The Postpartum Online Course Clients are Using to Heal Postpartum Anxiety and Depression
Postpartum Course
Take Olivia's Experience, for Instance:
"I was in my third trimester when I noticed severe heart palpitations. Despite mentioning it repeatedly, my midwives took no action. Even five months postpartum, the palpitations persisted. One doctor finally referred me to a cardiologist, but before the appointment, I started watching Tara's videos. Being insulin-resistant, I sought natural remedies. Tara recommended stinging nettles to calm my nervous system. After drinking it twice daily for three days, my heart palpitations vanished. I was impressed!" — Olivia
If you're experiencing similar symptoms, consider trying the One Daily Tea Blend, which contains stinging nettles known for reducing histamines and calming the nervous system. This simple herbal remedy can make a significant difference.

Sleep Deprivation Is Another Common Challenge That Profoundly Impacts Mental Health
Elise's story sheds light on this:
"My biggest gap postpartum was that nobody told me (doula, midwives, doctors) how important diet was to help me through the sleep deprivation stage of motherhood. My sleep deprivation rapidly turned into PPA and PPD, and it has ultimately led to nightly panic attacks and insomnia. I’ve realized that my nervous system has been destroyed over the course of two years. Funnily enough, I have been vegan for years, 'because of the animals.' Prior to that, I was vegetarian since making the connection of where meat came from when I was 8. In the last few months, I’ve added eggs, a bit of dairy, and fish. Since starting Present Mama (day 3 today) I have already had grass-fed red meat, and bone broth, and have added all the necessary supplements that I believe I am lacking. Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to feeling better!" — Elise Di Michael
Elise's experience highlights the importance of nutrition in managing postpartum challenges. Adjusting her diet and incorporating essential supplements led to noticeable improvements.
In My Course, The Present Momma, We Delve into a Four-Step Framework Designed to Identify and Address Gaps in Your Health Journey:
Step 1: The Methylation Plan
Objection:
I’ll live like this forever
Truth:
Postpartum anxiety and depression are due to a nutrient deficiency caused by your genetics.
Lesson Learned:
When you have the MTHFR gene, you’ll struggle more in the postpartum period. By supporting your methylation pathways, you’ll get rid of excessive cortisol faster, process estrogen better, and have energy to last you all day long.
Step 2: Nervous System Regulation Strategy
Objection
“I feel like I’m losing control and will become depressed.”
Truth
Anxiety, depression, and insomnia go hand in hand. We need to learn how to calm our nervous system in order to heal.
Lesson Learned
Childbirth is traumatic, and if it wasn't traumatic for you, the sleeplessness and exhaustion that follow childbirth tend to trigger any trauma that you've had during your childhood. I'll teach you how to change the thoughts of trauma so that you feel calm and sure during this transition of motherhood and finally sleep again.
Step 3: Irresistible Remedies
Objection
“I’ve tried everything, nothing is working.”

Step 4: Heal Your Gut Strategy

Step 5: Metabolize your Hormones Mastery
Objection
“My hormones are all over the place.” “My doctor said,-“it’s hormonal, there’s nothing you can do.”
Truth
There is so much you can do to feel balanced all month long.
Lesson Learned
We’ll deep dive into the DUTCH hormone test and how it reveals the metabolism of our hormones. The EXACT supplements to take to reduce estrogen dominance, lower cortisol, and raise progesterone naturally, OR with bioidenticals if you’re struggling with depression.
