Caregivers give so much - to their babies, partners, families, and communities - but too often at the expense of their own well-being.

Taking Care of the Caregiver by Dr. Madison Randolph, PsyD, PMH-C explores why self-care isn’t selfish, how burnout shows up, and simple ways caregivers can begin refilling their cup.

You deserve care, too.

Research supports our S.E.L.F. model: Rest, (Sleep), movement (Exercise), nourishment (Food), and restorative pleasure (Laughter/leisure) all play a critical role in postpartum brain health and emotional well-being.

💜Better sleep is tied to lower postpartum depression/anxiety

💜Postpartum exercise is linked with fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms.

💜Adherence to a brain-healthy eating pattern is associated with lower odds of postpartum depressive symptoms

🌿 You don’t have to navigate postpartum alone. 🌿

Becoming a mother can be beautiful and overwhelming—and your mental health matters just as much as your baby’s care. Our Postpartum Mental Health Therapy Group is a 6-week bi-weekly closed therapeutic support group, meaning the same group of women meets together every other week to build safety, trust, and meaningful connection.

This therapist-led group is designed to provide education, emotional support, and practical coping skills for women navigating the postpartum period—while honoring your identity beyond motherhood.

✨ In this group, you will:
• Learn about postpartum mental health (baby blues, PPD, PPA, and more) in a nonjudgmental, stigma-free space
• Develop practical tools to manage overwhelm, anxiety, guilt, and intense emotions
• Improve communication and boundary-setting with partners, family, and support people
• Reconnect with your sense of self outside of being a mother
• Create a personalized plan for ongoing emotional wellness
• Build community with other postpartum women who truly get it

Each session includes mindful check-ins, psychoeducation, guided reflection, and open conversation—so you leave feeling more grounded, supported, and confident moving forward.

💛 Investment:
• $30 per session
• $150 when paid in full for all 6 sessions

💛 This group may be a good fit if you’re feeling: overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, disconnected from yourself, or simply wanting more support during postpartum and in motherhood.

It’s the managing schedules, the meal planning, and the laundry for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you find yourself craving a break from the mental load of motherhood, you’re not alone.

It’s a lot and it’s exhausting. Don’t shy away from asking for help. You deserve the support you offer to everyone else! 🫶🏻

Hey, mama 👋

Are you noticing a general sense of feeling “out of control” and irritability? A struggle to slow down or let others help? An urge to check, double check, and triple check your baby’s breathing? If so, you may be experiencing postpartum anxiety, and you don’t have to face it alone!

1 in 5 women will experience symptoms associated to postpartum anxiety. This is not uncommon and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. I can remember feeling so alone and horrified by my own thoughts. I was ashamed and felt like an awful mom… but the truth is, it was my brain and bodies way of adjusting to motherhood and the new love I had for my child.

You will get through this, and you are a good mom 🤍
