Finding Joy and Hope in the Darker Parts of Life

Together we will find the support, health, and wholeness you're looking for.

Hi! I'm Georgia! And I am the owner and primary practitioner of A Joyful Hope.

As a mom of 3 little ones (and a 4th on the way), I know firsthand the joys and struggles that come with motherhood. Apart from dealing with the life transition that is having a child, I also understand birth trauma, the experience of birthing in the hospital and a birth center, a short NICU stay, as well as navigating what my relationship with my husband looks like in the midst of this. 

As a music therapist/mental health advocate/specialist, I have strove to understand how our brains and bodies experience our emotions and the desire for safety. Through my own journey with anxiety, depression, and grief, I have discovered and put into practice a variety of coping skills, therapy techniques, nervous system regulation methods, and also specialized training in grief-work, mother-infant bonding, guided imagery in music, and trauma resolution.

​

Here at A Joyful Hope, we bring a holistic and client-centered model of care to our time with you. Getting you to a place of thriving over just surviving is our overall goal, and we are happy to meet you right where you are in the midst of the survival. Together with my own mother, Tammy Gladding (our postpartum doula), we aim to create the best and most effective support for those who are dealing with any of the following: birth trauma, prenatal or postpartum mental health struggles (depression, anxiety, rage, etc.), anyone searching for better coping skills for dealing with pregnancy, birth, or life postpartum, as well as anyone in need of support or any trauma resolution, especially for situations involving unmet expectations or miscarriage/loss.

We are here for YOU!
