Motherhood & Mental Health
There’s a saying in counseling, “What you don’t transform you transmit.” Maternal mental health is such an important topic. Join Andrea as she talks about PPA, PPD, warning signs to look out for, and strategies to help break down the stigma around this topic that touches so many of us.

My most sacred goal as a counselor and coach is to help my clients transform their pain into places of great wisdom and peace. I believe that each of us is the expert of our own story and experiences and it is my privilege to listen to and honor each clients story as they move towards healing. My experience I received my education from Arizona State University, earning a Bachelors Degree in Child and Family Development and spent a year involved in Autism Research. I then received my Masters Degree in Counseling. Early in my career, I served as a counselor in an intensive outpatient facility, working exclusively with adolescents dealing with substance dependency and addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and self injury. I then opened Bloom Healing, which provides individual and group counseling specializing in addiction, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, trauma, and childhood behavior. I am passionate about empowering women and running women’s groups are the absolute favorite part of my job. Being a mother is the best and hardest calling of my life. I have the privilege of raising three delightful, spirited, loving, chaotic children- Ethan, Tyler and Charlotte.

I’ve always been passionate about health and fitness. In 2011 I left my job as a second grade teacher to become a stay at home mom. I soon found myself filling my free time with exercise, creating healthy recipes for my family, and sharing them both on a healthy living blog. Through blogging I discovered that I wasn’t just passionate about MY health and wellness but about helping others on their healthy living journeys. So I became a group fitness coach, and personal trainer. I currently coach at KaiaFIT in Roseville and also work with women virtually through online training and nutritional coaching. When I’m not coaching or training, I love spending time with my husband and two sons Ayden 8 and Jax 3. I love to drink wine, eat good food, laugh with friends and enjoy living a healthy, but sustainable lifestyle. Education and Qualifications include, BA Chico State in Liberal Studies, AFFA Group Fitness Certified, NASM Personal Trainer Certified, NASM Fitness Nutrition certified.
ONCE POST-NATAL, ALWAYS POST-NATAL
Raise your hand if your body has never been quite the same since giving birth. Your body did an amazing thing (maybe even more than once!), and it’s understandable that it wouldn’t be the same, but it doesn’t have to be that way forever! Amy talks about common post-natal health issues and what you can do at home and what might need more attention from a doctor.
