About

HI!

Our Motherhood Matters- where your best friend and therapist come together to offer gentle reminders, thoughtful reflections, and all the shit no one else talks about.

Let's break through the noise of endless scrolling, conflicting advice, and far too many images of moms who have it all together. No thank you.

Motherhood is messy and hard and beautiful- but there are so many parts we don't share or are too shy to ask about. Don't worry bestie, we got you. We've been there- as both perinatal therapists and moms- and we want to support, empower, and share insights to help you feel less alone in the mess.

This is precisely why we created The Motherhood Map- A conversation & reflection tool specifically for pregnancy + early motherhood.

Our Story:

real moms. real therapists. real life.

We (Hillary and Lindsey) started this journey as colleagues, but have evolved into best friends, mothers, and business owners. Together, we have so much passion for supporting and educating women and birthing people to feel knowledgeable, empowered, and prepared for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

After many years talking with moms and birthing people in all seasons of their journey, we set out to create a tool that is real, honest, and practical.

With kids on our laps and dogs barking in the background, Our Motherhood Matters was founded with immense love for all those going through it- because we are, too.

Our Vision

As licensed mental health therapists certified in perinatal mental health, and having gone through many challenges ourselves after having children, we want everyone to have access to a tool that combines a therapist and a best friend to normalize and validate all the experiences of pregnancy and early motherhood that most people don’t talk about.

This shit is hard. You aren't alone. We got you.
