I’m Maris, like “Marissa” but without the “uh” at the end. As a mother of two, writer and former podcast host, I’ve spent countless hours studying the physical, emotional and spiritual shifts that pregnancy and postpartum set in motion. I want to share the insight I’ve collected over the years so that other women can make more informed decisions about their own care. I hope to be a touchstone in the river, a loving presence that people can turn to for resourcing, guidance and support as they find their own footing on the banks of motherhood.
