Meet Danielle, the Heart Behind New Mom School Katy
New Mom School Katy is led by Danielle, a certified New Mom School instructor and mom of 3. For Danielle, bringing New Mom School to Katy wasn’t just a professional decision — it was deeply personal.
The journey to bringing New Mom School to Katy began with the birth of my second daughter, Kenzie. My first daughter, Callyn’s, delivery in the spring of 2021 was very by the book for a first time mom. It took a little while for her to join us as expected, but there were no complications and we left the hospital happy and healthy a few days later. Quite honestly, looking back I now realize it was something we very much took for granted. We didn’t know any better. We didn’t know how simple and easy we had it. Callyn was a very easy baby, good sleeper, and fit into our lives just ever so seamlessly.
WIth my second daughter, Kenzie, following a seemingly smooth delivery, Kenzie’s health took a critical turn that required immediate medical intervention and a month-long stay in the NICU, where at times we were unsure if our beautiful baby girl would make it or what her quality of life would look like. Faced with fear, uncertainty, and the pressure to advocate fiercely for Kenzie’s care, Danielle wrestled with guilt, anxiety, and the challenges of balancing my roles as a mother to both daughters. Ultimately, Kenzie overcame her health challenges, and is the happiest and healthiest little girl. She was walking at 9 months old and hasn’t stopped running since.
“I have become a huge advocate for perinatal counseling and postpartum care. If it weren’t for a wonderful therapist, trauma/ptsd therapy, an incredible husband and family support – I don’t know how long it would have taken for the real me to come back.”
Danielle knows firsthand how life-changing it can be to have a space where moms feel seen, heard, and truly supported — and that’s exactly what she’s creating here in Katy. Her goal is to offer not only expert guidance and education, but also a place where lifelong friendships and genuine community can grow.
“Through all I experienced, I can now turn my passion for postpartum care into something that can help other moms in our community. It is a resource that is lacking and very needed.”
With a background in postpartum education and a passion for maternal wellness, Danielle is on a mission to change the narrative for new moms in Texas — starting with one powerful, supportive village at a time.
Why the 4th Trimester Deserves More Support
The fourth trimester — the first three months after birth — is an intense, emotional, and often isolating time. 85% of new moms experience some level of postpartum distress, and 1 in 7 will face postpartum depression. Danielle and the team at New Mom School are here to change that.
Through a structured, 8-week series, moms are placed in small, closed groups with others whose babies are the same age. Classes are 90 minutes long and feature local expert speakers on everything from lactation and infant sleep to maternal mental health, pelvic floor therapy, and more.
But perhaps the most powerful part? The community. Moms form deep bonds with each other, often staying connected long after the class ends.
