This is not how you imagined your maternity leave. Instead of feeling happy like you’re supposed to, you are anxious and always on the verge of tears. There’s a constant nagging feeling like you’re not good enough for your baby. And let’s not talk about the exhaustion. It scares you to hold your baby, but at the same time you can’t let go. So, you end up holding her during nap times…and never find the time to attend to our own needs. When you look in the mirror, it’s like you are looking at a stranger. It is no longer a matter of doing your best, it’s about surviving this season of life. Or is this how it will be forever?

With the right support, this season can feel more joyful. There’s a way you can enjoy your baby and find time for yourself. And maybe even rekindle your relationship with your partner. Together, will work towards creating an inner voice that’s more compassionate, realistic, and encouraging. And build a village around you and your baby.

Let me help you create the maternity leave you wanted, despite the rocky start. Working with me is easier than ever before with evening appointments and the ability to have a video session from the comfort of your home. Visit my website to schedule a free 20-minute consultation and learn more about how I can help.
