About Me
Welcome to Bump to Baby and Beyond!
Thank you for stopping by! I can't wait to learn more about you and your journey into motherhood and all the moments, big and small, throughout the years. I hope this site makes you feel educated, empowered, and confident in your journey.

​
A little about me...I'm Kirsten, the founder of Bump to Baby and Beyond. My journey into motherhood hasn't been a straightforward route - there have been many twists, turns, and detours throughout. But ultimately each turn has given me more strength, knowledge, and confidence in the moments ahead.
​
I am an eating disorder survivor, infertility warrior, rare disease advocate, nurse, mother, wife, and so much more. I am a natural born caregiver and have always been deeply compelled to help others, so after working for a few years as a software developer I went back to school and earned a Master's in Nursing. I owe so much of who I am as a mother to both my nursing education and my experience as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurse.
​
As I shared glimpses into my story, I quickly realized that it was not only therapeutic for me but so many people reached out and shared their stories with me. Through listening to their stories and my personal experiences, I've learned we're all on our unique journeys, no two are the same, and parenting nor our children are a one size fits all.
I built this platform to share and connect with others, provide educational content backed by research and experience, and hopefully you'll laugh, smile, and find hope in your journey to
bump, baby, and beyond!
