My birth experience took a huge toll on me physically and my postpartum depression was debilitating in ways that I could've never imagined. I had the books, I did the research, I had the friends who were pros, and yet I was unprepared for what would come afterwards.
I'm sharing my story because I would like to acknowledge the incredible things that the hub for wellness has done to support me in the hardest experience of my life. Before even facing the hurtles of my PP depression that was later to come, I was sent home from the hospital with a horrendous injury and no education on how to properly recover. When I voiced my fears to Mati, she came to my house immediately. She brought with her a sense of support and compassion that I didn't know existed. She gave me a checkup and provided me with tips and treatment plan for my recovery. Her kindness and knowledge made all the difference in the world. The sad thing is that the information she gave me should have been the standard of care provided to me by my doctors and the hospital. Mati has turned that level of care and support into her full time career. I'm so grateful for what she has done for me and my family. read more
