Our Team

Mind Body Baby was founded in April 2018 by four practitioners who continue to serve as Executive Board members. The MBB collective has quickly expanded to a larger community of practitioners and volunteers providing prenatal and postpartum support to caretakers and families. The term ‘practitioner’ includes lactation consulting, maternal mental health therapy, doulas, midwives, infant massage, chiropractors, sleep consultants, and other support and educational services. 

MBB fulfills our mission primarily through free, facilitated postpartum support groups open to all caregivers in strategic locations around Charlotte on a regular, reliable basis. Each group is facilitated by a perinatal specialist who provides perinatal mental health training with specific training in maternal mental health. It also features a rotation of the collective’s practitioners to educate caregivers, thereby increasing confidence. Fellow moms attend groups in the same season of the caregiving journey to help normalize the experience and form a community. We also have a Community Care Fund to close the gap when money is an obstacle to accessing needed support, including transportation for services and more direct, individual care in mental health, lactation, or physical recovery.
