Hi, I’m Jillian Perry!

I trained as a psychotherapist first, before I was ever a mother. I sat across from people in their most vulnerable moments and learned how to hold space and explore what was underneath the surface.

Then I became a mother myself, and motherhood profoundly changed me. It began with having an autoimmune response to my placenta, dealing with bad periods that a doctor could not explain or help, and I was tense and aching, and trying to hold everything together. And I started seeing a gap in our care post baby. Not only did I see this in myself but I could hear it in the mothers I was supporting in therapy. These women who could name every feeling accurately and still feel just as exhausted and dysregulated without getting taking into account our whole bodies.

That gap is what led me toward holistic health coaching. We have to talk about the complete picture because we are whole body humans. Blood sugar, sleep, nervous system regulation, the beliefs we tell about ourselves, the shifting of priorities, the becoming of a mother.

I've seen firsthand that a mother's body has to be supported before anything else can hold, because I’ve experienced this myself.

My soul mission is to help mothers find more joy, presence, and vitality in motherhood. This is the most profound shift we can experience in life. I don’t believe it has to be white knuckled or suffered through in fact I never want a mom to have to settle for that state of being.My
