As a new or expecting parent you will experience many emotions, stressors, and life changes as you prepare for your new journey as a parent. Along the way you may experience a range of emotions from excitement and happiness to fear and anxiety in pregnancy, parenting, relationship shifts, finances, and more.

Our society tells us that this will be the happiest time of our lives, but what happens when it's not? 

Many women experience complications during these early years. Infertility, difficult pregnancy, infant loss and grief, medical challenges, birth trauma and postpartum struggles are common during the childbearing years. 

The truth is that 50-80% of women experience these and YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
