I’m Katie Brett.

I’m an IVF nurse turned Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, specializing in Maternal Mental Health.

If you’re here, you’re probably carrying a story that didn’t unfold the way you hoped it would. I’ve been close to those stories for most of my career — and they have shaped me more than I ever expected.

I spent almost a decade as an IVF nurse walking alongside women in some of the most emotionally complex seasons of their lives. I witnessed the hope, the grief, the resilience, the identity shifts, and the quiet fears that rarely get acknowledged. Being invited into that level of vulnerability changed the way I understood women’s mental health forever.

Even outside the fertility clinic, pregnancy and motherhood brought their own internal shifts for me — moments that challenged my sense of self, stretched my emotional capacity, and transformed the way I approached both my personal life and my work.

Those experiences — both professional and deeply human — led me to pursue certification as a PMH-C psychiatric nurse practitioner, specializing in maternal mental health.

Today, I support women through the emotional realities that often get overlooked:

• the grief of another negative cycle

• the fear that shadows pregnancy after loss

• the anxiety that settles into the postpartum months

• the identity shifts that make you feel unfamiliar to yourself

• the pressure to be grateful while quietly struggling

Maybe Motherhood is the space I longed to see in the online world.

A space where the truth is safe to say out loud.
A space where women don’t have to minimize their pain to be seen.
A space where identity shifts aren’t something to hide but something to understand and honor.

Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating IVF, pregnant with cautious hope, grieving a loss, or finding yourself again postpartum — I’m so glad you’re here.

There is room for your whole story.
