“Allowing yourself to be attentive to your postpartum mental and/or emotional vulnerability is one of the most selfless and courageous acts that a mother can make for herself and her child(ren). Honoring the significantly impactful and profound changes that you and your body have experienced can have tremendously beneficial short and long term outcomes. Including, but not limited to, authentic relationship building with your newborn(s) and a more positive parenting experience.” – Ashley Shelley, LPC-MHSP
