Wellness? While growing a family? What does that look like? Where do we begin? Now more than ever support for expectant and postpartum families is critical. Perhaps you have braved mental health issues for a long time, and now pregnancy, your conception journey, postpartum & world events are sending your anxiety or depression into a tailspin-it's just too much! You are not alone. We work with clients on fertility journeys, through pregnancy and postpartum- helping you find yourself again as you enter parenthood- this stuff is hard! Let's talk!
Don't spend any more time feeling unwell. You deserve to feel happy with yourself, your relationships, and goals, whether they include motherhood plans, finding a work-life balance, or changing your relationships. We are confident you can harness your inner strength, overcome these difficult times, and find yourself again.
Our practice is devoted exclusively to perinatal wellness- our specialty therapists have flexible scheduling and don't mind if your little one joins you for care. E-mail today and tell us a bit about yourself, we can see if we're a good fit. We look forward to helping you find wellness & satisfaction in your changing role and in your relationships.
