Mental

Healing

Having a baby is no easy task and the mental struggles can feel foreign. Mental and emotional struggles are a natural part of bringing a new baby home between the physical healing, emotional healing from the labor and then trying to function with the lack of sleep and whatever curve ball your little one throws at you. There are many ways to help you get through the mental struggles whether you have physically had the baby or not. 

Postpartum Depression/Anxiety 
Support Groups
Postpartum depression and anxiety is under reported due to the mental health stigma in our society. However, 1 in 7 women experience postpartum depression and anxiety after the baby is born. You don't have to suffer alone. These groups can be apart of your support system to help you during this tough time.​​
Birth Story Processing
It is common for a lot of women to go into birth with hopes of how their birth will go, but sometimes women may come out of their labor feeling traumatized and don't know how to process their feelings. This is a normal reaction after a hard labor and working through those feelings will not only help you, but help your relationships around you.  â€‹â€‹
