The Powerful Postpartum Method,
for veterinarians who want the baby without the blues
this is your invitation to prepare for the transformation.
Unfortunately, most people's postpartum feels POWERLESS
depression
Perinatal mood disorders have reached levels of
ONE IN THREE.
confusion
Not knowing how to care for your baby or yourself, or who to turn to when you need help.
Exhaustion
Having no clear plan with how to handle sleep deprivation that can last for months.
identity crisis
A lack of understanding around how to support matrescence and the shift in identity as the brain undergoes neural pruning.
POOR NUTRITION
Inadequate nutrition contributes to poor milk production, mood disorders, delayed healing, fatigue, and more.
poor body image and care
Whether it is altered body image, feelings of failure, or just benign neglect, the relationship with body can be damaged profoundly.
strained Relationships
2 out of 3 couples report that having a baby damaged their relationship
how do you want your postpartum to feel?
You can “just see what happens” and allow your postpartum to fit the usual pattern…
Or you can make the powerful proactive choice to get the experience you want and need to thrive with your new baby, in your new identity as a mother.
Have a plan to get enough, and better quality sleep.
Eat in a way that supports healing, lactation, and mental health.
Determine what you REALLY need, vs. what you may have on your registry or what other people think you need.
Create an environment that gets your needs met, as well as your baby's.
Reduce your risk of perinatal mood disorder incidence and severity with practical mind-body tools and practices.
Get the help you need to thrive.
Improve your relationship with your partner.
Feel better about your body, with less pain.
Understand what's really happening in your brain as you undergo an entire metamorphosis, and collect tools to help you explore this identity shift.
Dr. Emily Taylor Yunker has somehow managed to deliver the scientific information veterinarians want and the advice new postpartum mothers need, all wrapped up in a big, warm, hug.
Even if this is not your first baby, you will learn something new from this course. Emily does a great job presenting the information in a non-judgmental, respectful way so that you can decide what is right for you during this time of transformation in your life.
She also provides helpful worksheets and breaks down each topic into bite-sized pieces that are easier to fit into the chaos of vet med practice, pregnancy, and early postpartum life.
This is a resource I recommend in my book, Pregnancy and Postpartum Considerations for the Veterinary Team, to help veterinarians navigate their postpartum journey with confidence and support.

I appreciated that I never felt “talked down” to. The medical background info I found very helpful to understand the “why” of things in the postpartum period. - KG, vet mom x2

Emily Yunker, DVM
I live at the intersection of motherhood and veterinary medicine. Long before I was a doula and childbirth educator, or even a mother myself, I loved supporting others on their parenting journeys. Eventually I realized that my education and lived experience of both veterinary medicine and early parenthood put me in a position to really understand the needs of veterinarians entering into motherhood.
Veterinarians are intelligent, driven professionals. Those traits can make them amazing mothers, with the right support in place.
My Guarantee
If you complete this class, do the steps, work with me one-on-one, and it turns out this did not help you…
I will give you your money back AND I will work with you personally to make it right.
my goal is to support you, always.
This was really exceptional, thank you.

Emily can walk you through the… options… But she goes above and beyond by taking the time to ask the deeper questions of emotion and experience and to bring to light that which as a new mom you may not yet have words for yourself.
