The best feeling ever. When you start to see that progress of boundaries being set, emotions being felt and acknowledged, symptoms becoming less frequent, the feeling of pride is unmatched. Keep getting back up 💪

Sitting with so many parents postpartum has taught me how much proactive conversations can be beneficial to the postpartum experience. This intensive was designed with that in mind.

This curated accelerated therapy work allows couples to bring intention to the postpartum experience and parenting by exploring their expectations and belief systems prior to the messiness of sleepless nights.

Ideal for:
🧑‍❤️‍🧑 the couple who wants to strengthen their communication and connection prior to labor and delivery

🧑‍❤️‍🧑 the couple who wants to feel prepared for potential postpartum complications, like depression or anxiety

🧑‍❤️‍🧑 the couple who wants to understand the imbalance most couples face regarding physical and mental load in parenthood, and who want to break that cycle

🧑‍❤️‍🧑 the couple who understands that parenting doesn’t just come naturally with immediate alignment between both parents-couples who want to explore their own attachment, values, and parenting style.

You can hold joy and uncertainty in the same breath.

It’s okay to feel grateful and afraid at the same time.

Pregnancy after loss can awaken both joy and fear — both belong. Let them coexist without judgment. You are allowed to celebrate while still protecting your heart. Courage often looks like staying open even when you’re scared. 🤍

Hi 👋 I’m Shelby. It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself on here and there have been some new followers…

I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Lincoln, RI. I’m certified in EMDR and perinatal mental health and primarily work with moms who are navigating their fertility, pregnancy or motherhood journey postpartum.

8 years ago after a loss and then subsequently struggling with my own postpartum mental health, I turned my struggle into education and immersed myself in learning as much as I could about women’s mental health.

I have 3 kids 👦🏻👦🏼👧🏼 and an amazing husband ❤️ They are the inspiration for my work.

I’m fiercely protective of my self care so in my free time you’ll find me crocheting, baking (in my sourdough era) , going for walks, and listening to any podcast about comedy/stand-up (because little known fact, I used to be in an improv group-ask me about how improv can transform your parenting….)

I love helping parents who are trying to figure out balance in their lives, heal from trauma, break generational cycles, and want to heal their inner child.

You are allowed to hope and grieve at the same time.

Trying to conceive can bring waves of emotion — hope, grief, joy, and uncertainty.

It’s okay to hold space for all of it. There is no single way to feel, no timeline for processing. Each step you take, each breath you manage, is part of your strength.

Be gentle with yourself as you move through this season — you are allowed to honor both hope and heartache. 🤍
