My name is Alex, I am the owner and operator of Braided Directions. I am a Doula, Social Worker and Childbirth Educator. My focus is on supporting women through loss and navigating the path to motherhood. Grief can feel like your being buried alive, especially when facing invisible losses that silently burden the heart. It could be the quiet pain of shattered dreams or the hidden sorrow of miscarriages. But recognizing and accepting this unseen pain is the first step towards healing and finding peace. Sharing our stories and supporting each other helps untangle the complexity of grief. In embracing the hurt we can’t see, we discover strength, connect with others, and eventually find a peaceful harbor in the midst of life’s journey. This is where my passion is and my dreams of helping others navigate the grief that exists within them.
