Women deserve more.

Trying to conceive? Pregnant? Postpartum? Women experience a lot in their lifetime, particularly during their peak reproductive period. This period is characterized by drastic hormonal shifts and significant role changes. Transitions and uncertainty can take a toll on mental health, our goal is to support women getting back on their feet and feeling confident again.

Perinatal mental health refers to a woman’s mental health during pregnancy and in the first year postpartum which although often expected to be full of happiness is also one of the most delicate times in a woman’s life as she adjusts to new responsibilities, a change in routine, sleep deprivation, a loss of previous identity, and hormonal imbalances. Research shows that about 10-15% of women struggle with their mental health while pregnant and/or in the postpartum period. The most common psychiatric disorders that present in this period are anxiety, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder. Many struggle alone and without treatment. This can severely impact a woman’s ability to function as well as negatively impact her ability to bond with her baby. Getting help is important and a sign of strength.
