Family traditions, unsolicited advice, and ‘we did it this way’ are not excuses to override your boundaries. I help first-time moms reclaim their authority during pregnancy and postpartum - without guilt, without drama, and fully in your power.
What if we stopped calling it "being difficult" and started calling it "being a good mother"?
Your instincts are sacred, your boundaries are non-negotiable, and your baby's well-being comes first. Even if it makes your family uncomfortable.
When your mom questions your birth plan, when your in-laws act entitled to influence how you raise your baby, when your partner suggests you "let them feel like part of the team" instead of having your back, you don't have to explain yourself. You don't have to justify your choices. You don't have to make everyone comfortable.
The moment you become a mother, you become your baby's first line of defense. And if you can't disappoint your MIL now, how will you protect your child later?
Your baby's well-being comes first.
Even if it makes your family uncomfortable.
Too Many Mothers Are Gaslit Into Obedience.
Avoiding conflict isn't keeping the peace. It's teaching people that their fears and beliefs matter more than your instincts as a mother.
Here's what most people won't tell you:
The cultural programming that tells mothers to be selfless and accommodating is harmful. Drawing inside the lines creates postpartum depression, damaged relationships, and mothers who lose themselves.
You don't have to keep the peace.
You can turn misguided "good intentions" into respect and turn even your most challenging family members into your most valuable source of support.
I'm on a mission to disrupt the suffocating pressure and social expectations around pregnancy, birth, and parenting. So that new moms can stop being distracted and shamed out of their instincts..
While most people avoid conflict to keep the peace, I teach you to use
that same conflict to create MORE peace.
After figuring this out for myself, I've worked with clients across countries and cultures (east and west) and proved time and time again that you can transform your most challenging relationships into your greatest sources of support.

Hi, I'm Lena!
Some of Our Transformations:
"I learned so much from Lena!
I'm all about making people feel seen, and I felt like setting boundaries would be hurting the people I love but Lena helped me realize it's actually empowering them.
I wouldn't have been able to see that without Lena and her support."
Destiny
"Lena, I want to thank you from the absolute depth of my soul for teaching me how to communicate better with myself, with other people, how to approach things that matter to me, how to have conversations that are hard...
I am endlessly grateful for you and my life would not look the way it does today if it wasn't for you."
