We all know that our bodies change after we have a baby. But what happens to our minds? For the month of February we focused on all things NICU Postpartum and how we can learn to love and embrace our bodies. We asked Natalie Reiter with Prairieland Counseling to share her wisdom regarding NICU postpartum, the changes that our minds undergo when they experience trauma, and how we can heal and grow post NICU.

Part 1 focuses on the "science" of trauma and what is really going on in our minds and in our bodies. Hint - there's a LOT!

Natalie specializes in reproductive mental health which includes peri-natal, post-partum, infertility, infant loss, paternal mental health, and the impact on couples. She has received specialized training in perinatal and post-partum mental health from Postpartum Support International, and was recently selected as the 2019 Outstanding Mental Health Counselor by the North Dakota Mental Health Counseling Association for my work with reproductive mental health. Her work as a child birth educator and her two children have sparked her passion of working with reproductive mental health!
