“Natalie and LAVA Solutions were my lifeline during the hardest season of my life. As a new mom facing postpartum depression, family struggles, and deep personal pain, I felt completely lost. Natalie created a safe, judgment-free space where I could heal, be heard, and start putting myself first again. Her support was everything.”
