MINDFUL MATERNAL HEALTH

Meeting of the Minds

The Mindful Maternal Health Professional Masterclass Series

An exclusive series for psychiatrists shaping the future of women’s mental health.

You know that moment when a perinatal case lands in your inbox, complex history, pregnancy or postpartum, medication questions layered with family dynamics, risk, culture and that quiet weight of responsibility... and you pause.

Not because you don’t know the literature.
Not because you're uncertain about the principles.
But because this isn’t a textbook case, it never is.

We’ve all been there:
We scroll the guidelines, cross-reference studies, call trusted colleagues and still feel that familiar pull
the recognition that in perinatal psychiatry, knowledge is necessary, but insufficient.

True confidence lives in the spaces where evidence and experience meet.


Where judgment is honed, not assumed.
Where we can say, “Here’s what I’ve seen,” not just “Here’s what the data says.”

That kind of clinical wisdom isn’t learned in isolation and it isn’t readily shared in our field.

So I created Meeting of the Minds:
a high-level, peer-to-peer masterclass for psychiatrists who live and breathe perinatal care,
not to teach what you already know, but to sharpen, challenge and refine how we practice, together.

This is where we examine the cases that keep us thinking long after the door closes.
Where research meets reality.
Where uncertainty becomes a shared threshold rather than a solitary burden.

A small cohort.
A collaborative space.
A place for collective clinical intelligence because no one clinician holds the whole map.

 

Only 15 seats for 2026.

Because meaningful dialogue needs room to breathe.

Welcome to the table.

Let’s think deeply, together.

JOIN NOW

A private invitation to those who lead, question and reimagine.

You’ve been selected to join a small circle of psychiatrists committed to advancing the conversation around perinatal mental health, not just in clinical practice, but in how we think about women’s health, risk and recovery.

This Masterclass isn’t another lecture series.

It’s a meeting of minds, where clinical precision meets reflective practice and where your expertise contributes to a collective body of insight that will shape the next phase of the Mindful Maternal Health Program.

Why this Masterclass?

Because perinatal psychiatry is evolving.
And those who stay curious, collaborative, and intellectually agile will define the field.

In this invitation-only series, you’ll:

  • Engage in advanced case-based discussions grounded in evidence and lived experience.
  • Examine complex risk–benefit decision-making through a fresh, integrated lens.
  • Revisit meaning and uncertainty in medicine - the cognitive spaces we too often rush past.
  • Collaborate with peers who share your commitment to rigour, reflection and relevance.

What my clients have to say!


”

The workshop was extremely beneficial and has improved my prescribing knowledge and inspired me to do more reading on maternal mental health topics and women's mental health in general.

This has been a topic I’ve been longing for in a workshop as it’s a special interest area of mine, and providing evidence-based treatment in this part of a woman’s life is so important and so poorly understood by most doctors.

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. I feel more confident in supporting my patients and families during this critical time.

Led by Dr. Elsa du Toit

25 years in medicine

15 years focused on perinatal psychiatry

 

Dr. du Toit brings a unique combination of deep clinical expertise and holistic thinking about maternal and family health.

But what really sets this masterclass apart is the focus on how decisions get made in complex clinical systems, not just what the guidelines say, but how to navigate the human, organisational and ethical realities that make perinatal care so challenging.

This is high-level clinical mastery for practitioners who are ready to lead, consult, and make confident decisions in the most complex situations.
