Journey of the Lotus

Maternal Mental Health Awareness in our Communities

Empowering MOMS from Seed to BLOSSOM!

Journey of the Lotus is designed to bring Awareness around Maternal mental Health to the community. Partnering up with those who are involved and  deeply connected to improve the wellbeing of mothers and their babies.

The Postpartum Support Class is for the mom in treatment, the mom who doesn’t know if she needs treatment, the mom who is looking for an alternative treatment and for any mom who wants to be part of a mindful Perinatal Mood or Anxiety Disorder recovery. 

A Safe Space for Prenatal and Postpartum Moms.

Up to 20 percent of all pregnant women and new moms will develop a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (PMADs) that requires treatment. These include postpartum depression or anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, PTSD, Bipolar 1 & 2 Disorder and postpartum psychosis.
