Peace! My name is Veronica but most folks call me Vee and I am an educator, birth doula, reflective practitioner, event curator and author based in CT. I am also a wife and mama of two beautiful children who continue to shape and deepen the way I move through the world. 

​

My educational background includes my B.A. in Human Development & Family Studies and my M.Ed. in Higher Education & Student Affairs Administration. I've spent the past 10 years supporting college students, faculty and staff in identity development, social justice education, personal growth and building leadership capacity. I am also a trained interdisciplinary birth doula and have been supporting mothers and families during the perinatal period for the past 3 years. 

​

As a Black woman who has navigated toxic perfectionism, burnout, anxiety, and the pressure to constantly produce, I have learned what it means to pour into others from an empty cup. When I became a mother just two weeks before the COVID pandemic began, everything shifted. Motherhood invited me into a new relationship with myself and revealed how much women need spaces where they can exhale, be cared for and return to themselves. 

​

I created Veronica’s Vessel, LLC because I know too many women, especially women of color, are navigating motherhood without space to be truly honest about what their vessels are holding and without access to the tools and community that will help lighten the load. I believe that women and mothers deserve a village, to not just operate out of survival mode, and to have a space to process the experiences, responsibilities, dreams, stories and wisdom that live within their bodies.

​

The significance of the vessel is honoring the ways women and mothers carry life, community, and ancestral memory across generations. Veronica’s Vessel holds space not only for mothers but for the women within them - the women seeking rest, release, joy, nervous system care, and support through every season of life.
