Postpartum Support Call
This sensitive and transitional time can be tough. I wont sugar coat it or tell you to “sleep when the baby sleeps” or ask you 100 questions about the baby.
I am here to listen to YOU. I want to hear how YOU are doing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Support from family and friends is beautiful however, sometimes the wrong support can feel even more isolating. Having non-judgments unbiased ear can make all the difference.
