Freedom from Postpartum and Ongoing Anxiety in Motherhood Starts Here
If anxiety, fear, or exhaustion have taken over since becoming a mom, you’re not broken. There’s a science-backed way to feel calm again, enjoy your baby, and create the peaceful motherhood you imagined.
As Seen In…
Hi, I’m Kate.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and certified Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C), and for more than 20 years, I’ve helped mothers find freedom from postpartum and ongoing anxiety—so they can feel calm, confident, and deeply connected to their children.
As the founder of the Parent and Family Wellness Center in Colorado and the creator of The Calm Connection Acce™, I’ve supported over 6,000 women worldwide in soothing their nervous systems, rebuilding trust in themselves, and creating secure, loving relationships with their babies and young children—starting in the earliest, most important years of life.
Today, I work exclusively with driven, high-achieving mothers of young children (ages 0–5) who thought they “should be happy” but instead feel constantly on edge, guilty, and overwhelmed. They love their kids deeply—but their minds won’t turn off, their bodies never seem to relax, and they’re afraid they’re missing the joy and connection they thought motherhood would bring.
Through coaching, education, and neuroscience-based tools, I help mothers quiet the anxious noise, calm their nervous systems, and reconnect with the steady, intuitive part of themselves that knows how to lead with love. The result? A calm mind, a peaceful home, and a securely attached child—without giving up the ambitions that make them who they are.
Because I believe this:
You can be a mother who gets things done and still feels calm, grounded, and patient.
You can have high standards and a soft heart.
You can want more for yourself and be fully present for your child.
When your nervous system is steady, you don’t have to choose between achievement and connection—you finally get to have both.
I live this work every day as a mother of two daughters, the wife of an artist, and a lifelong advocate for maternal and child mental health.
Real Support. Real Tools. Real Change.
You’ve mastered so much—your goals, your home, your ability to get things done.
But motherhood feels different. Less clear. More emotional. Impossible to control.
You want to feel calm and confident with your baby or young child—but instead, you’re anxious, exhausted, and questioning yourself at every turn.
That’s where I come in.
Through science-backed coaching, personal support, and a compassionate community, I help driven, high-achieving mothers find freedom from postpartum and ongoing anxiety—so they can feel steady, grounded, and deeply connected to their children.
When we work together, you will:
• Calm your nervous system and find peace in the uncertainty of motherhood.
• Strengthen your emotional bond with your baby or young child—starting now.
• Feel more grounded, patient, and confident in your role as a mother.
• Trust your instincts instead of second-guessing every decision.
• Stay steady and secure in the moments that matter most—especially the hard ones.
• Release the anxiety and guilt that keep you from enjoying this season of life.
You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to be available 24/7.
You do need the tools to stay emotionally present, steady, and connected—even when life feels unpredictable.
Motherhood will test everything you thought you knew about control, identity, and success.
But it can also unlock a new kind of calm, clarity, and connection—when you have the right support.
With over 20 years of experience in maternal and child mental health—and as the founder of The Calm Connection Accelerator™, the Parent and Family Wellness Center, and the Motherhood Uncut podcast—I bring real-world guidance to help mothers regulate anxiety, rebuild confidence, and raise emotionally thriving children.

it’s time to…
Soothe your nervous system and calm the constant worry.
Find space to breathe again.
Feel safe in the uncertainty of motherhood.
Rediscover your patience and presence.
Build deeper, more secure bonds with your children.
Reconnect with the grounded, confident part of yourself.
Rest deeply and wake with more ease.
Let go of the guilt that keeps you striving for “perfect.”
Redefine what success in motherhood really means.
Finally feel like you again.
You can’t make the unpredictable parts of motherhood disappear. But you can learn to meet them with steadiness, compassion, and calm and to move through your days with energy, clarity, and joy, knowing that both you and your child are okay.
As a mother of a very high-energy boy, I was questioning everything in my motherhood toolbox. I wondered constantly what I should do to be a better parent. I also work full time and I never felt like I had any time for myself. Kate’s workshops and content helped me figure out ways to de-stress and take care of myself… but most importantly, it gave me confidence in myself as a mom. I know that I’ll make mistakes, but I am so fortunate I have a coach in Kate Kripke.

Kate is extremely smart, passionate, and thoughtful, and her support should be required for all mothers.
