Hi Fellow Traveler,
I thought I’d take a moment to properly introduce myself and share a little of our story.
I’m a full-spectrum family physician, which means I care for everyone — from delivering babies and taking care of newborns all the way to grandparents. My days are busy and often unpredictable. But travel has always been my family’s reset button.
My husband and I started traveling with our boys when they were just babies. We learned (quickly) that with a little planning and a lot of snacks, it was not only possible — it was transformational.
Now, we use every school break to explore new places — not in an over-scheduled, Pinterest-perfect way — but in a practical, memory-making, joyful way.
That’s why I started Travel Restores the Soul:
To help other busy families travel more easily, more often, and with more intention.
And since I’m a doctor, I can also help you feel more confident with:
What to pack in case of illness
How to keep kids healthy while flying
Finding balance between fun and rest
Next up: I’ll be sharing a few of my favorite go-to travel strategies — the things I always do to make trips with kids smoother from start to finish.
See you in your inbox soon ✈️
