Feeling sad, loss of joy and interest in life. 

Struggling with sleep, low energy and feeling tired all the time.

Withdrawing from others and support networks.

Struggling to focus or look after your baby. 

Struggling to bond with your baby; or thoughts of hurting them. 

Worry that you’re going mad.

Mental health concerns earlier in life, or during your pregnancy. Family history of postnatal depression is also a risk factor. 

Being isolated or a lack of support - this is common in Hong Kong as many families are part of the expat community and have moved away from their home country and family.

Difficulties in your relationship with your partner.

A traumatic birth; other recent traumatic events like death; childhood trauma; domestic or sexual abuse. 

Physical factors like nutritional imbalance, hormonal health and gut health.

Our team of psychologists and psychotherapists can help support you as you navigate postpartum depression. Having a protected space to talk through your feelings - being met non-judgmentally, without pressure to be anything other than what you are - can provide relief. 

In sessions, you choose what you’d like to discuss and our practitioners move at your pace, allowing you space to unravel complex emotions. If it feels right, together you can explore new coping mechanisms and ways to fill your cup. 

Our psychologists and psychotherapists are well equipped to support you as you work through trauma - if that’s what feels right to you. Whether it’s your birth story, or a past trauma that is resurfacing, your practitioner will be there for you as you process the difficult parts of your history.

Our naturopaths can address the physical factors that contribute to postnatal depression - identifying and remedying nutritional factors, hormonal imbalances, gut health and more. 

Acupuncture, craniosacral therapy and other somatic approaches can provide additional support. Acupuncture rebalances your qi, restoring healthy flow of energy throughout your meridians. Craniosacral therapy and bodywork also supports your energetic health, while soothing your nervous system, to support better sleep and mental health.
