"Sometimes I used the sessions to just cry it out and let out all the hormones and emotions that felt overwhelming after my baby was born."

"I think the peace of mind was the biggest difference for me. I know how to change diapers and to expect that babies will cry but I trust myself to figure things out and ask for help when I need it."

"I wanted to do everything right for my baby, but I felt like I was never getting a break and would fantasize about being alone and then I would feel so much guilt. Mary taught me how to tolerate that guilt and manage the full range of feelings that come up with motherhood. It makes me better at holding myself to high standard."

"I am such a people pleaser and I don’t like conflict. I needed to feel more comfortable asking for the kind of help I needed so could feel more comfortable that part myself. I was so uncomfortable feeling so dependent at first.”

"After our one intense session, I felt so much more confident becoming a father. My wife and I needed to talk through each of our worries and Mary helped us articulate those worries so we could understand each other and feel closer to each other before the baby was born. Those first few weeks were the most emotionally and physically exhausting of my life but I felt like we could handle it together and we weren’t blindsided by how tough it really was."
