Garden of Life Coaching & Retreat

How are you doing? You may be asked that question often…
But seriously— how are you REALLY doing??? It can be a difficult and painful question to answer.

Supporting women through personal coaching, meaningful gatherings & peaceful stays at Gardenview—including a welcoming place for homebirth families to labor, birth, rest & recover. 🌿 After all, Life is complicated at the best of times, and can be excruciating at its worst. Even if you do try to open up, do people even truly listen??? You deserve to be heard. You need to know how amazing you are. Y

ou also need to know that you were created on purpose, for a purpose. And you deserve to have encouragement and support for any areas of your life that are out of balance. If this resonates with you, then you are warmly invited to schedule a FREE one-hour consultation with me. You can share your unique situation and together we’ll figure out how I can best support you!

I’m so grateful to begin sharing this new offering through Gardenview Retreat. 😊

If you or someone you know is planning a homebirth in the Chattanooga area and may be looking for a peaceful place to nest before baby arrives, welcome their baby alongside their own midwife and birth team, or rest and recover afterward, I’d love to connect. 💕

The first step is a complimentary Homebirth Discovery Call so we can talk through your plans and explore whether Gardenview may be a good fit.

If someone comes to mind, I’d be honored if you’d share this with them.

If you’ve been carrying everyone else’s needs and haven’t had much space to hear your own thoughts…

Come spend 90 peaceful minutes in a comfortable circle of women where you don’t have to perform, fix anything, or have all the answers. ✨😌✨

Clarity & Connection at Gardenview is a small monthly gathering designed to help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what matters most.

This month’s theme is Rediscovering Joy—a timely invitation after the busyness of summer.

Choose the time that works best for you:
☀️ 10:00 AM
🌙 6:00 PM

We’ll enjoy meaningful conversation, light refreshments, and a peaceful setting where every woman has space to be heard.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or simply longing for an unhurried evening of genuine connection, you’ll be warmly welcomed. 🤗

A few spaces are still available. 💕

What a beautiful beginning at Gardenview! 🌿

Wednesday evening, Fiona and I had the joy of hosting a fabulous group of midwives, doulas, student midwives, birth assistants, lactation professionals, and others who support families throughout the birth journey. The Coach House was full to the brim, and my heart certainly was too! 🤩

The evening was filled with meaningful conversation, new connections, thoughtful ideas, and so much encouragement as we toured the spaces and explored how Gardenview might serve local and traveling homebirth families before, during, and after birth.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who came, shared their experience, asked questions, and helped me imagine what this peaceful place could become. Hearing that there is a genuine need for flexible, welcoming accommodations has left me even more excited to see where God leads.

This is only the beginning, and I’m so thankful for the beautiful community already gathering around this vision. 💕

If you are a birth professional—or know a family who may benefit from Gardenview—I would love to connect!

P.S. I was having so much fun visiting that not everyone who attended made it into the photos, but I’m so grateful for each person who came and contributed to such a meaningful evening.

A special thank-you to Julia for capturing several of these moments—and to everyone pictured for allowing me to share them. 🥰

Exciting update! 🎉

For quite some time, many of you have known that I’ve been praying and seeking the Lord’s direction for Gardenview Retreat. He has recently opened new doors and allowed me to connect with local midwives and others who serve growing families. A beautiful new vision has begun to take shape—one I never saw coming…

A homebirth retreat at Gardenview! 👶

As a former labor and delivery nurse, the opportunity to serve families in this way brings me joy beyond words. ☺️ Gardenview seems beautifully suited to offer women and families a peaceful place to nest, give birth with their chosen birth team, then rest and recover.

God is so GOOD!!! 🤩

I’m delighted to take this next step and invite our local birth worker community to the first Gardenview Retreat / Homebirth Community Open House on Wednesday, July 29, from 6:00–8:00 PM.

Midwives, doulas, birth assistants, lactation consultants, students, and others who support families throughout the birth journey are warmly welcome.

Please message me with any questions or to let me know you’re hoping to come. I’d love to have you here! 💝

I’m excited to finally share a little peek inside our newly renovated Gardenview Coach House! It’s truly been a labor of love, and I’m looking forward to all the ways this space will serve women and families in the years ahead.

Whether you’re gathering for a retreat, celebrating a special season of life, welcoming a new baby, or simply looking for a peaceful place to rest, every detail has been chosen with comfort and calm in mind. I hope you enjoy this little tour! 🌿

Motherhood takes many forms… and so does the care, strength, and quiet perseverance women carry every day. 💗

Today I’m honoring the women who give so much of themselves to others — mothers, grandmothers, foster moms, spiritual mothers, caregivers, and women carrying unseen burdens with grace.

Praying you feel loved and encouraged today. 🌷

PS. If you’re in need of an encouraging word today, feel free to reach out. We’re all walking through this thing called life together. 💝

I’m excited to share my first small gathering at the Coach House here at Garden of Life Coaching & Retreat!🌿

This space has been slowly coming together, and it feels incredibly special to finally begin opening it up for intentional gatherings.

Clarity & Connection at Gardenview is a peaceful, faith-based midweek morning designed for women who could use a little space to step away, reflect, and reconnect.

This will be a very small, intentional group (just 4–8 women), gathered in the Coach House and surrounding gardens for a quiet and meaningful time together.

Date: Wednesday, May 6
Timeframe: 10:00–11:30 AM
Location: Gardenview (my property here in Chattanooga)

If you’ve been feeling stretched, busy, or simply in need of a reset, this may be a beautiful opportunity to pause for a bit.

I’d love to have you there if it feels like a good fit. Feel free to message me for details or to reserve your spot.💝

There’s something quietly grounding about gathering eggs at the end of the day…

A simple rhythm.
A reminder of provision.
A moment to slow down and notice what’s been given.

These little moments are part of what I love about life here, and part of what I hope women experience when they come to Gardenview— a chance to step out of the noise and reconnect with what really matters.✨

Hello friends! These past few years I’ve been quiet on social media while focusing on family, my coaching work, and spending A LOT of time caring for and shaping our property. I’ve decided it’s finally time to begin sharing here again.☺️

The gardens and outdoor spaces around our home have developed into something very special, and I am excited to begin introducing Gardenview— the name we’re using for our property here at Garden of Life Coaching & Retreat. We are now able to open the gardens for very small weddings, elopements, and other meaningful gatherings. Hooray! 🎉

The album I just shared offers a glimpse of some of the peaceful outdoor spaces around the property.

There have been several other fun (and BIG) projects in the works— Stay tuned for additional albums that will highlight the long-awaited and beautifully renovated Gardenview Coach House… as well as the bridal-inspired Gardenview Retreat Suite.

This has all been a long-held dream quietly taking shape behind the scenes, and I look forward to sharing more of what we’re creating here. 💝

Hello friends… here’s your for :

Communication isn’t what counts… Comprehension is!

Very few people listen. I mean really and truly listen.
How many times have you been talking with someone only to have the other person start looking at their phone? 🤨

Or how often have you had the feeling that the other person is just waiting for you to pause what you’re saying so they can jump in and say what’s already filling their mind? 😝

We’ve all had it done to us… and if we’re going to be honest here, we’ve all done it too. 😔

Learning to truly listen is an art. And it’s worth learning. Any of us CAN start to be more intentional in each and every communication. I’ve even built a successful practice because of it. People need to be heard. YOU deserve to be heard.

Comprehension and the full understanding that comes from it is the best gift we can give to the people in our lives. 💝

So choose to be the best listener your friends know… you might be surprised at the blessings that will flow back in return! 💕
