Findings reveal new mothers experience maternal distress on various levels:  adaptation, functioning, and connecting. Not to mention that for some of us postpartum anxiety, depression, rage, and other significant struggles are no joke.  How do we manage to take care of everything including our own emotional life?  Are there any life hacks for new moms?

This group is designed by a mother of two and a licensed nature-informed mental health counselor to address the mental health needs of new mothers.  No need to leave the baby with a caregiver - babies from newborn to active crawler's stage are welcome to our group too!  Together we'll practice caring for an infant and ourselves simultaneously and explore which resources we have at our disposal that are efficient yet underrated.  We'll find out how to increase mental clarity and connection and get back on track using a holistic and nature-informed approach.

Studies support the beneficial effect of being in nature and Nature-based interventions for postnatal well-being, socially, mentally, and physically. Let's create a safe and non-judgmental space to share our experiences, challenges, and triumphs as new moms and practice well-being activities amidst nature's tranquility.
