Flora's Walk London, Ontario

THIS is why better support for new moms should be STANDARD practice. One check in on her uterus and vaginal healing at 6 weeks is NOT enough. A woman's brain chemistry literally changes when she becomes pregnant and goes through labour and delivery and the postpartum period. It is incredibly difficult even with a strong support system. Women without a support system are being set up for failure.

This is why Flora's Walk is so important to me. Moms deserve so much better so that we can be there for our children. Happy, healthy children NEED happy, healthy moms.

I am one of the LUCKY ones. I had incredible support from my husband and my family doctor while I struggled with postpartum anxiety and depression. I came out the other side, relatively quickly. I am currently 37 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and my support team is in place to help me navigate this second postpartum period and hopefully avoid depression this time.

I am so thankful this mom kept her baby safe. I also hope that she is safe and someone can find her and get her the help that she needs.

Moms need more.

Sign up to walk and donate so that we can help moms get more.

Our planning committee last year really wanted to be able to bring the walk to a more central location this year. We're so pleased that we will be right in the heart of downtown London for this year's Flora's Walk.

We are hopeful this will bring it more foot traffic via curious Londoners and help us spread the message on the day of the walk.

A huge thank you to for their generous donation to our walk.

The funds raised go towards services in our community that provide much needed perinatal mental health support.
london provides a multitude of services to low income families in the perinatal phase of life. They will be using a portion of the funds we raise to ensure these families can receive these vital services in a timely manner.

will be using a portion of the funds raised to provide doula services to a family. Doula services are shown to lessen anxiety experienced by new moms.



-----------------

We are still looking for sponsors. With the walk coming up this Saturday, May 4th, help us in our final push to raise $5000 and help families in our community.

Please reach out if you are interested in sponsoring! Send a DM!
