Most parents prepare for birth, but few prepare for what comes after. Postpartum can be an isolating, transformative season that reshapes identity, relationships, and daily life. As a postpartum therapist in Denver, I explore why preparing for this transition matters, what modern motherhood really looks like, and how building community and awareness before baby arrives can make all the difference.

When I became a first-time mom in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt untethered, isolated, and overwhelmed. It wasn’t until I began slowing down—returning to art, presence, and in-person community—that I found my way home to myself. For me, slowing down became a sacred practice: a way to reconnect mind, body, and spirit. As an art therapist in Denver, I’ve seen how this practice can open space for healing, creativity, and deeper connection.
