Chelsea Myers

Chelsea lives in New England with their partner and two daughters. They have dedicated their life to working with children and families in Special Education as well as volunteering at a Pediatric Oncology Camp. 

Chelsea suffered from multiple postpartum mental health disorders, but after the birth of their second child, their symptoms became extremely acute. They felt isolated and discouraged at the lack of resources available specific to their needs.

They did extensive research into programs and support groups before deciding to create a space for parents and caregivers to unite and tell their own stories.

They are now dedicated to widening the lens on postpartum mental health disorders in hopes that parents are able to feel seen, heard, and supported.

Claude Racine

In a patriarchal society that suggests women can’t have it all, Claude Racine-Valinksy is living proof they can. An outspoken advocate for women’s empowerment and wellness, Claude is leveraging her platform as an accomplished dancer, sought-after social media influencer and transformational personal coach to help women around the world harness the power of their own agency and accept responsibility for creating a life they love. 

In 2020, at the height of a wildly successful career, Claude found herself suddenly unemployed and at the mercy of a global pandemic that crippled the entertainment industry. Simultaneously, she privately battled postpartum depression following the birth of her first son, as well as a crushing Hashimoto’s disease diagnosis and an unprecedented 35 pound weight gain. Forced to pivot both personally and professionally,

Nancy Di Nuzzo

Hi, I’m Nancy. A wife, daughter, friend, and mom of two little ones. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, a bit of an overachiever, and I’ve got a whole lot of passion.

My motherhood journey started on February 3, 2020 – the day I found out I was pregnant. I had just gotten married and we had several travel plans that year (although we wouldn’t be the only ones to have our travels disrupted in 2020…). It came as a complete shock, but once it settled in, I had a happy and healthy pregnancy.


Like many of us, my labor and birth experience was nowhere near what I had planned or expected, but my daughter Amaya arrived, beautiful and healthy.


The period that followed changed everything. I returned to the hospital a week later and was admitted to the psychiatric ward. I was diagnosed with postpartum psychosis, which was followed by a long journey of guilt, anger, confusion, sadness, and eventually recovery.

Tessia Watson

A single mother of two young kids, Tessia quickly learned that parenting is the most amazing experience but can also be unbearably tough without the right support. Recognising her own need, Tessia embarked on a journey to support other mothers and enrich the lives of their children with the creation of ‘Les Petits Bellots’, a bilingual crèche that is free from the obligations that make the traditional UK childcare so inflexible and inaccessible for most parents.
