about poppy
how we got here
My story
Poppy was born from both love and loss. In March 2024, I experienced my fifth pregnancy and second miscarriage.
At that time, my baby was the size of a poppy seed. That tiny seed became a symbol—of how even the smallest life leaves an impact, of the deep grief that follows loss, and of the way nature reminds us that beauty and sorrow can coexist.
This farm is my love letter to that baby and to every mother who has carried grief inside her. It is a place where loss is met with tenderness, where healing is supported through the cycles of nature, and where we can collectively reimagine what it means to grieve well.
Poppy is not just a farm—it is the physical manifestation of a larger movement, one that seeks to transform how we experience grief and create spaces where it can be honored and expressed.

Let's Connect
My experience with loss extends beyond baby loss. I have grieved deeply for:
💔 My two younger brothers, whose absence remains a part of my daily life.
🐾 My beloved dog, Bella, a soul companion who taught me unconditional love.
👵 My grandmother, who first showed me the beauty of a garden.
🩺 Chronic illness, which forced me to release the life I once knew.
🏡 Mold exposure, which led to profound upheaval and loss of home and stability.
🌿 The intangible losses of motherhood, including identity shifts, the grieving of past versions of myself, and the transformation that comes with raising children while holding space for grief.
These experiences have not only shaped me personally but have also fueled my dedication to creating spaces where grief is honored and supported.
Grief has been one of my greatest teachers. It has shaped me, broken me open, and led me here—to this work, this land, this mission.

WHY POPPY EXISTS
our Mission
Poppy exists to provide grieving mothers and families with a sanctuary for remembrance, healing, and community. Through flowers, ritual, and regenerative land stewardship, we create opportunities to honor loss and experience the cycles of grief in connection with nature.
Alongside my lived experience, I have dedicated years to studying and practicing trauma-informed grief support, nervous system healing, and somatic work. My professional background includes:
🕊️ Certified Somatic Practitioner & Nervous System Coach
🕊️ Trauma-Informed Yoga & Meditation Teacher
🕊️ Breathwork Facilitator
🕊️ NLP, Hypnosis, & Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner
🕊️ Founder of a 10-in-1 Coaching Certification Program (called Empath Coach), training others in healing modalities
🕊️ Creator of MotherGrief, a podcast dedicated to grief literacy, healing, and advocacy
🕊️ Author of 21 Days of Healing and Co-Author of Resilience Redefined
🕊️ Speaker, writer, and educator on grief, nervous system regulation, and motherhood
My work is rooted in both deep personal experience and evidence-based healing practices, allowing me to guide others through their grief in a way that is compassionate, embodied, and transformative.
Grief is not something we “fix.” It is something we tend to, just like a garden—offering care, presence, and space to grow around it. That is the heart of my work at Poppy.
Embodying our mission
what we dream about
our vision
We envision a world where grief is held with reverence, where mothers have spaces to mourn and be witnessed, and where nature serves as both a teacher and a balm for the grieving heart. Through Poppy, we are reclaiming grief as a sacred part of life and offering tangible, embodied experiences of healing.
