Postpartum Mental Health Education Session for Expecting Couples
Learn what’s normal, what’s not, and how to build a plan for support before baby arrives
You’ve probably spent time preparing for labor, feeding, sleep, and baby gear.
But many parents enter the postpartum period without understanding the emotional and mental health changes that can happen after baby arrives.
This one-hour psychoeducation and coaching session is designed to help you feel informed, supported, and more emotionally prepared for the transition into parenthood.
Whether you’re pregnant after infertility or loss, managing anxiety or depression, or simply wanting proactive support, this session offers practical tools, education, and space to ask the questions that often go unspoken.

WHAT ARE PMADs?
Understanding Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders
PMADs (Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders) include more than just postpartum depression.
They can include:
- Postpartum anxiety
- OCD
- Panic
- Depression
- Birth trauma responses
- Rage and irritability
- Intrusive thoughts
- Adjustment difficulties
Many parents experience symptoms without realizing what they’re going through — especially those already navigating stress, infertility, loss, perfectionism, or preexisting mental health concerns.
The good news: education, awareness, and early support can make a significant difference.
Price: $150
