Dr. Nicole Kumi (PhD, PMH-C),is the CEO and founder of The Whole Mom, a maternal wellness organization specializing in perinatal transitional coaching, assisting mothers with preparing their mental health as they transition from pregnancy into the fourth trimester. In 2018 Nicole found herself on the other side of the behavioral healthcare system, needing services after being diagnosed with Postpartum Depression, and it was during this time that she realized how little discussion there was around perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, as well as the challenges in finding the right type of services for what she was experiencing. Once she was able to improve her mental and emotional health,she shifted into the maternal mental health space, providing education, support, and information to moms about the mental health aspect of postpartum, in an effort to reduce the stigma of pmad’s, raise awareness, and empower moms to seek help. Nicole’s services range from 1:1 coaching, on demand courses, and virtual moms community to meet each mother where she is on her journey and allow her to effectively transition into her new role, and redefine herself as a mom.
Nicole has written and published two books about motherhood and mental health. Both are available on Amazon:
PostPartum My Language. My true account of the fourth trimester. 2019
Butterfly Mama. 2022
