Our Story
In March of 2020, counselor and founder, Sara Wright, was navigating a pregnancy and a global pandemic. Through the isolating journey of her own pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum period, the idea for The Mindful Mama was born.
By the time her daughter was three months old, Sara had completed specialty training for PMADs. She began the work to educate those around her about the struggles of mental health during pregnancy and after birth. When that wasn’t enough, Sara made the exciting decision to step out on faith. She created The Mindful Mama, a place of mental health counseling, support, and resources for new moms in Kentucky.
