Samantha Flores is a postpartum coach, who also experienced fertility concerns and postpartum. After her experience with postpartum depression following the birth of her first baby in 2017, she made it her mission to bring awareness to maternal mental health and advocate for moms who need support during this transitional phase of life. Today, she is here to offer us a coaching consultation and free resources about postpartum.

Moms need support now more than ever. Make time for you because you are just as important as the sweet baby that you've given birth to, and you need care as well!
