Are you growing your family or have you recently welcomed a baby? Hi, I'm Sarah, and I'm glad you're here!
Becoming a parent can be exciting, but it also brings changes that aren't always easy to anticipate. You may have questions about sharing responsibilities, adjusting to new roles, or staying connected with your partner.
I offer a one-hour virtual prenatal and postpartum education consultation for expectant and new parents throughout Massachusetts.
Whether you're preparing for your baby's arrival or finding your way through early parenthood, I'm here to help you explore what matters to your family.
What We Can Explore in a One-Hour Consultation
Every family's experience is different, and there's no single roadmap for becoming a parent.
During our consultation, we'll focus on the questions and changes that are most relevant to you. This might include discussing expectations before your baby arrives or making time to reflect on how things have changed since welcoming your child.
I want our conversation to feel comfortable and collaborative. We'll explore the topics that matter to your family and consider how you might approach this new stage together.
Shared Responsibilities, Identity, and Connection
Welcoming a baby can change how you and your partner share responsibilities, spend time together, and see yourselves as individuals.
We can talk about what caregiving responsibilities might look like and develop a shared plan that considers each person's needs and expectations.
We'll also explore changes in identity and ways to stay connected as partners while adjusting to parenthood.
These conversations can be helpful whether you're preparing for your baby's arrival or already experiencing changes in your daily routines.
My goal is to give you space to consider what might work for your family.
Education and Resources for Your Family
Pregnancy and postpartum can bring emotional changes that aren't always discussed openly.
Having access to reliable information is an important part of preparing for these experiences.
I provide education about perinatal mood and anxiety concerns, including risk factors and protective factors that may influence mental health during this time.
We'll also identify information and resources relevant to your circumstances.
Following our consultation, I'll send a customized resource list based on what we've discussed, giving you materials to refer to as your family grows.
You can also explore my Resources page for additional information.
How My Prenatal and Postpartum Consultation Works
My prenatal and postpartum education consultation is a single, one-hour virtual appointment.
Before we meet, I'll ask you to complete a brief questionnaire so I can better understand your circumstances and the questions you'd like to discuss.
This is an educational service, not therapy, and insurance does not cover the consultation.
I offer evening appointments and certain daytime appointments Monday through Thursday, depending on availability.
We'll use our time together to discuss your priorities, with customized resources provided afterward. There is no ongoing appointment commitment or required series of sessions.
Who the Consultation Is For
This consultation is available to expectant and new parents beginning in the second trimester of pregnancy through their baby's first birthday.
I also welcome families growing through adoption or surrogacy.
Whether this is your first child or you're adding another member to your family, each experience can bring different questions and adjustments.
You can participate with your partner and use the consultation to discuss how you're approaching parenthood together.
The consultation is also available as a gift for expectant or new parents. If you'd like to arrange one for someone else, please contact me to discuss the details.
