As Maternal Mental Health Week comes to an end, I wanted to share something a little personal 🤍
After becoming a mum, I experienced postnatal anxiety and honestly didn’t feel like myself at times.
I loved my babies deeply, but my mind constantly raced with worry, health concerns and I often felt overwhelmed, overstimulated and mentally exhausted
One of the hardest parts for me was the insomnia.
Even when I was exhausted, my body and mind wouldn’t properly switch off. The anxiety felt constant.
Looking back now, I realise how many mums quietly carry these feelings while continuing to show up every day for everyone around them.
My own experience deepened my understanding of emotional wellbeing and later led me to support not just children, but parents and babies too through mindfulness and relaxation.
Maternal mental health matters and support really does make a difference 🤍
Please don’t feel like you have to cope alone.
