Attempts at conception (natural and assisted), pregnancy, birth, and postpartum adjustment present unique emotional and physical challenges, as well as rich opportunities for self-discovery. For some the perinatal period is one of empowered embodiment, but for others — particular individuals with a history of anxiety, depression, or body-image injury — it can be a time of great vulnerability. We support people who are navigating infertility, miscarriage, abortion, birth trauma, and the various complexities surrounding the transition into parenthood.

We also support those navigating the perimenopausal period — life’s second “puberty” — fairly deserving of a truly body-positive embrace. We hold additional space for individuals navigating these issues while struggling to accept the very real body changes these times may bring.
