Meet Justine
The birth of my two children profoundly changed my life as I realized the impact of our life experiences on how we feel during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. After completing my Ph.D. in representations of sexual consent and trauma, I left academia to train as a childbirth educator and cofounded of Resilient Birth, a trauma-informed childbirth education and parenting support organization in Waltham. This career change may seem like a dramatic shift in direction, but I find myself following a path that ties together my professional and my personal life. This work unites my expertise as an academic, my experience as a teacher, and my knowledge of the profound changes and challenges of parenthood. I know that every birth is unique, every is journey different. Some are straightforward, some are full of obstacles. Some leave us raw, some leave us triumphant. Each brings a soul into the world, each transforms the world of a parent. Whatever the path, I want to help you begin life with your newborn knowing your own power, making informed decisions, and trusting your parenting abilities.
