Prenatal Counseling & Postpartum Support

Prenatal Counseling & Postpartum Support

​The transition to motherhood is one of the most significant life changes that can happen to you in this life. Yet our culture has no rituals to honor this transition. It is more than understandable that your mind, body and spirit is having difficulty adjusting. Many women do not have support in this incredibly important transition into motherhood.

Often our experience of having a baby is not what we expected. These difficulties are ignored in our society. Transitioning to life with a newborn can often feel overwhelming to manage. More than a quarter of new mothers experience mood and emotional changes beyond the normal adjustment period. When you start having significant depression or anxiety in the postpartum period, you may be experiencing Postpartum Depression or Postpartum Anxiety.

Do any of these symptoms of Postpartum Depression or Postpartum Anxiety describe you?​

  • Intense anxiety about being a mother

  • Irritable mood, with even small things getting on your nerves

  • Self-doubt about how you are caring for your baby

  • Lack of enjoyment in things that you used to enjoy

  • Feeling inadequate and helpless

  • Feeling depressed despite thinking you should be overjoyed

  • Feeling like you are a failure and why can’t you figure this out

  • Difficulty concentrating or focusing

  • Difficulty sleeping, even when your baby sleeps

  • No energy to do anything

  • Feelings of hopelessness, like things will never change
