holistic therapy for mothers
Let’s be honest: Traditional talk therapy falls short of addressing the complex needs of mothers of color.
Did you know? Mothers of color often experience higher rates of postpartum complications, anxiety, and depression, and women of color experience higher levels of poor health outcomes... yep. So talk therapy alone is not enough!
No amount of talk therapy is going to fix the habits you keep letting slide, like not getting enough sleep, not eating well, not moving your body, and certainly not coping with stress effectively.
I go beyond talk therapy by providing holistic therapy to address the mind, body, and spirit – the entire you – to address the unique health disparities you may be at risk for.
The result? Feeling empowered to take the right next step so you can thrive in your wellness and self-care.

and I can help you figure this out
Your unique plan might include recommendations for complementary practices like mindfulness meditation, yoga, or acupuncture to further support your motherhood journey.
Your holistic plan will prioritize what I call the "First Five" core pillars of well-being:
- Nutrition
- Sleep + Rest
- Body Movement
- Stress Management
- Self-Care Principles
By focusing on these foundational elements, we build a strong foundation for your physical and mental health, empowering you to thrive with real, practical strategies, not like that monthly mani + pedi you keep calling "self-care".
Manis + pedis aren’t cutting it anymore. Your self-care practices as a new mom need to go a level deeper.
Here's what I can help you with:
Reclaiming your personal time by finding ways to carve out regular time for yourself that allows you to rest, relax, and recharge.
Regaining physical energy and vitality through adequate and effective habits and practices that promote better sleep, better nourishment, supportive body movement practices, and better overall health.
Letting go of the guilt associated with taking time for yourself and understanding the importance of not just self-care, but caring for yourself as a woman and a mother.
Tweaking your self-care practices to align with the season of your motherhood and womanhood you are in so you can be successful in implementation.
Implementing effective strategies to reduce and manage stress, as well as self-regulation and cultivate a sense of calm in your daily life.
Rediscovering and nurturing activities and hobbies that bring you joy and fulfillment. You need a margin for you to just be you, and enjoy being you with the things you love.
how we do it
Assess
First, we’ll meet for an initial 60-minute initial session to assess your beginning state. During this session we'll go over your assessments and questionnaires, my practice forms, any current labs, talk about your concerns, and discuss next steps.
Review
Next, we’ll go over your struggles, lifestyle, daily schedule, relationships, your matrescence and postpartum experiences so far, important life experiences that impact you today, and everything necessary to get a clear picture of what your life is like.
Plan
Then, we’ll develop a completely personalized short-term plan based on your current experiences for the first 6 months of our work together, and outline long-term goals to work towards together beyond the first 6 months. The ultimate goal is to get you feeling better immediately.
