Pregnancy and Postpartum Support
No one could have prepared you.
You just had a baby, and it's a lot harder than you expected, and you want someone in your corner while you figure it out.
That's enough of a reason to be here.
You spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on prenatal appointments, birth groups, books, and none of it quite covered what happens after you're home. Your partner is doing their best and still doesn't quite know what to do. There's no village showing up the way you pictured. You're figuring most of this out in real time, alone, sleep-deprived with leaky boobs.
We get it.
This isn't advice. You don't need someone telling you what to do. You're probably getting plenty of that already, from your pediatrician, your mother, every app on your phone. What you get here is experience: a therapist who's sat with hundreds of people in exactly this season, who can bring that knowledge to bear on what's actually happening for you, without telling you how to parent. Someone who can help you tap into what you know intuitively as your baby’s parent, the one who knows them best.
This is the place to be heard. If you're in a parent group and it's mostly been a comfort, we'll talk about that. If it's also become a source of comparison and dread, we'll talk about that too: both things can be true.
If you've lost your own mother, or never had one to lean on, this season can bring that back up in ways that catch you off guard, right when you need support the most. There's room for that grief here, whether or not it's the reason you reached out.
Some weeks we'll talk through the return-to-work transition, or the version of it that's already happening. Other weeks it might be your body, your partner, your friends, your exhaustion, whatever you need. You don't need an agenda or a diagnosis to get extra support.
● Comparing your baby, your body, your energy to everyone else in your parent group, and secretly wondering what's wrong with you
● Dreading the return to work, or already back and barely holding the juggling act together
● A body that leaks, aches, or just doesn't feel like yours, alongside pressure to look "back to normal"
● Sleep deprivation that doesn't let up, whether you're back at work or home all day
● The sheer relentlessness of it: there's no clocking out, no weekends, no real break
● Expecting your mom, mother-in-law, or someone to swoop in and help, and somehow you're still the one making dinner
You might recognize some of this:
You're not trying to become a different kind of parent. You're trying to feel less run ragged, and more like yourself, while you do this. After working with us, clients say the constant hum of comparison quiets down. They stop measuring their week against someone else's highlight reel. They find a version of "enough" that actually feels like enough, instead of a moving target they can never hit.
Mostly, this is about getting back to enjoying your baby and your life. Not performing wellness or white-knuckling each day, but actually being present for some of it. Wanting support during one of the hardest transitions of your life doesn't require anything being wrong with you.
