Whether you’re a first or fifth time mom, the postpartum period is a tender, precious, intense, challenging phase of life and motherhood. Your body has been through so much, and now your world revolves around caring for a tiny human who is entirely dependent on you. Many women feel pressure to be grateful and enjoy every minute because it “goes so fast”. While these sentiments may be true, they aren’t the full story. Postpartum can also feel lonely, exhausting, and entirely overwhelming at times. Not to mention the decision fatigue that many moms describe - is he hungry? Is this normal? How many naps should she be taking? He may be overtired…or undertired?? Maybe she has a tongue tie. Will I ever sleep again? And the list goes on.

It feels like you should have all the answers and like you shouldn’t be needing help. Let me be the first to say that you matter, this is hard, and you deserve to have the support you need. I believe that supporting a mother’s mental health in her postpartum period can make a fundamental difference in her motherhood journey, particularly if she is experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression, anxiety, or experienced birth trauma. Creating space to process your birth story is one of my passions (yes, even if it went exactly how you imagined!). I also work with moms who have grief over their breastfeeding journey. If breastfeeding is or was important to you and it hasn’t been what you imagined, it can be heartbreaking. This deserves attention and care. If any of this resonates with you, or you just don’t feel like yourself, I’m here to support you.
