Mission

To educate pregnant and postpartum women and their partners, healthcare professionals, employers, and the general curious public about the most profound and impactful physical, physiological, and emotional changes that occur during and after pregnancy. Further, it is our intention to provide the tools to identify, embrace, and prepare for these changes and face them with compassion, strength, and dignity.

Meet Angie

Pregnancy and Motherhood change a woman’s life and Angie believes that women should know exactly what is happening to their bodies during these life-changing processes. She started Mommy Brain EDU to share current and relevant peer-reviewed research examining the changes that occur during pregnancy, the postpartum, and during the journey to becoming a mother.

These topics are fairly new to the scientific community and rarely reach the individuals that need the information.

Angie’s curiosity and desire to understand the realities of the people around her led her to earn a Masters and Doctorate in Psychology from Tufts University and then to teach psychology at the undergraduate and graduate level.

Her love of the brain and her ability to translate scientific research into a palatable and useful message is unique. This ability and her experience becoming a mother has fuelled a passion to educate pregnant and postpartum women and their partners, healthcare professionals, employers, and the general curious public about the most profound and impactful physical, physiological, and emotional changes that occur during and after pregnancy. Angie has passionately and meticulously created workshops and talks to educate and empower these individuals.

This education and the tools and exercises Angie shares will profoundly change the way these individuals view women and their experiences creating a new human.

Angie currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, daughter, dog, cat, and fish. Get in touch!

"Angie’s presentations are always informative, they give clarity to many, and her insightful suggestions encourage our new mothers to be gentler with themselves as they adjust to their own unique style of mothering. Her talks are the perfect topic for our new mothers, and we are so fortunate to have had her here to regularly present such heartfelt, open, intelligent, and relevant presentations. Each talk has led to such meaningful discussions, and it’s been wonderful to have her expertise on such a very overlooked and underrepresented topic. She has a natural ability to translate scientific research into an easy to digest presentation with such a genuine and honest disposition allowing her to connect on an intimate level with our new mothers. She will surely be missed by all."

"I absolutely loved your message about how brain function literally changes for women after children. It was always hard for me to understand women with children and how much emphasis and stress they put on things pertaining to their children. Even just the little things! After listening to the medical research and detailed information you presented, along with my own new-mom experience.... it definitely makes sense that our brains change once we have our own children. It was a very thoughtful and realistic message!"

"Angie came to the Mom's group that was offered at the hospital where I gave birth. She gave a presentation on women's brains before and after birth. It was a very informative class. I did not know what your brain and body goes through before and after birth and it helped me understand how to adapt to these new changes in my life, in addition to taking care of a new baby. She also explained that as new mothers, we do need to take time for ourselves, which I think many of struggle with. I enjoyed taking this class."

"Angie’s talk really made everything click for me as it explained how my brain has literally changed with having a child. It taught me to be more sympathetic to these changes and to be more patient with my brain, as it is functioning in a way that allows me to be a good mom. This talk was useful to me as a Mom of a 2-year-old and as an expectant Mom to a baby due in July. I think I’ll definitely be more tuned into and sympathetic to the effects of the physiological changes happening this time around!"
