ABOUT
Milk & Honey Parenting
- Erich Fromm, American Psychologist
At Milk & Honey Parenting, I believe that parenting doesn’t have to be challenging all of the time. I want you to feel connected to your child and confident in your ability to raise humans. When you have a solid foundation and the right support system, you will find more magic in these wonder years.
Milk & Honey is a concept of finding balance in the way you make everyday decisions for your family. It’s the idea of being nurturing, while also holding strong boundaries. It’s breaking free from constraints laid out by popular parenting models. It’s allowing yourself to enjoy parenthood just as much as you let your children enjoy childhood.
“Milk is the symbol of the first aspect of love, that of care and affirmation. Honey symbolizes the sweetness of life, the love for it and the happiness in being alive.”

ABOUT
They were excited to parent and I found my passion - guiding and empowering parents as they navigated the challenges of raising young children.
After becoming a mother in 2021 to my son, my partner and I felt overwhelmed with all the varying advice we received from our family, friends, and every other parent on the internet. We needed someone to bounce our thoughts off of. Someone to hear our worries and fears. Someone to help us make decisions that were best for our family and feel secure in that choice. This need is so evident that I created Milk & Honey Parenting in 2023 and have since helped many families find their balance.
They saw transformation in themselves and their children.
Milk & Honey Parenting was sparked in the middle of the pandemic. In 2020, I left the classroom to isolate with a pod of families and their young children, which we dubbed “Peapod Preschool.” Although the intention was to create a preschool alternative for the children, we ended up doing so much more for the parents.
Parents and children deserve support that celebrates what makes them unique.
I have wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember. I loved playing pretend and taking care of my “babies'' as a child. Naturally, I spent my teenage years babysitting and volunteering for preschools and programs for children with disabilities. I followed my passion and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Inclusive Early Childhood Education where I learned that education and parenting models are not a “one size fits all”. Your family's values and personalities will lead you down your own distinct path.
