"I could not recommend Ryah enough! She is very knowledgeable, she taught us so much we didn't know, she is very supportive and always a phone call away, she helped come up with game plans with us as a team, she made us feel very confident and well supported throughout the whole process. She also understands and knows everyone has different bodies so she caters to you specifically!"
-Emiliee Gifford
Rooted in biology, guided by intuition
Hi there, I am peri and post natal mental health specaialist and Doula guru, Ryah Jo. Welcome to my Wax & Wane site. Over the last 14 years, I have had the awesome privilage of walking along side women as an advocate, Doula and health coach. Being a trusted guide to women & their families while navigating the medical system during newly charged physical, emotional and biological changes that come about in pregnancy and post partum, isn't anything you have to do alone. With me by your side, we can get to know what your body is holistically asking for, nourish it & set attainable personal goals. My goal at Wax & Wane is to fill in any gaps in resources, professional guidance, and help answer any questions along the way so you are able to make the most out of your vists with you providers and feel empowered and in charge of your healthcare. With me, you'll you have an experienced empathetic guide in your back pocket to call on as needed. As a mother myself, I know that makes all the difference in getting thruough the hard stuff.
my coaching combines
Mental health Integration - To identify emotional patterns, trauma respnses and other cycles
Functional health Education -Understanding hormones, metabolism and nutrition
Nervouse system Regulation - Practical tools fro grounding, sleeping and stress reliance
Embodied coaching- Using awerness and compassion to restore
At Wax & Wane, I approach women's health as a living rhythm that changes through her age, experiences and emotions. Through every season- from fertility to pregnancy, post partum and into perimenopause- your body carries a unique intellegence that deserves to be heard and nourished. Rather than trying to 'fix' they symptoms, we work together to understand what your body is asking for then set attainable goals for reaching your best version of you yet. My method blends functional medicince prinicles, holistic coaching a nervouse-system as well as in person support in the post partum period with intuitive listening and embodidment practices. Each program is designedd to meet you where you are and guide you to reconnect with your biology, vitality and self-expression
