At least 1 in 5 moms struggle with a perinatal/postpartum mood disorder
​
Birth & Beyond is a collaborative perinatal support program designed for expecting mothers who want to feel prepared, informed, and supported, before birth and into the postpartum period.
Postpartum mental health begins during pregnancy. This program was created to help mothers prepare emotionally, mentally, and physically for birth and the transition into postpartum, reducing the risk of overwhelm, anxiety, and mood disorders before they begin.
What is Birth & Beyond?
Support before you need it
Free Consultation
A complimentary consultation to discuss your pregnancy, birth goals, postpartum concerns, and expectations for support.
​
Prenatal Planning Session
A one-time prenatal intake session focused on:
-
Emotional and mental preparation for birth and postpartum
-
Birth planning and partner preparation/resources
-
Postpartum mental health goals
-
Education on informed consent and advocacy
-
Nutrition guidance to support mood, recovery, and energy postpartum
You’ll leave with a personalized plan designed to support your nervous system, emotional well-being, and mental health during this transition.
​
Personalized Resources & Written Summary
You’ll receive a written summary and tailored resources from your sessions for easy reference during birth and postpartum.
​
Postpartum Check-In (On or After Your Due Date)
Support shouldn’t stop once the plan is made.
You’ll receive a follow-up check-in session on or shortly after your due date to:
-
Assess emotional well-being and early postpartum adjustment
-
Identify signs of anxiety, depression, or overwhelm
-
Troubleshoot challenges related to sleep, feeding, support, and recovery
-
Adjust postpartum goals and coping strategies as needed
This check-in helps ensure concerns are addressed early, before they escalate.
​​​
Priority Access to Therapy
Birth & Beyond participants receive priority scheduling for ongoing therapy, allowing you to begin postpartum support sooner without repeating intake steps.
Postpartum Prep Starts in Pregnancy
​
At least 1 in 5 mothers experience a postpartum mood or anxiety disorder, yet many women enter postpartum without a plan, education, or established mental health support.
Preparing during pregnancy allows you to:
-
Identify emotional and mental health risk factors early
-
Create realistic postpartum goals and expectations
-
Feel more confident advocating for yourself during birth and recovery
-
Understand informed consent and decision-making
-
Build support before exhaustion and overwhelm set in
-
Decrease birth trauma and increase confidence in the fourth trimester
