I support anyone navigating burnout, stress, and anxiety

Broad lived experience & passionate about helping. CPSS.

As a daughter of a narcissistic mother and someone who has endured religious trauma, I want you to know this first: you are not alone. I was born and raised in Pakistan and have navigated my own journey through anxiety, CPTSD, depression, and dyslexia. For a long time, I carried guilt, confusion, and the quiet feeling of never being fully seen. Therapy was a meaningful and supportive part of my healing, and I’m grateful for the clarity it provided. Over time, I also began attending peer support groups, where I experienced something deeply transformative, being witnessed by others who showed up vulnerably and met me as an equal. That sense of shared humanity shifted my healing in profound ways. I originally trained and worked as a medical doctor, but I came to understand that my heart was in creating spaces centered on connection, presence, and lived experience.

Topic context

Understanding postpartum

Postpartum depression affects many new parents but is often cloaked in silence and stigma. The transition into parenthood can bring intense emotional and hormonal changes, leading to feelings of sadness, guilt, or detachment that are hard to talk about. Peer support offers a safe and understanding environment to share those feelings without judgment. Hearing from others who’ve gone through it helps normalize the experience and reduce shame. Together, individuals can find strength, resources, and a path to healing during a vulnerable time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a postpartum depression diagnosis to book a session?

No. Postpartum Peer Specialists welcome anyone navigating the emotional weight of the postpartum stage, including anxiety, mood shifts, overwhelm, and identity changes, whether or not a formal diagnosis is involved.

How soon after birth can I book a postpartum session?

There is no fixed timeline. Some people book in the first weeks, while others come months or even a year later. Postpartum experiences can surface at any point during the first year and beyond.

Are postpartum Peer Specialists only for mothers?

No. Any new parent, including non-birthing parents, can benefit from 1-on-1 postpartum support. The focus is on the emotional reality of the postpartum period, not only the physical experience of giving birth.
