The Perinatal

Wellness Centre

The Village to support you and your family in your journey through the perinatal period.

Our approach

At The Perinatal Wellness Centre, we believe in wellness for everyone. We believe that your needs are important, and we know how challenging things can get - especially during the perinatal period. Whether it’s changes, hurdles, or just finding yourself in a new situation, you need the support to thrive!

Providing you with a safe space to address your perinatal needs

We created a space that is inviting, comforting, and exciting to be in. A place where you can have all your needs addressed under one roof, and where you are more than welcome to bring your children.

In-person and remote options

Our office is conveniently located in Dartmouth. Can’t make it into the office? No worries – we’ve got you covered with online sessions.
