We created Centering YOU from our experiences as mothers and our work in perinatal mental health. We wanted mothers to have something tangible to return to, a way to pause, recognize their experience, and explore a practice or conversation that meets the moment.

What Mothers and Providers are telling us…

“The Centering YOU card deck was amazing for me after I gave birth! It is something tangible that I can hold in my hand, turn over, and display in my room on the beautiful wooden stand. I love that it is REAL. The empowering quotes, helpful actions, and resources helped me feel more settled and grounded throughout my days postpartum - at a time when I needed it the most.”

— Mother

“As a counselor, I can say the same things to my clients, but there’s something about having a physical card—it really helps them feel empowered and more focused on whatever they’re working through.”

— Mental Health Clinican
