Hey Sis,
I am your virtual holistic high-risk pregnancy nurse coach Cassandra,
​
I'm a high-risk labor and delivery nurse, holistic nurse coach, and founder of Hakuna Matata Mama.
​
For the last 13 years, I've cared for women navigating high-risk pregnancies, unexpected diagnoses, complicated births, pregnancy loss, and everything in between. I've also noticed something.
​
Two women can walk into the same appointment, hear the exact same news, and have completely different experiences. Why? Because they aren't the same woman.
​
They carry different fears, different histories, different support systems, and different stories and that is why I've never believed in one-size-fits-all support.
​
💜 The woman pregnant after loss needs something different than the woman navigating gestational diabetes.
💜 The woman facing her first induction needs something different than the woman preparing for her third baby.
💜 The woman sitting in front of me today may need something different next month.
​
My job isn't to hand you a script and tell you what to do. My job is to meet you where you are, help you understand your options, build confidence in yourself, and support you through the transformation into motherhood.
​
Because pregnancy isn't just about growing a baby. It's about becoming a mother, the best version of yourself! And that journey deserves support as unique as you are.

Thank you for visiting!
Here's my story...
From a young age, my dream was to become a labor and delivery nurse, driven by a deep passion for women's health and the transformative journey of motherhood. Over the past 13 years, I've had the privilege of supporting women through their unique paths into motherhood, from high-risk antepartum stays and triage to the profound moments of labor, birth, and the challenging times of pregnancy losses and through the postpartum period.


With 7 years of experience in high-risk nursing and 5 years of travel nursing across the US, I've had the opportunity to learn and grow in diverse healthcare settings, enriching my ability to provide comprehensive care and support.
During my travel nursing experience, I have been fortunate to witness birth in many different ways, moving from state to state and hospital to hospital. This exposure underscored for me that there are numerous valid approaches to birthing a baby, each with its own unique strengths and considerations.
