Our Postpartum Village

Expect individualized care when working with me.

I want to know your values so I can help support you in a way that puts your values first.

Postpartum Planning and in-home postpartum support are not one size fits all.

Struggling with mental health doesn't mean there is something wrong with you; it means you are human.

I am in several mom groups on Facebook. I've seen this multiple times in these groups- parents who describe their mental health struggles looking for some type of help.

Usually, there are other moms commenting diagnosing them and other saying there is nothing wrong with them; this is how it is.

There is an in-between:

Struggling with your mental health doesn't mean there is something wrong with you. You may or may not have a diagnosis, but either way, if you are struggling with your mental health, you deserve support.

The kind of support needed varies on an individual basis. Individualized care is always important! 🧡

What I find to be most helpful for these parents, especially that I am not working with and don't know the full story, is giving them a few different kind of resources that could help: Support groups, mom groups, therapists that are trained in whatever they posted about, and maybe someone who does medication management.

I may also post a little about how a postpartum doula and other in-home postpartum support can help.

That way, they know there are a variety of ways to reach out for help, and they can decide where they start.

For over a decade, I have held space for families and individuals going through some of the toughest times in their lives.

This is what I do.

I am skilled at holding space, being supportive, and helping you find the support you need.

I know that it takes more than just me to support you. I am just there for a short time, so it is important to me that I connect you with continued support; whether that's other professionals, support groups, parenting groups, or even back to support you already have in your life. I can support you in asking for the support you need.
