MEET OUR TEAM
Lynn & Chrissy have been best friends for over 25 years and are the proud co-founders of Kindred Beginnings.
Kindred Beginnings was established to create a network of support resources for the family-building community.
We aim to provide connection through support groups, education and by providing referrals to local and national resources.
Infertility changed my life for the good, the bad, and the ugly.
An early educator by day, I decided to turn my pain into purpose with the mission to help others successfully navigate their own family-building journeys. I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband, Drew, and two miracle girls, Kayla and Rylie.
I’ve dedicated much of my free time to providing validation and education for the family-building community. I volunteer for RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association to provide virtual peer-led support groups to those in need. I’ve also founded the Walk of Hope NJ, leading the most successful annual fundraising walk for RESOLVE. I am the author of a children's book series about assisted reproductive technology, Creating Me!, and the co-author of a mindfulness coloring book for those on the family-building journey.
I am a certified Integrative Fertility Coach and provide individuals and couples with personalized approaches to coping with the stress of family-building. To chat with me about coaching services, schedule a call.

Walk of Hope NJ
Each April we recognize those who are family-building during National Infertility Awareness Week. We raise awareness and funds for the entire family-building community through our Walk of Hope NJ. Our Walk is designed to educate, validate and advocate.
All proceeds and donations received will be provided to RESOLVE: The National Infertility and Family Building Association and our local community partner Keeping Hope Alive.
Walk of Hope NJ
Amazing things happen when we come together in shared community.
2027 will mark the 10th annual Walk of Hope NJ.
The Walk of Hope NJ has the highest single year total donations raised, the highest cumulative totals raised, and the highest average amount raised. In our 9 years of this event, we have raised over $215,000 for this community with over 2,200 participants.
This wouldn’t be possible without us coming together in shared community to validate, educate and advocate for the family-building community.
