Life After Birth Psychology is a practice based in South Fremantle, Western Australia, that supports women through conception, pregnancy and motherhood. Its work covers perinatal depression and anxiety, birth trauma, grief, relationships, and bonding and attachment. It is led by principal psychologist and owner Yara Heary.
Yara started the practice after her own difficult transition to motherhood led her to study matrescence, trauma and the nervous system. She holds a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and an Applied Master of Clinical Psychology from Murdoch University. The practice runs online communities, including MotherHeld, for mothers who want to feel less alone.
