Events, Talks, & Podcasts

I speak from the intersection of attachment, genetics, and perinatal mental health — where science meets story, and learning becomes accessible. Whether through events, conferences, workshops, or panel discussions, I aim to create spaces that invite reflection, connection, and compassion. My talks often explore themes of identity, loss, motherhood, and the emotional impact of genetic and perinatal experiences, always through a relational and trauma-informed lens.

Each event is an opportunity to bridge understanding — between disciplines, between the personal and the professional, and between who we are and how we show up for others.

If you’d like to collaborate, host a workshop, or invite me to speak at your event, I’d love to hear from you.

Online Events Workshop

Participants can expect to develop a more nuanced understanding of how supervision is shaped not only by attachment dynamics but also by identity, power and systemic context. You may feel more confident navigating ethical conversations across difference, and more aware of how to offer a secure base that is culturally responsive as well as emotionally containing.
