Calling all NICU Grads!

Sending a “shout out” to NICU survivors! We know who we are; warriors surfing life’s challenges from the moment we arrived. Please join me in creating an active, engaged, progressive community of NICU “Neonatal Womb” warriors.

I am the founder of The Neonatal Womb Foundation, a 24 week gestation surviving twin, and an open heart surgery recipient. I, like you, am engaged in a healing journey. I recognize that due to our early arrivals an assumption has been made that we have no memory of our early traumas. Nothing could be further from the truth….

Thru this blog connection “The Neonatal Womb Warriors” we will explore, acknowledge and legitimatize opportunities to heal our early birth related traumas. On this journey I will share my healing experiences with you as I engage in diverse healing modalities. Together we will share our collective recollections, feelings, needs, and life empowering experiences.

Please join me on this wild, vibrant and exciting journey!

Surf’s up!!!
