Curator of The Shop @ Cary House
I first discovered Cary House during my first pregnancy and was immediately embraced by its incredible support network. One of the founders even walked alongside me as my doula for both of my births. Throughout my journey, I found deep support in the many offerings here—midwifery, chiropractic care, massage, yoga, and both prenatal and postpartum groups.
My passion lies in holistic, natural living and spiritual practices, along with exploring alternative healing modalities and pure, natural products. With a background as a curious scientist and my current work in business and operations strategy, curating The Shop @ Cary House brings together both my analytical side and my love for holistic wellness—a true passion project that feels like home.
