I'm over the moon to welcome you to this vibrant corner of the internet—a space filled with warmth, wisdom, and a sprinkle of wonder. I'm Aleks, a proud mum and a CBT therapist, and I'm launching this beautiful haven to accompany you on your extraordinary journey through motherhood.
Why this and why now?
This venture was born from a deep well of passion—to stand side by side with incredible women in the perinatal period, weaving a tapestry of support for their mental health. My inspiration? The hundreds of amazing women I've had the privilege to work with, guiding them through struggles with mental health, bonding, adjusting to motherhood, and preparing for birth.
And here's a bit of my personal manifesto—I've danced with postnatal depression and anxiety after welcoming my first son. In sharing this vulnerability, my hope is to create a space that resonates, comforts, and inspires.
What Can You Expect?
I get it. The journey can be tough, lonely, and downright exhausting. I've been there. I've felt the weight of depression and anxiety. But here's the thing—I know it can pass, and I want more for you than just getting by. I want you to reclaim your life and relish every moment, whether you're on the pregnancy path or navigating the baby days. That's why I'm offering this space with evidence-based resources rooted in therapies like CBT, CFT, and ACT.
It's not just a newsletter; it's the beginning of a community—a gathering of amazing mothers finding value and support in shared experiences.
What to Expect:
Frequency: Every Wednesday, a freshly baked newsletter delivered straight to your virtual doorstep.
Content: Dive into insights about common mental health challenges during the perinatal period, actionable tips to conquer them, and a myth-busting corner for a dose of clarity.
Community: This space will thrive with your engagement and questions. Together, let's build something robust and beautiful, with future plans for podcasts and videos.
So, strap in Wonder Woman, the adventure begins now! Subscribe, engage, and let's create a community that's as extraordinary as you are. 🚀💖 #MotherhoodMagic #SubscribeAndThrive #WonderWomanVibes
