Postpartum

Each pregnancy and birth bring different but significant change, stress, and worry to life whether it was planned or unplanned.

Women's Issues

Women experience unique factors that influence mental well being, ranging from hormonal fluctuations to societal expectations. This can trigger anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or body image concerns. The intensity and duration can drastically impact daily functioning and quality of life for some women.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a natural defense mechanism against stress and external threats. Biologically, anxiety is intended to heighten our alertness, preparing us for potential threats in our lives. Anxiety acts as a warning sign, indicating there is a perceived threat that demands our attention. However, when anxiety becomes a regular occurrence without a genuine threat, it can detrimentally impact our physical health, mood, emotional well-being, and relationships.
