The First Year

The First Year is the first and only online class that is designed to bridge the gap between parents accessing support online in isolation and traditional therapy.

It is a supportive, thoughtfully paced class designed to help you navigate the emotional, developmental, and practical realities of the transition to life with a newborn. Instead of offering rigid rules or overwhelming advice, this course gives you grounding, clarity, and realistic tools that honor both your baby’s needs and your own.

Across 12 modules—each paired with worksheets, reflection prompts, and real examples—you’ll explore the most common experiences that parents face in the first year including: processing your birth story, understanding postpartum emotions, learning how your baby’s brain develops, navigating infant sleep and feeding, managing stress and triggers, examining your own upbringing and how it shapes parenting, sharing responsibilities with a partner, supporting relationships and intimacy, and making sense of grief, identity shifts, and evolving family dynamics.

You’ll also map out your community resources, craft a parenting mission statement, and focus on what life looks like after the newborn phase—because growth, challenges, and big feelings don’t end when the fourth trimester does.

What makes The First Year unique is that it’s meant to be done slowly, gently, and intentionally—one week at a time (or slower!)—so you actually have space to absorb the information, reflect deeply, and apply the tools to your real life. And the reflection questions are truly the heart of the class: they help you personalize the material and make meaningful connections that support your wellbeing.

Whether you’re seeking more confidence, better coping skills, stronger relationships, or simply reassurance that what you’re feeling is normal, The First Year offers a compassionate roadmap through one of the most tender and transformative seasons of parenthood. It's a space to learn, reflect, adjust, and root yourself in what matters most—while knowing you don’t have to do any of it alone.
