Pregnancy

You have a tiny human growing inside you and its bringing up more emotions than you could ever imagine. Perhaps you feel underprepared, and overwhelmed on what is to come. Or, being pregnant has brought up childhood experiences that are unresolved and making you question if you are ready for this. 

We often hear about mental health postpartum, but rarely during pregnancy. Maybe it is because we are conditioned to believe that pregnancy is supposed to be a beautiful experience that every woman should cherish? Or, maybe it is because women do not want to admit that this sh*t is hard. Well, I am here to tell you that whatever the reason, you are not alone! You deserve to be heard and supported during this time. 

Ideally, clients will come to me during pregnancy so we can work out these concerns in a safe, nonjudgmental, environment and get them mentally and emotionally ready for delivery and postpartum. In addition to nurturing within, I also help my clients create a postpartum plan so clients feel prepared on how to support themselves and their newborn after delivery.

Mental health during pregnancy is something that needs greater awareness. If you or someone you know feels off during their pregnancy, is having a difficult experience overall, or just doesn’t feel like themselves, please do not hesitate to reach out.
