Mindful Moms Coaching

3 Month Coaching for Moms

There is no health without mental health and during pregnancy, that truth becomes non-negotiable.

Maternal outcomes are shaped not only by biology, but by the clinical decisions, risk–benefit assessments and guidance we provide during pregnancy.

Perinatal clinicians work within a landscape of conflicting evidence, evolving guidelines, ethical complexity and high emotional and clinical stakes.

When mental health is delayed, minimised or avoided, both maternal and infant outcomes are affected.

If you feel uncertain about how to navigate this complexity and support sustained maternal wellbeing including mental health, the Mindful Maternal Healthcare Program is designed to help you move from overwhelm to structured, confident clinical decision-making.

Mindful Moms Coaching

3-month weekly coaching
(Includes the full Foundations program)

Small groups. Direct guidance. Structured thinking. This is not passive learning. It is supported application.

Designed for women planning pregnancy, currently pregnant or postpartum, especially those living with a mental health condition.

Session 1: Integrating ARC - your questions, Your Context

Bring your questions. Bring what felt confusing. Bring what felt overwhelming.

We will:

  • Apply the ARC framework to your personal situation

  • Reflect on your own risk and resilience factors

  • Clarify what feels unclear

  • Strengthen your ability to make grounded decisions

Session 2: Mood & Anxiety in Pregnancy & Postpartum

When are emotions expected — and when are they a sign you need support?

We’ll explore:

  • The spectrum from normal adjustment to clinical illness

  • Depression, anxiety, and related symptoms in pregnancy and after birth

  • How to recognise early warning signs

  • How to reduce fear while staying appropriately vigilant

The goal is clarity, not alarm.

Session 3: Antidepressants in Pregnancy — What Does the Evidence Actually Say?

Fear often comes from fragmented information.

In this session, we will:

  • Review what we know (and don’t know) about antidepressants in pregnancy

  • Understand how to interpret risk data

  • Discuss common misconceptions

  • Learn how to approach medication decisions with structure rather than panic

You will leave with a more grounded understanding of how risk–benefit decisions are made.

Session 4: Protecting Your Mental Health — Prevention in Practice

Mental health care is not only about treatment. It is also about prevention.

We will focus on:

  • Strengthening protective factors

  • Preserving stability if you live with an existing diagnosis

  • Practical strategies to reduce relapse risk

  • Building a sustainable plan for pregnancy and postpartum

This session helps you move from reactive decision-making to proactive care.

”

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.
