PERINATAL/MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying “I will try again tomorrow.” 

-Mary Anne Radmacher

Just because you’re struggling, does not mean you’re failing.

Are you a new or experienced mom who feels like something is just not quite right?

Has starting a family been difficult and/or different than you imagined it would be?

Has your new role left you feeling overwhelmed?

Do you sometimes regret becoming a parent?

Do you just need support while you figure it out?

Trust your instincts!

Transitioning into motherhood and maternal development can be filled with joy and excitement but also stress, frustration, fear and heartbreak.
