Postpartum Support

Mary Joan became a mother and discovered that no matter how prepared we are for a life event, it can sometimes challenge us in ways we never expected. Motherhood is one of those experiences. Mary Joan has developed a passion for working with new mothers and their families to guide them through the changes and adjustments that come with a new baby. Too often we focus only on the joy and happiness we expect this experience to bring, and when it brings confusion, sadness and difficulty coping, we are often at a complete loss. Mary Joan, with expert training in working with the emotions of pregnancy and postpartum, helps women find their way to feeling better about themselves as mothers, partners and women.
