Our Story
So often new parents alike feel they are only surviving moment to moment as the enter into this new transition of life. It can be hard to find your footing when you are having to meet the demands of your little human, adjust to all the changes, face social barriers with expensive childcare, lack of paid leave and real day-to-day support.
Let's be honest, society does not typically set parents up for success.
Many times these realities can make parents feel alone, isolated and shame for not
"having it all together". We need to re-examine how we support modern parents and that is where The Grove comes in.
A need for things to be different
In the early days of motherhood, Louise found herself feeling she was drowning by the new reality of becoming a mother. She often felt alone, confused, and lost. At the time, she didn’t know what she needed to feel better, expect a guiding feeling she desperately needed a special kind of help that understood what it meant to become a mother in the times we live in.
As a motherhood therapist, she came to realize her story was not unique. In fact, she discovered many parents often feel alone, lost, and overwhelmed by their new roles as parents.
While navigating her own motherhood and walking along side other mothers and witness their stories, she eventually found the missing pieces of care she had been searching for. She found language for the often unacknowledged, harder parts of parenthood and began to understand why this transition of raising children more broadly. Through this experience, the vision and mission for The Grove became clear.
The Mission
The mission of The Grove is to support the emotional well-being and lived realities of modern motherhood and parenthood. We provide the educational guidance, therapeutic support, and meaningful opportunities for connection that parents need to navigate the challenges of raising children while nurturing their own well-being.
Through evidence-based education, therapeutic care, and supportive wellness experiences, The Grove creates a place where parents can feel truly seen and validated in both the joy and difficulty of parenthood. We believe that support should extend beyond crisis—it should provide parents with the knowledge, tools, connection, and care they need to build lives filled with greater moments of joy, connection, resilience, and life-long wellbeing.
The Grove is a place to feel validated in the hard, access well-rounded and person-centered support and transform feelings of drowning into thriving, even when the waves feel big.
Because caring for parents is caring for the whole family and supporting the emotional well-being of parents has the potential to shape the trajectory of children, and communities for generations to come-setting everyone up for success.
