Welcoming a new baby into the world is a life-changing experience.

Categories of Postpartum Support

Postpartum healing should never be delivered as a one-size-fits-all solution. My holistic postpartum support encompasses various aspects of a mother's journey, including:

  • Postpartum Adjustment: Addressing identity changes, relationship dynamics, setting boundaries, enhancing communication, and facilitating a smooth return to work.

  • Postpartum Anxiety: Managing excessive worry, intrusive thoughts, and fears related to motherhood.

  • Postpartum PTSD: Healing from traumatic childbirth experiences and associated distress.

Postpartum Adjustment

The transition into motherhood often involves redefining one's identity and adapting to new roles and responsibilities. The journey may bring about feelings of loss and confusion, joy, and connection, creating challenges such as:

  • Identity Change: Shifting from individual identity to embracing the role of a mother can be both rewarding and overwhelming. Therapy provides a space to explore and integrate these changes, helping you maintain a sense of self while adapting to new roles.

  • Relationship Dynamics: The arrival of a baby can alter relationships with partners, family, and friends. I can help you navigate these changes, fostering understanding, and strengthening bonds.

  • Setting Boundaries: Establishing healthy boundaries is crucial in managing the influx of advice and expectations from others. Mindfulness therapy can empower you to assert your needs and preferences confidently.

  • Enhancing Communication: Effective communication with loved ones ensures that your feelings and needs are understood and respected. Therapy can enhance these skills, promoting harmony within the household.

  • Returning to Work: Balancing professional responsibilities with motherhood can be challenging. Therapy offers strategies to manage this transition smoothly, addressing concerns such as separation anxiety and work-life balance.

Postpartum PTSD

If your birth experience was traumatic for any reason, you may be carrying emotional wounds that are hard to name. Experiencing trauma during childbirth can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), symptoms of which can include:

  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories of the birth

  • Avoidance of reminders related to the childbirth experience

  • Heightened reactivity, irritability, or difficulty sleeping

You deserve to be able to process these experiences with gentleness. Therapy offers validation, tools for healing, and a steady presence as you and I can work together to reclaim your sense of safety and wholeness.
