Not Sure Where You Are in Your Postpartum Journey? Start Here.
Many moms feel lost in postpartum; not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because the support system around them doesn’t help them understand where they are or what they’re experiencing. When you don’t know your stage, every decision feels harder, and every challenge feels bigger.
​
My Stages of Postpartum model was created to give you a clear map:
-
where you are now
-
what your body and emotions are signaling
-
and which targeted interventions will help you move toward where you want to be
​
Knowledge brings grounding. Grounding brings relief.

What The Mom's Are Saying
When I started working with Nicole, I was dealing with some pp anxiety, new mom stress, trying to work full time, and battling sleep deprivation. Working with her helped me lower my anxiety, understand my needs more, feel less “crazy” and alone in my motherhood experience, and advocate for myself better."

About Dr. Nicole Kumi, Founder of The Whole Mom
My work began with my own postpartum story. A season where I looked “fine” on the outside but felt lost and unmoored on the inside. Around six months after birth, when I thought things were supposed to get easier, everything actually began to feel heavier.
And what made it harder was realizing this:
Once I was cleared at my 6-week appointment, the healthcare system stepped away, but I still needed help.
I didn’t have anywhere to turn, and no one was talking about the emotional, mental, and identity changes that continue long after those first few weeks.
That experience became the reason I built The Whole Mom.
As a perinatal mental health expert (PhD, PMH-C), I’ve seen how many mothers fall into that same gap. Cleared by healthcare, but not actually okay. Expected to bounce back, but still trying to understand who they are now. Carrying the weight of postpartum anxiety, sleep deprivation, identity shifts, and invisible emotional labor without a place to process any of it.
​
I created The Whole Mom to be that missing support system.
Through my Birth of the Mother™ framework, I help moms:
-
understand what stage of postpartum they’re actually in
-
make sense of the emotional and identity shifts happening within them
-
receive the guidance they were never offered after “being cleared.”
-
rebuild trust in themselves as they grow into the mother and woman they’re becoming
No mother should feel like she has to navigate this alone once the appointments end.
You deserve support that honors your transformation, not just your baby’s.
​
Let’s walk this path together.
