Exquisite Postpartum and Emotional Care
My name is Romy and I live in Missoula, Montana, 30 miles from where I was born in a long cabin near the Jocko River.
In addition to the beautiful intentional care I provide in my work, I am mother to 4 marvelous daughters. I am also the daughter of two remarkable people who are now gone. The precious grief I carry in addition to the monumental love I hold through my own mothering and daughtering have been inspiration and catalyst for transformation into the person I am now.
And I’m honored to offer gentle, grounding support for all stages of life.
As a NeuroEmotional coach, I combine deep listening, empathy, and nervous system regulation to help clients near and far feel seen, supported, and safe.
As a postpartum doula, I bring in my NeuroEmotional tools, in addition to hands-on personalized care and extensive experience with birth, babies, and parenthood.
My work looks less like advice-giving and more like walking alongside people—holding space, asking powerful questions, and helping them make sense of their emotional landscape.
Whether in-person for postpartum care or over the phone for coaching, I provide meaningful support for parents and non-parents alike.
From new parenthood to grief, burnout, anxiety, or simply wanting deeper connection, my approach meets each person exactly where they are.
“She was supportive, understanding and gave me tangible tools to work through my challenges. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Hiring Romy was the best decision we made for our birth and postpartum experience.”
“As I navigated post-partum anxiety, I found my emotional coaching sessions with Romy just as, if not more, valuable than my therapy sessions with my counselor.”
“She also provides NeuroEmotional support, and she is straight up magic on your nervous system.
I feel so seen, so supported in Romy’s presence.”
What I offer:
Postpartum Care
I provide comprehensive support in all things newborn and new parenthood - and postpartum starts at birth and never actually ends!
Which is why it’s so helpful and important to have wraparound support for the 4th trimester - and emotional support from then on.
Care for Everyone Else
We humans need help at any and every life stage, so whether you're navigating new parenthood - or other matters of life - I’m here to meet you right where you are.
I offer gentle and potent witnessing and tangible tools that will support your unique journey in strong connection with your truest, biggest self.
