Lisa, Spreading HOPE for Celia Jane, Hazel Sarah & Baby B
“My children alive and beyond are always a part of my everyday. I wake up with each of them on my mind & I go to sleep with each of them in my heart.
What I want to share is that I was that person who thought I wouldn’t make it, in fact most people close to me weren’t sure I was going to make it either. But now, I’m in a place in my life where I can share some hope. I did survive and more than that, I want to. And that is worth sharing.
I’m a CranioSacral Therapist, I work with people navigating loss, pregnancy after loss, TFMR, and so much more through somatic bodywork. Being a loss parent myself, allows me to connect in to a sacred grounded space to be able to hold and honor somatic experiences for others. I feel honored to be able to hold this space for this community the way it held space for me judgement free when I was in the deep.
I hold monthly loss group meetings to support the community and I use resources from RTZ to support me and the group. I have also attended a provider zoom.”

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month.
Our HOPEtober annual event honors all losses on the journey to parenthood.
Even though so many of us have experienced pregnancy or infant loss, or know someone who has, it is a loss that exists in the shadows. As bereaved parents, we feel isolated and alone. But together, we can shine a light on pregnancy and infant loss, helping others to live a life that holds both grief and joy.
HOPEtober Luminaries partner with us during the month of October to be an advocate and ambassador in spreading awareness and shining a light on pregnancy and infant loss. By sharing our stories we’re bringing awareness to pregnancy and infant loss, as well as the resources and support that exist through Return to Zero: Hope. As a nonprofit, raising awareness and funds are essential to our cause and support programs.
We'd be grateful if you you would consider making a contribution to Lisa’s fundraiser in honor of Celia Jane, Hazel Sarah & Baby B. Your gift ensures that other parents who endure loss on their journey to parenthood have the support, resources, and community they need in order to navigate life after loss.
This year our goal is to raise $75,000 during the month of October so that we can continue spread hope and healing by providing resources and support to grieving families and their care providers.
Thank you for helping to shatter the silence around pregnancy & infant loss.
