Moms – Postpartum and Beyond
Are you feeling overwhelmed, insecure, and like you are white-knuckling it through your child’s toddler or elementary school years? Are you searching for relief, but unsure where to begin?
Ali provides skills, tools and support to help moms postpartum and beyond. Postpartum and maternal mental health counseling allows you to see yourself, your partner (if you have one), and your child from a fresh perspective; it also offers space for self-compassion, understanding, validation and growth. These new abilities can help strengthen your relationship with yourself and your family.
This does not have to be a lengthy journey. There are four simple things that Ali asks. Show up, be present, participate, and consider the benefits of tweaking some habits.
