Me & Lil' Bean
Hey, I’m Kim! Mom to three awesome adult humans, sidekick to my dog Moo, and reluctant servant to our cat, Stella… Artois.
I was raised in Montreal, surrounded by a large extended family; all within shouting distance. That deep sense of community shaped me, and I’ve carried it with me ever since.
Thirty years ago, we moved to Calgary just three weeks before giving birth to my first baby. Between the stress of relocating and leaving behind my support system, I felt extremely isolated and overwhelmed. Breastfeeding didn’t come easily, and three months after my baby was born, my father passed away. Grief, exhaustion, and postpartum depression hit hard.
I learned firsthand during those early days after birthing just how vital support is for parents and am now honoured to walk beside them through the transformation.
