Perinatal loss is an insurmountable grief requiring delicate care and treatment specific for perinatal period. Regular grief and trauma treatment will fail if not taking under consideration the valuable perinatal space and time period. We provide grief treatment for all birth persons and family.

We also support you in difficult decisions within your pregnancy including whether to continue with pregnancy.

Perinatal anxiety and Perinatal OCD consists of intrusive and scary thoughts following an overwhelming anxiety. We can help you overcome the scary thoughts and come to a sense of peace.

We support all birth persons regardless of gender identity and sexuality. Your needs are seen.

We are here to support during these transitions and adjustments!
In our work, you will learn valuable mindfulness, distress tolerance, and meditation tools which can assist during pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, child birth and beyond.
