Welcome to The Sound of Loneliness Podcast!

This podcast is hosted by Registered Psychotherapist, and Founder & Executive Director of Valley Connections Counselling, Amanda Youssef. 

In this episode, Amanda Youssef is joined by Registered Psychotherapist, Kiara Panetta. Amanda and Kiara have the pleasure of speaking with Hana McConville and Melissa Gallagher, the co-founders of Alma Care. Alma Care is Canada's first postnatal retreat, located in Toronto, Ontario. 

Hana and Melissa walk us through their decision to launch this business as a way to advocate for and redefine the postpartum landscape. They dive into the wealth of services offered by Alma Care and their extensive team. They discuss their own unique postpartum journeys and Hana touches on the cultural practices that inspired the birth of Alma Care. They also touch on the culture shift they hope to work towards as a result of approaching the postpartum period in this way. 

As a way to kick-off Maternal Mental Health Month in May, Amanda and Kiara couldn't think of a better way than to interview two women dedicated to focusing on the health and wellness of new mothers!
