Welcome To The 4th Trimester Program
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.

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.
Program Objectives
✔️ 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, especially after being "cleared" at 6 weeks.
✔️ 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- providing education and validation about your current challenges.
✔️ Identifying your stage of postpartum—so you have a solid foundation to build upon that reflects where you are in your journey.
✔️ 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 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
Recovery
Birth and recovery can be more complicated than you prepped for. Having an understanding of how your birth experience impacts your mental health will assist you in the postpartum period.
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Identifying the symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety and understanding they don't always begin AFTER the baby, and what you can do about it.
Stages of Postpartum
You will take a quiz to identify your stage of postpartum so we can develop interventions appropriate for each stage that will allow you to embrace your transition, not just survive the postpartum period
Sleep Deprivation
Maybe you have heard of the term "mom brain", but do you know the science behind it and effective tools for combating sleep deprivation? This module teaches you about the process and strategies to implement.
Feeding and other newborn Challenges
You could be in the postpartum period, and your method of feeding is not what you had planned. This can contribute to mental health challenges so let's explore that.
Birth of the Mom
You are birthed alongside your baby and deserve to reach milestones, track development, and receive praise and validation for this. This module will help you understand the evolution of your birth and the importance it has on your journey.
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 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.
