Supporting mums after an unexpected birth

A life beyond anxiety, overwhelm and living in survival mode —
where you feel grounded, steady and able to enjoy motherhood — Is possible

You don't have to keep holding it together all on your own  


​​

Motherhood isn't meant to feel like constant survival mode 

Replaying parts of your pregnancy or birth over and over.


Always on edge.

Easily overstimulated and overwhelmed.

Irritable, snapping in rage — then drowning in guilt. Feeling disconnected from your body and your baby.

​

I know how heavy and isolating this can feel.

​

But it is possible to feel safe enough to relax and be more present in your day-to-day life.

​

To feel calmer, more grounded and more in control, without constantly bracing for the next thing to go wrong.

​

To slow down and feel pure joy of being with your baby. To feel more like yourself again — and the fun mum you imagined you’d be.

Anjelena Santos Perinatal Psychotherapis

If you recognise yourself in these words  -  its not because you're failing,
too "sensitive" or not strong enough to cope.
With the right support, your mind and body can begin to feel safe enough to
process & release painful past experiences, so they’re no longer in the driving seat — you are

Succulent Plant Box

Laura, Bradford

"I can wholeheartedly recommend Anjelena to anyone struggling postpartum. After the birth I had, I was constantly anxious and on edge, I didn't recognise myself anymore. After only a few sessions I started to feel like myself again. My sleep and relationships improved massively. I understood why I was reacting the way I was and there was nothing wrong with me. I was enjoying spending time with my baby for the first time since he was born. By the end I feel like I made peace with the birth experience I had - which I never thought I would. I now feel so much more confident and ready to focus on the future and can't thank you enough.”
