Booking a first session can feel like a big step, especially when you’re already running on empty. So here’s exactly what to expect — no surprises.
Before we start
There’s nothing you need to prepare. You don’t have to arrive with a tidy explanation of how you’re feeling, or the right words for it. "I just know something isn’t right" is a completely valid place to begin.
You’re welcome to bring your baby. Feeding, settling, the occasional cry — all completely fine.
In the room
The first session is gentle and unhurried. We’ll talk about what’s been happening, what feels hardest right now, and what you’re hoping might be different. I’ll ask some questions, but you’re always in charge of how much you share — you never have to go anywhere you’re not ready to go.
Towards the end, we’ll talk about how we might work together, how often, and what would actually help. There’s no pressure to commit to anything on the spot.
Afterwards
Many mothers say the biggest surprise is relief — the relief of finally saying it all out loud to someone who isn’t shocked, who doesn’t judge, and who genuinely understands this particular season of life.
Still unsure? A free consult call is an even smaller first step — a relaxed chat to see if we’re the right fit.
