specializing in perinatal transitional coaching, assisting mothers with preparing their mental health as
they transition into motherhood.\xa0
In 2018 Nicole found herself on the other side of the behavioral\xa0healthcare system, needing services after being diagnosed with Postpartum Depression. \xa0It was during this time that she realized how little discussion there was around perinatal mood and anxiety disorders,\xa0and the challenges in finding the right type of services for what she was experiencing. \xa0
Once she was\xa0able to improve her mental and emotional health, she felt called to action on behalf of mothers\xa0everywhere who were staying silent out of fear or a lack of information. \xa0Nicole wrote about her experience publishing her first book, Postpartum My Language. \xa0
