Our Services

Perinatal & Postpartum Support

The postpartum period is often described as tender and transformative, but for many, it's also lonely, overwhelming, and far from what they expected. You might be grieving your birth experience, feeling detached from your baby or body, or struggling with anxiety, anger, or shame.

We support birthing and non-birthing parents through:

  • Postpartum depression, anxiety, or panic

  • Postpartum rage, emotional dysregulation, and intrusive thoughts

  • Identity shifts and feeling disconnected from your “old self”

  • Overwhelm with the mental load and responsibilities of new parenthood

  • Grief over the birth or postpartum experience you didn’t get to have

  • Difficulty bonding or feelings of resentment

  • Pressure to feel “grateful” or “enjoy every moment”

  • Navigating societal, cultural, or family expectations

Whether your baby is 6 days, 6 months, or 6 years old, this support is still for you. You deserve a space where your feelings can exist without judgment.

Loss in any form, miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR, or neonatal death, can be isolating and heartbreaking. We offer space to grieve, remember, and find your footing again.

We support clients navigating:

  • Grief following miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal loss

  • Complex emotions like guilt, anger, shame, numbness, or confusion

  • Trauma and flashbacks related to medical experiences

  • Relationship strain following loss

  • Pregnancy after loss, including anxiety, disconnection, and fear

  • Navigating family, social, or workplace pressures after loss

Pregnancy & Infant Loss

Struggling to conceive can affect every part of your life, your mental health, relationships, self-worth, and sense of identity. Whether you’re just beginning your fertility journey, navigating IVF, IUI, donor conception, or dealing with the heartbreak of unsuccessful treatments, you're not alone.

We offer compassionate, trauma-informed counselling for those experiencing:

  • Emotional overwhelm, stress, or anxiety during fertility treatments

  • Grief following failed IVF or repeated pregnancy loss

  • Disconnection from partners or loved ones during the fertility journey

  • Complex decisions around donor/embryo use, surrogacy, or when to pause

  • Identity challenges and self-blame related to infertility

  • Navigating social pressures, announcements, and triggers

Infertility & Trying to Conceive (TTC)

A difficult or traumatic birth can leave lasting emotional wounds, whether your experience was medically complex, felt out of your control, or simply not what you hoped for. Trauma may show up in flashbacks, anxiety, guilt, anger, or a deep sense of grief. You may feel disconnected from your body, your baby, or your story.

We support birthing and non-birthing parents navigating:

  • Birth trauma, including emergency deliveries, obstetric violence, or unplanned interventions

  • Feeling dismissed, disrespected, or powerless during labour or delivery

  • Medical trauma from unexpected complications or interventions

  • NICU trauma, whether brief or extended stays

  • Emotional aftermath like rage, numbness, sadness, or fear of future births

  • Guilt over choosing or refusing interventions (e.g., epidural, induction, cesarean)

  • Difficulty bonding with baby after a traumatic birth

We integrate trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, birth story processing, and gentle somatic tools to help you reclaim your narrative and begin to heal.

Couples Counselling & Relationship Therapy

Relationships can feel strained by stress, disconnection, life transitions, or simply the weight of daily responsibilities. Whether you’re new partners, seasoned parents, or somewhere in between, couples counselling can help you better understand each other and strengthen your relationship.

We support couples navigating:

  • Communication issues and recurring conflict

  • Emotional or physical disconnection

  • Relationship stress after becoming parents

  • Resentment or imbalance in roles and responsibilities

  • Navigating grief, loss, or infertility together

  • Rebuilding trust or intimacy

  • Managing external stressors like family dynamics, work, or cultural expectations

We offer couples counselling in Winnipeg as well as virtual relationship therapy across Manitoba and Canada.
