Supported Through Motherhood™
The Perinatal Emotional Wellness Companion
Your baby deserves care. So do you.
Pregnancy and life after birth can bring a mix of emotions—joy, worry, exhaustion, uncertainty, and feelings you may not yet know how to name. As your body, relationships, and daily routines change, you deserve space to acknowledge your experience and ask for support.
Supported Through Motherhood™ is a gentle digital companion for pregnancy through the first year after birth. Created by Dr. Maxine Goring-Rodriguez, Ph.D. in Psychology, it offers practical guidance, reflection exercises, and simple tools for making your emotional wellbeing part of the care plan.
Support for the person behind the mothering
Use this companion to explore:
-
Mixed emotions during pregnancy and postpartum life.
-
Changing identity, expectations, and relationships.
-
Pressure surrounding feeding, bonding, and body changes.
-
Asking for help, sharing responsibilities, and protecting rest.
-
Boundaries around visitors and unwanted advice.
-
Preparing for conversations with your care team.
-
Returning to work or study with a workable support plan.
Gentle adaptations are also included for difficult birth experiences, NICU care, and loss. Choose the pages that fit your circumstances and skip those that do not.
Grounded in the SoulCentements™ approach
The companion draws on Dr. Goring’s Soul-Centered Mental Wellness Model: spirituality at the center, supported by Healthy Sense of Self, Psychological Flexibility, Perspective, and Daily Maintenance.
Spiritual reflection is optional and can be adapted to your beliefs, personal values, and sources of meaning.
