Pregnancy, birth, and parenthood are often considered to be some of life’s most exciting and meaningful milestones. But they can also be difficult, push you to your limit, and challenge every part of your body and mind. They not only change your body, but also your life, relationships, and priorities. Many people don’t anticipate the feelings of grief, overwhelm, anger, and sadness that come with this new stage in life. What is more, many people don’t always enjoy those first few months with a new baby, where everything is new and overwhelming, and you’re teetering on the brink of utter exhaustion.

If you’re looking for support in navigating this new phase of life, I’m here for you.

You’re not alone in any of this.

If you’re trying to conceive or thinking of conceiving, you might be feeling anxious or scared about possible changes to your body, your life, and what your journey to becoming a parent will look like.

If you’ve suffered a pregnancy loss, you might be dealing with grief, questions about trying to conceive again, and how to navigate conversations with those around you.

If you’re currently pregnant, you might be navigating changes to your body, anxiety around giving birth, worries about how your relationship with your partner or friends will change, and overwhelming physical symptoms.

If you’ve just given birth, you might be juggling your own recovery, hormonal changes, exhaustion, and learning how to be a parent. You might not be enjoying the newborn phase as much as others seem to be, or you might be missing your old life. You might wonder if you’re doing something wrong because it seems harder than it is for others.

If you’re a new parent, you might be dealing with postpartum rage, months of sleep deprivation, a changing relationship with your partner, managing a return to work, and trying to find time for yourself. You might feel isolated because you’re stuck at home with a fussy baby or because you don’t have any friends who are at the same stage of life.
