Couples

Parenting often highlights the weak points in our relationships. Whether it is communication, conflict management, delegating household chores, or trusting the other person, these weak points often get strained with a new member of the family.

Trying to grow your family can also place unexpected pressure on a relationship, particularly when infertility becomes part of the journey. Partners may experience grief, uncertainty, and fertility-related decisions differently. Our article about secondary infertility and its emotional impact explores why trying for another child can feel so isolating, even when you are navigating the experience together.

At the Motherhood Wellness Clinic, we believe that healthy families begin with healthy parents. We are here to help support you and your partner in strengthening your relationship so you can parent as a team and enjoy each other and your children.

The Motherhood Wellness Clinic offers multiple services including couples therapy, fair play couples work and parent coaching to help you and your partner get on the same page in all areas of your family.

Relationship stress is often only one part of what a mother may be carrying. For individual support with overwhelm, anxiety, identity, parenting stress, or the mental load of family life, learn more about our therapy for moms.

Fair Play Couples Work

Fair Play Couples Work is a system developed by Eve Rodsky aimed at helping couples balance household and family responsibilities equitably and efficiently. The Fair Play system involves breaking down household tasks into specific "cards" or categories, such as childcare, housework, and finances, and assigning responsibility for each card to one partner.

The system emphasizes clear communication, respect, and shared decision-making between partners. Couples work together to create a personalized plan that works for them and allows them to feel more balanced and fulfilled in their roles within the household. The goal is to create a system where both partners feel empowered and respected, leading to a stronger and more equitable partnership.

Overall, Fair Play Couples Work aims to challenge traditional gender roles and encourage a more equal distribution of domestic responsibilities in heterosexual couples.

Parent Coaching

Parent coaching is a type of coaching that focuses on helping parents develop the skills and tools they need to raise happy, healthy, and well-adjusted children. Parent coaches work with parents to identify areas where they may be struggling or feeling overwhelmed and provide guidance and support to help them build stronger, more positive relationships with their children.

Parent coaching typically involves a combination of one-on-one sessions with the coach, as well as practical exercises and homework assignments to help parents apply what they've learned in their daily lives. By working with a parent coach, parents can gain the tools and confidence they need to raise happy, healthy, and well-adjusted children.
