Hi, I’m Alexis

I’m a mom of two, and I know firsthand the brutality of postpartum anxiety.

After suffering two hemorrhages with my daughter, my body got stuck in constant fight-or-flight. Every small symptom—mine or the baby’s—sent me spiraling into panic. I was hypervigilant to the point of exhaustion, checking and re-checking everything, convinced that disaster was always one moment away.

When I asked doctors about it, I got the usual responses: “It’s just hormones,” “This is normal after trauma,” “Try to relax.” But I needed to understand why my brain felt like it had been rewired. Why I couldn’t shake the anxiety even when I was physically healing.

What I discovered changed everything.

I learned about how blood loss affects cortisol regulation. How infection and illness compound hormonal disruption. How closely spaced pregnancies impact recovery. How trauma literally rewires your amygdala. How your nervous system gets stuck in protection mode when it’s experienced genuine threat.

For the first time, my experience made complete sense. I wasn’t weak or “bad at recovery.” My body and brain had been through multiple life-threatening events and were doing exactly what they were designed to do: keep me alive and hyper-vigilant to protect against future threats.

That understanding became my healing.

Now I spend my time translating complex research into accessible insights for other mothers who’ve been through their own version of hell and deserve to understand why their brains feel hijacked. I’m not a doctor or therapist—I’m a woman who nearly died becoming a mother and refused to accept “it’s just trauma, it’ll pass” as a complete answer.

My mission is simple: Every mother deserves to understand the science behind her experience. You deserve answers that go deeper than platitudes. You deserve to know that your anxiety made biological sense, and that healing is possible when you understand what your body actually went through.

Through my research, my community and my workshops, I’m here to help you find those answers too.

Because understanding your story is the first step toward rewriting it.
