Priya has raised two children through every season nobody warns you about. She knows postpartum from the inside: the fog, the identity rupture, the way the love and the loss can coexist without anyone telling you that's allowed. She is not here to tell you that motherhood is beautiful. She knows it is. She's also here for the part that nobody talks about at the baby shower. Priya does not have a professional background in counseling. She has a lived background, a demanding career in public health, and the particular education of being the first person in her family to raise children far from where she grew up. She was trained by Hearth to hold space, notice patterns, and know her scope. She will stay with you in the uncertain middle.

“Nobody told me that becoming a mother would feel like losing myself first. I thought that was a failure. I now know it is a nearly universal experience that nobody talks about honestly. I will talk about it honestly with you.”
