Return to Zero: Hope Provider Spotlight
Tell us a little about the work that you do
After becoming perinatal mental health certified, I started gravitating more towards client's experiencing pregnancy loss and fertility challenges. For the last few years I've focused more of my practice of providing support to individuals and families experiencing these challenges. Much of my practice focuses on reproductive health and this is a specific area in which many are underserved.
Why are you passionate about serving the pregnancy and infant loss community?
I'm passionate about working with clients dealing with pregnancy loss because it's a time where mental, emotional, relational, and physical health converge. For many people, it's one of the most challenging times in their life. I pride myself in being able to hold space and walk along side my clients while also helping them move forward as they are ready.
How has RTZ impacted your work?
I often refer clients to RTZ for support groups, educational resources, and to find a community of support. Having RTZ to direct clients to is an invaluable resource.

Return to Zero: Hope is a community of bereaved parents, families, and providers offering inclusive resources and holistic support for anyone whose life has been touched by loss, including infertility, secondary infertility, miscarriage, ending a wanted pregnancy, stillbirth, infant or toddler death, loss through surrogacy or failed adoption.
Provider interactions during pregnancy and infant loss have a lifelong impact on a family’s healing and wellbeing. RTZ Hope supports organizations and individuals who work with parents who have experienced perinatal loss, including hospitals, clinics, health providers, midwives, doulas, lactation consultants, mental health clinicians, peer advocates, and support organizations. We partner with health professionals to ensure they have the training, emotional support, and resources they need to confidently care for families at one of the most tragic moments of their journey towards parenthood.
This year alone, we've sent over $3000 in grief and loss material samples to health providers so they are more resourced and empowered to support bereaved families. Will you donate and help us continue to get these resources into the hands of those that need them?
