Who’s behind this gem?

Carolyn

Carolyn is a yoga and meditation teacher, specializing in Prenatal Yoga. Long before she became pregnant with her first child, she knew she wanted to serve women bringing life into this world. With a Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering, she has always been fascinated by how the body works. She became particularly intrigued by the mind-body connection through her mindfulness and yoga practice, and how that applies to the rapid changes a woman goes through during pregnancy and childbirth.

Lauren

Lauren is a mental training coach with a PhD in sport psychology. She grew up as an athlete with a long-time desire to work in mental training for high-performing athletes. It was doing research in graduate school with postpartum women and having her own baby that made her realize it wasn’t athletes, but expecting moms that she wanted to work with. She is passionate about translating tools for mental toughness in the sporting world to ones that are accessible and can have a real impact in birth settings.

Brand Pillars.

At Mental Push Plan we are dedicated to more than just selling our product. We believe passionately in the the health, wellness and rights of birthing people. Our brand pillars were selected to reflect our mission to meeting birthing people wherever they are on their birthing journey. Sometimes that means walking with them, sometimes that means empowering them with information, sometimes that means letting them know they aren’t allow and sometimes that means standing up to make things better.

Inclusion

All birthing people deserve to feel confident in their innate ability to give birth. We welcome you as you are, and aim to provide a safe space for your journey to parenthood.

Education

Accurate information around perinatal mental health and birth prep are critical for expecting parents to make informed decisions about their birth experience.

Community

There is so much to learn from collective knowledge. Making space for all kinds of voices, experiences and professionals enriches us.

Advocacy

The health and wellness of birthing people deserves a critical, well-funded focus in research, policy and education. We leverage our voice to further these aims.

*Acknowledgement of biases.

As part of our work, we feel it is important to acknowledge who we are. We are white, cisgender, female identifying, married people.

We know that our background and experiences influence our worldview, perspective and, subsequently, our blind spots. While we continually work to broaden our worldview and seek out other perspectives, there are still times when we fall short of being truly inclusive. We acknowledge this and work to seek out diverse voices to enrich not only our work, but the education and advocacy that we do. It is our goal by identifying and confronting our biases, unconscious or otherwise, we can best serve birthing people, whoever they are.
