Welcome To The 4th Trimester Program

Dr. Nicole Kumi, PhD, PMH-C  - ( Founder )

Take a deep breath, mama.

Whether your baby is still on the way or already in your arms, this is your space to feel seen, supported, and ready.

The weeks surrounding birth are tender and transformative.
They’re filled with love, and sometimes doubt, exhaustion, and questions you didn’t expect.
You don’t have to walk this path alone.

Here, you’ll find:

  • Gentle guidance to understand the physical and emotional changes of early motherhood

  • Tools to feel confident and prepared before birth, and supported long after

  • A community that meets you with compassion, not judgment

This is your invitation to slow down, gather what you need, and step into motherhood with clarity and confidence.
You are safe here. You are ready. And you are not alone.

Program Objectives

This program was designed for expecting and new moms who want to feel mentally prepared, supported, and confident as they transition into the postpartum period.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. This course gives you the knowledge, tools, and support system to navigate the postpartum period  with confidence. 

Understand postpartum mood & anxiety disorders (PMADs) before they happen

so you can recognize early signs and take action before feeling overwhelmed.

Reduce the impact of postpartum stress, anxiety, and emotional shifts

by learning practical tools to protect your well-being.

Identifying your stage of postpartum

so you have a solid foundation to build upon that reflects where you are in your journey.

Join a supportive community of moms

inside The Online Community, where you’ll connect with Dr. Kumi, her coaching team, and other moms navigating the same journey.

Fill the gap between OB visits

covering the emotional, mental, and lifestyle changes doctors often don’t have time to discuss, especially after being "cleared" at 6 weeks.

Connect with a perinatal mental health specialist

providing education and validation about your current challenges.

Normalize the emotional highs and lows of postpartum

because your mental health will be affected, and knowing how to seek help is a sign of strength, not failure.

Our Clients Say

After my second child, I was lost in postpartum. I had no idea what my purpose was, or WHO I was anymore. The progress I've made, especially mentally, under her guidance has been truly transformative and unmatched. With all of her help, I have been able to embrace what motherhood has to offer fully, but also still learn how to find myself again with my newfound confidence

What you can expect from completing this program

Completing this program is more than checking a box; it’s a transformation. When you reach the other side, you won’t just feel different, you’ll be different.​

You’ll have the tools to advocate for yourself, your body, your mental health, and your boundaries. No more feeling lost in the shuffle or invisible in the motherhood journey.  You’ll feel seen, heard, and capable of asking for what you need.

And you’ll have something truly priceless: a community of supportive sisters in your corner. Women who get it. Women who will continue to lift you up, hold space for you, and celebrate your wins long after the program ends.​

This program is just the beginning of a new chapter, one where you feel grounded, guided, and gloriously yourself.

You’ll walk away with increased confidence, self-efficacy, and a renewed sense of empowerment. You’ll trust yourself more deeply as a mother, a woman, and an individual. The noise of self-doubt will quiet, and your inner voice will grow louder, clearer, and stronger.​

You’ll feel more like you again, like an evolved, stronger version. With a deeper understanding of your needs, a gentler relationship with your mind and body, and clarity around what wellness truly means in motherhood, you’ll be able to care for yourself the way you deserve.​

The truth is, your mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum.  It touches everything. When you invest in your healing, your growth, and your joy, the ripple effect is powerful. Your partner feels it. Your baby feels it. Your friendships, your home, your work, all of it benefits when you feel whole.​
