Approximately 80% of mothers experience normal postpartum blues

Approximately 20% of mothers experience postpartum depression

Approximately 15% of mothers experience postpartum anxiety, although this is thought to be much higher as symptoms often go undetected or are under reported

I absolutely love Dr. Alice’s Visible Motherhood workbook & suggest every new or expecting mother get one for themselves! So many times motherhood is full of guilt, loneliness and overwhelm – and what I love about this workbook is that it allows space for all those feelings, but also provides practical and evidence-based skills to help work through them. I spent as little as 5 minutes every morning or night reading and completing the worksheets and within a few weeks I could already see the small changes I was able to make in my day to feel a bit less like I was just surviving and more like I was enjoying motherhood again.

I've been following Dr. Pickering on Instagram since my first couple of weeks postpartum, when I found myself completely overwhelmed with birth trauma…and anxiety…I felt less alone with the way she connected and shared her own personal stories. Months later I jumped at the chance to join her support group…She created such a good space for me to connect with other mamas…She challenged some of our automatic thoughts and really helped me to look at things differently while being completely understanding and validating. Hearing her expertise on scary thoughts and her guidance with others’ tough feelings always left me feeling more comfortable and a little lighter each time we met.

I joined Find Your Glow virtual group during the summer of 2021. It was a fantastic group with great people and I found myself looking forward to our sessions every week! Dr. Pickering was such a thoughtful leader and accepted each person's different parenting methods…and really validated all of our feelings! This group was a safe place to be open and honest about motherhood…I would highly recommend her classes!

Thank you for providing a comforting and safe space for us to come to every week and share what was going on with us. I appreciated that we discussed different topics and it wasn’t only mood disorders…I will miss our Monday meetings.
