Why I Created Us Before Baby

If you’re expecting a baby—or thinking about becoming parents—you’ve probably spent time preparing for the baby. We have so much time and effort planning for the registry, the nursery, the gear.

But very few couples are taught how to prepare for what matters just as much:

Your relationship.

My mission, is to make the term Pre-parental as common as Pre-Marital.

Here’s the truth I see over and over again in my work with couples:

A baby doesn’t create problems in a relationship—it illuminates what was already there.

And without the right tools, even the strongest couples can find themselves feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to find their way back to each other.

That’s why I created Us Before Baby.

What Us Before Baby Is

Us Before Baby is a relationship program designed specifically for:

• Expectant couples

• Couples thinking about having a baby

• New parents wanting to stay connected through the transition

This program is focused on prevention, not just repair. Instead of waiting until things feel hard, we prepare your relationship ahead of time so you can navigate:

• Conflict and communication

• Emotional and physical intimacy

• Household roles and expectations

• The mental load of parenting

• Family boundaries

  
  

Why This Program Is Different

Most relationship support happens after things feel broken.

But what if you didn’t have to wait for that?

Us Before Baby gives you:

• Practical tools you can use immediately

• Conversations most couples don’t know to have

• A deeper understanding of each other’s needs and patterns

• A foundation that protects your connection during one of life’s biggest transitions

This isn’t about perfection.

It’s about being prepared, intentional, and connected.

The Founding Couples Opportunity

For this first round, I’m opening Us Before Baby to just 20 couples.

These couples will be part of something really special.

As a founding couple, you will:

• Go through the full program

• Provide feedback on what resonates and what could be improved

• Help shape the final version of Us Before Baby

Your experience will directly influence how this program is refined before it becomes an evergreen course available to the public later this fall/winter.

This means you’re not just participating—you’re co-creating something meaningful for future couples.

Why I’m Limiting It to 20 Couples

I want this experience to feel personal, supportive and intentional. And keeping the group small allows me to be more involved, hear your feedback and ensure the program truly meets the needs of couples in this season.

Who This Is For

This program is for you if:

• You value your relationship and want to protect it

• You want to feel like a team going into parenthood

• You’re open to learning, growing, and having meaningful conversations

• You don’t want to “figure it out the hard way” later (like I did).

  
  

A Personal Note

As a couples therapist, I’ve spent years helping partners find their way back to each other after disconnection has already happened.

And while that work is incredibly meaningful…

I kept thinking:

What if we could support couples before they got there?

That’s the heart behind Us Before Baby.

If This Feels Like the Right Time

If you’re in this season of life and want to feel more prepared, more connected, and more aligned as you step into parenthood…

I would love for you to be one of the 20 founding couples.

This is your opportunity to:

• Strengthen your relationship now

• Be part of something meaningful

• Help shape a program that will support many couples after you
