Mindful Moms Workshops 2026
Pregnancy Mental Health
What should I do?
A 90-minute workshop to help you stop second-guessing your mental health decisions in pregnancy and know what’s right for you and your baby.
- You’re not overthinking this.
- You’re trying to make the right decision.
- You’ve probably asked: “Will this harm my baby?”
- And the answers haven’t felt clear enough.
You want to stay healthy… but you’re scared that treatment, especially medication, might harm your baby.
You’ve heard different opinions from doctors, Google, friends.
And now you feel:
-
Stuck
-
 Guilty
-
Scared
-
Unsure what to do
It’s not that there isn’t information.
It’s that no one has shown you how to think about it.
Because in pregnancy:
- There is no such thing as “no risk”
- Every option has trade-offs
- The right decision depends on your specific situation
What you need is not more reassurance.
You need a way to make the decision clearly and confidently.

I didn’t need more information. I needed structure. I needed someone to show me how to THINK through it.

I found the content was expertly curated, highly informative & addressed the complexities of medication management during pregnancy and the postpartum. I especially appreciated the balance between evidence-based guidance and practical case examples which made the material both accessible and clinically relevant.
