Maternal Empowerment is a program of one-on-one coaching to help expectant mothers problem solve and plan for the early weeks with their new babies.

There are so many unanswered questions, so many fears, as women move into this new stage of life. Mothers surveyed about what they would have done differently in the first few weeks of parenthood; all said they wished they'd had more information about what to do and how to do it. They all emphasized a need for well-informed support.

Maternal Empowerment offers that information and support, including at least two individual coaching sessions with a seasoned professional. We give guidance to mothers in taking care of themselves as well as their babies.

It is possible to make a peaceful transition into motherhood.

Some of our tools are:

• Creating a time budget
• Protecting your time with your baby
• Protecting your time with yourself
• Meeting your baby’s needs
