About Me - The Nesting Heart

Your concerns were once mine.
Your fears were once mine.

I get it.

Hello! I'm Namrita

I am a: Mama, wife, birthkeeper, educator, mentor, coach, psychologist, advocate, change maker, believer, doer, teller of stories, holder of space, asker of questions, and challenger of assumptions.

I laugh easily, I love my own company just as much as I do that of others, and I choose to see the good in the world and celebrate it.

I’m intuitive, I’m empathetic, I’m respectful, I’m supportive.

Most of all, I love being Mama to my free spirited and feisty 7 year old and curious 1 year old who teach me something new everyday and inspire me to be a better version of myself.

There Is One Core Value At The Foundation Of All The Work I Do: Respect

It Is this value that I advocate for mothers, fathers AND babies at the center of their birth And parenting experiences.
It is the same value I use in my own interactions with my clients and my loved ones.
It is the value that defines my own birth and parenting journey and one that I hope my daughter and son imbibe and embrace.
