Create more joy, calm and connection throughout your pregnancy!

Does this sound like you?
- I just don’t feel like myself right now
- I’m not loving being pregnant the way I thought I would
- My partner and I are having trouble connecting with each other
- I thought pregnancy would be filled with more joy and less stress
- I feel overwhelmed by life right now
- I feel totally and completely exhausted day in and day out
- I’m just going through the motions of my day in “survival mode”

Imagine…
*Feeling like yourself again
*Loving more parts of your pregnancy
*Feeling emotionally connected to your partner
*Feeling more joy and less stress in everyday life
*Feeling like you can handle whatever comes your way
*Feeling energized throughout the day

Pregnancy Mental Wellness Student:
This course helped me reflect on the pregnancy phase of my life. I was there twice and also struggled with five years of infertility. Taking Heidi’s course brought it all back, and what a gem for the world of moms-to-be. This stuff is hard, and not often openly discussed. So, take a deep breath, and allow yourself to be supported by Heidi’s compassion, validation and solid information. -Laura

Frequently Asked Questions:

Think about how different your life will be a month from now or six months from now or even a year from now, if you start this course today. The sooner you start, the sooner you can begin to feel better and back to yourself again. So, what are you waiting for?
More joy. More calm. More connection. Throughout your entire pregnancy.
Your doctor is tracking your weight, your labs, your baby's heartbeat. But who is checking in on you, the real you, the one navigating a thousand new feelings at once?
This course fills that gap. Created and taught by a certified perinatal mental health therapist with 25+ years of experience, it is the mental and emotional support every pregnant woman deserves, but rarely gets.
Does Any of This Feel Familiar?
Just Not Yourself. You thought you would feel more excited, more glowing, more at peace. Instead you feel off in ways that are hard to explain, even to the people closest to you.
More Stress Than Joy. You wanted this pregnancy to feel like a happy time in your life. And maybe it is, in moments. But underneath, there is a quiet weight you didn't expect to be carrying.
Overwhelmed and Running on Empty. Not just physically tired, but worn down in a way that sleep doesn't seem to fix. Going through the motions of your day and wondering when it will start to feel easier.
Disconnected from Your Partner. You love each other, but this season of life is bringing new stress and distance into your relationship, and you're not sure how to bridge the gap.
Surviving, Not Thriving The excitement you expected is buried somewhere under the stress, the exhaustion, and the pressure to feel grateful for every single moment.
(Here is what almost no one tells you: nearly every pregnant woman goes through seasons of feeling this way. It doesn't mean anything is wrong. It means you are navigating one of the biggest transitions of your life, without nearly enough support.)
The Pregnancy Truth No One Talks About
Pregnancy is supposed to be one of the happiest times of your life, and it can be. But for so many women, it is also one of the hardest, and one of the loneliest, because the harder parts rarely get talked about out loud.
What you are feeling is real, it matters, and there is a way through.
Imagine Feeling This Instead:
Like yourself again, grounded, present, and whole. Genuinely excited about your pregnancy and what lies ahead. Emotionally close to your partner. Energized enough to actually enjoy your everyday life. Equipped to handle whatever comes your way, now and after baby arrives.
This is not wishful thinking. This is what becomes possible when you finally have the tools, the knowledge, and the support to address the mental and emotional reality of pregnancy, not just the physical side.
About the Program

- Feel like yourself again: centered, grounded, and more at peace.
- Grow confidence as a mom-to-be, with less second-guessing and more trust in yourself.

Module One: Deep Dive into Pregnancy
A thorough, compassionate look at what is happening in your mind and body during pregnancy.

- Emotional Intelligence
- Anger
- Emotional Flooding

- Parenting
- Your Partner
- Traits Found in Happy Families
- The Research
Module Eight: Taking Good Care of You
Self-care is so much more than what it looks like on the surface. This module invites you into a deeper, more honest version of caring for yourself during pregnancy, one that is sustainable, authentic, and genuinely restorative. Here, you will find nurturing for your whole self: body, mind, heart, and spirit.
- Boundary Setting
- Basic, Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Self-Care
