The Full Story
Partners to Parents:
Keeping the Connection When Baby Arrives
Partners to Parents (P2P) is a six-week program for couples or poly systems preparing to welcome a child and wanting to protect, stabilize, and strengthen their relationship during this major life transition. Using MBTI personality frameworks, P2P normalizes the predictable shifts in communication, desire, self-image, and everyday connection that arise in the perinatal period—without therapy, analysis, or pressure. Participants learn practical self-care strategies, simple relational tools, and ways to maintain closeness and sexual pleasure even as sleep, schedules, and stress change.
Held online in six weekly 90-minute sessions, the program is offered at $50 per couple or $25 per individual.
What You'll Learn
How personality differences (MBTI types) influence communication, stress responses, and needs during the perinatal period.
Learn why you and your partner react differently, and how to work with—not against—those differences.
✔ Tools for staying connected when sleep, hormones, and routines change - our 3 simple habits protect closeness, affection, and teamwork, even during exhaustion and overwhelm.
✔ How desire, sensation, and self-image naturally shift during pregnancy and postpartum - we approach these changes with compassion, normalize them, and learn how to navigate intimacy at a comfortable pace for this season of life.
✔ Ways to keep your relationship (or poly system) stable, supportive, and emotionally safe - we focus on gently building confidence in communication, boundary-setting, and shared decision-making without needing therapy or “analysis.”
✔ A flexible, pleasure-focused approach to intimacy after baby - by learning how to adjust expectations and expand your pleasure repertoire, we aim to keep your sexual connection alive in ways that feel good to both/all of you.
✔ Self-care strategies for each partner that reduce conflict and increase emotional resilience - your energy in this season is precious! We strive to protect your energy, regulate stress, and support one another as you move into your new roles.
