Be regulated and ready for life with a newborn!
THERAPY + ONLINE COURSE for the pregnant mom who feels nervous and wants an easy postpartum.
Better Sleep
Deeper Bonding
More Regulation
Your baby won't come with a manual. It's all on-the-job training; the stakes are high, and the learning curve is steep. You ought to have everything you need so that you and your partner can handle it.
If your postpartum goals are to:
➤ Have a smooth transition without a breakdown
➤ Avoid overstimulation and miscommunications
➤ Be able to focus on healing and bonding (and not worry about anything else)
Prevent a new-mom meltdown!
Don't wait, give yourself and your baby the best start possible.
Knowledge is Power
Pregnant women often worry if their partners are as ready as they are. Get on the same page because your partner is probably thinking about this less than you are.
Sleep is Sacred
No sugarcoating here – sleepless nights are coming your way. It's part of the deal. So, let's make a game plan to protect those precious ZZZs, for you and your partner.
Be the MOM
Your mother-in-law's unsolicited advice? Yeah, you can handle that. Impress her with your confidence, set boundaries and shut down unsolicited advice.
I would be a millionaire if I had a dollar for every time I heard, "the nursery is ready; the baby can come any day now..."
Mental health is the #1 complication of pregnancy and childbirth. 1 in 5 birthing people experience a level of anxiety that requires attention and support. Yet, you can't add "mental health" to your registry; that's where I come in.
I'm Kayla, a therapist for moms. You deserve to feel regulated and ready for life with your newborn. Even if you've spent a ton of time and money trying to get ready, you might still feel like it's not enough.
It's not that you're not trying hard enough to feel prepared. Instead of buying more baby items to feel ready, you might need to prioritize your mental health and emotions so that...
➤ Your partner knows exactly how to support you (and when to take out the garbage).
➤ Family members know when they are allowed to visit.
➤ You don't have to think about other people's needs; focus on your recovery.
➤ You know what to do when you or your partner gets overwhelmed or overstimulated (despite being tired AF).
Decorating the nursery is fun; preparing your heart is essential.

“With Kayla’s support I was able to foster peace of mind and communicate that my partner needed to step up”
“Its not just making sure we have all the stuff, it’s also freezer prepping meals, cleaning the house, knowing what postpartum will be like, preparing physically for labour, preparing mentally for labour, etc. It’s a lot, and no one prepares you for that part. With Kayla’s support I was able to foster peace of mind and communicate that my partner needed to step up.”

Emotional regulation starts here
It is proven that when mom is regulated, she has less guilt and more capacity and resilience in tough moments. When regulated, she doesn't silently seethe; her mind is calmer, and she knows who she is and what she needs.
