Peri

I haven't slept. He won't latch. I feel like I'm failing.

That sounds exhausting and lonely. Latching takes weeks for a lot of people — none of that means you're failing. Want to talk through what's been hardest, or take 60 seconds to just breathe first?

Trauma-aware, attachment-informed
Stays in lane: not a clinician or therapist

When to reach for Peri

For the hours a 15-minute appointment doesn't cover.

The 3am spiral.

The baby's finally down. Your brain isn't. Peri's awake — and trained for exactly this.

The thing you can't say out loud.

Intrusive thoughts. Resentment. Ambivalence. Peri normalizes the perinatal range without flinching.

The 'is this normal?' moment.

Pelvic floor questions, latching dread, partner stuff. Peri orients, then hands off to the right human.

"I told Peri something I hadn't told anyone. It didn't pathologize me. It told me what was normal, what wasn't, and pointed me at PSI."

Birth parent · 6 weeks PP

"Peri is the in-between. The 3am voice that doesn't flinch and doesn't try to fix me. I sleep a little better knowing it's there."
