The Fourth Trimester Virtual Course
You prepared for the baby, now it's time to prepare for YOU
The moment your baby was born, so were you. The mother.
But while everyone’s checking on the baby… who’s checking on you?
Sleepless nights. Big emotions. A body you barely recognize.
Whispers of “this is supposed to be the happiest time”, but you feel lost, anxious, or unsure.
No one told you it would feel like this.
That’s exactly why this course exists.

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.
✔️ Understand postpartum mood & anxiety disorders (PMADs) before they happen—so you can recognize early signs and take action before feeling overwhelmed.
✔️ Fill the gap between OB visits—covering the emotional, mental, and lifestyle changes doctors often don’t have time to discuss.
✔️ Reduce the impact of postpartum stress, anxiety, and emotional shifts—by learning practical tools to protect your well-being.
✔️ Connect with a perinatal mental health specialist before birth—so you have expert guidance and support in place when you need it most.
✔️ Create a personalized postpartum care plan while you’re still feeling well—so you have a clear roadmap for handling challenges if they arise.
✔️ 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.
✔️ Join a supportive community of moms—inside The Fourth Trimester Online Community, where you’ll connect with Dr. Kumi, her coaching team, and other moms navigating the same journey.
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.
Program Modules
Designed for expecting and new moms, this program provides the mental preparation, support, and confidence you need to navigate postpartum with clarity and ease.
We’ll cover the real challenges of the fourth trimester—the ones doctors don’t always have time to discuss and the topics that often go unspoken—so you feel informed, validated, and ready for what’s ahead.
Recovery
No two bodies or deliveries are the same and we need to be aware of the different ways we will respond to recovery. Your birth may not go as planned. How prepared are you to adjust to that and how much do you know about alternatives?
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Identifying the symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety and understanding they don't always begin AFTER the baby. What can you do about it?
Relationships & Sex Drive
Between the physical and emotional changes you may or may not be in a space to be sexual or to actually love your partner right now. How can you effectively communicate that?
Sleep Deprivation
This can hit us hard and is often the underlying cause of a lot of other challenges you will face. Learn to combat this and speak up when you recognize you are struggling to sleep.
Newborn challenges
I never heard of colic before my son's diagnosis and along with that came other challenges I was not prepared for such as latching, pumping, and nursing pressures.
Self-awareness/Self-image
You change after having a baby and it's important to understand that process, your birth, so that you are ready to create the next version.
What you can expect from completing this program
Completing The Fourth Trimester 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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
This program is just the beginning of a new chapter, one where you feel grounded, guided, and gloriously yourself.
