The fourth trimester—the 12 weeks after birth—is one of the most transformative (and challenging) times in a mother’s life. Yet, 85% of moms experience distress.*

The best way to thrive in motherhood is to prepare before it begins — and we’re here to make sure you’re supported every step of the way.

Our 8-week, research-backed courses give you:

Kathryn Ost

Location Owner | Washington Park

Kathryn is a Denver mom to a fun-loving toddler and has called Colorado home for 9 years, most recently settling into life in Platt Park. Before becoming the owner of New Mom School Washington Park, she led Account Management and Operations teams at fast-growing startups. That work taught her how to truly listen to people’s needs and build something real around them.

Her own postpartum experience was harder than she ever expected. In those early weeks, she felt more overwhelmed than she’d ever been, and the support she leaned on changed everything (for the better). That experience gave her a firsthand understanding of what it means to truly need support, and how life-changing it is to receive it.

She’s opening New Mom School Washington Park because she believes every mother deserves a village, not just as an idea, but as a real network of people who show up. Her work is rooted in bringing trusted medical care and modern postpartum support together, so Denver moms can move through the transition into motherhood feeling held, instead of alone. Kathryn’s mission is simple: Empower moms to know that what they’re feeling is real and they don’t have to carry it alone.

This class was so much more than I even hoped for! The mom tribe I made, the lessons learned, and the parenting confidence I gained will be with me for years to come. If you're wondering whether to sign up, I couldn't recommend anything more.

OB/GYN

Much emphasis is placed on the third trimester when we see pregnant women weekly. As obstetricians, we realize the need for more support after birth, and New Mom School helps bridge that gap. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all of my pregnant patients.
