New Mom School, a bedrock of the Newport, California mom community since 2012, has announced the grand opening of its latest location in Katy. Created to fill a gap in care for women during the critical "fourth trimester" postpartum period, New Mom School offers a unique 8-week series designed to guide new moms through the challenges of early motherhood with research-based, doctor-recommended, expert-led, mom-focused sessions.
Studies show that 85% of women in the US experience some form of postpartum distress from the more common ‘baby blues’ to depression. For the 1 in 7 who experience postpartum depression, it has lingering psychological effects and increases their risk of suicide for the next 18 years. This is a maternal mental health crisis that harms not only the health of moms but also that of their children. At the root of this problem is a crippling lack of support.
Danielle Flannery grew up in Katy, Texas and met her husband, Mason, at Texas A&M. They have two adorable little girls and a third on the way. Danielle’s background is in education, and she worked for Katy ISD prior to having her kids. She is extremely passionate about giving back to the community, serving moms in one of the most vulnerable times, and increasing the awareness and education behind the struggles that may arise during the postpartum period. The Flannery’s feel so blessed and fortunate to be able to bring such an incredible program to Katy.
New Mom School’s Katy program will feature local experts, giving new moms direct access to the professionals they need most. Practitioners confirmed for the team include:
● Kelsee Melton, Parenting Coach & Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC, Owner of Katy Child
