When should I take this class?

Anytime during pregnancy is the right time. We recommend starting in the second trimester so you have plenty of time to revisit the materials before birth—but you’ll have lifetime access, so it’s also great for TTC or postpartum reference.

Can my partner or friend watch too?

Yes! We encourage partners, friends, or support people to watch along. The more your team is informed, the more confident and supported you’ll feel.

What if I already have a therapist or a doula?

That’s amazing! This course complements the care you’re already receiving. Think of it as an added layer of support—giving you access to tools, education, and nervous system strategies you can return to anytime.

Maggie Saltiel, LCSW, PMH-C - Founding Psychotherapist & Educator

Fee: $185/ 50 minute session

Hi, Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Maggie. I help women feel safe in their bodies during tender seasons of life. My expertise is supporting women to move through trauma & fear in love, sex, & relationships, fertility/ TTC journeys, birth, loss, and well… life.

My approach as a therapist is relational and authentic. I’m a therapist because I believe in the human experience. I know the grip of trauma and fear, but I am fearless in supporting clients through theirs.

I often say I’m not a worksheets therapist. My sessions with clients are not surface level or cookie cutter. What you’ll find here is a deep curiosity about the wisdom of your story and your nervous system. Together, we’ll listen to that and make space for renegotiation, repair, and resolution of what’s hurting at the deepest level.

The clients I work with often have the insight, have read the books, know the coping skills, and still feel stuck. My role is to co-create a deeply safe space to experience something new- in your body, in relationship, and in life.

I like to keep it real in our sessions, and invite you to do the same! Hopefully we’ll share some laughs too. But most importantly, I care most that I see you, I understand you, and I hold whats hurting with you.

My work is grounded in somatic and attachment-based frameworks, with specialized training in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) and reproductive, perinatal, and infant mental health. I’m certified as a Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) by Postpartum Support International. I bring a trauma-informed lens to all of my work and have robust experience supporting clients experiencing PTSD (acute & complex), anxiety, panic, and OCD. What this means is I am always curious about the stories your nervous system is telling, how your experiences have shaped these stories, and how to be in relationship with those stories in a way that allows you to experience something different.

I am LGBTQ+ affirming and identify as part of the queer community. I’m also half Cuban-American and speak Spanish as a second language. I’m committed to creating a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for all parts of your culture, identity, and background to show up in our sessions.

In my me time, I enjoy latin dancing (salsa & bachata), contemplative writing, and a foamy cappuccino in the morning.

In addition to offering individual psychotherapy, I also teach an online, trauma-informed childbirth ed course and provide consultation and fellowship for clinicians seeking to grow their practice in trauma-informed, attachment-based work.

Work with Maggie

I love working with clients who:

Feel overwhelmed, anxious, scared, or not quite like themselves lately
Are experiencing thoughts that feel scary, intrusive, or unfamiliar and uncomfortable
Have ever been told they’re “too much” or “too sensitive”
Are struggling to process something recent or something long buried
Feel stuck in patterns, triggers, or relationships that they know no longer serve them
Are navigating a major life shift or struggling to step into a new identity
Are somewhere in the thick of a reproductive journey— grappling with infertility, navigating IVF, or somewhere else all together
Have lost a baby and have no idea how to even begin to move through the grief
Are first-time parents feeling anxious, tender, or overwhelmed
Are noticing their own childhood wounds resurface as they parent
Have tried therapy before, are ready to dive deeper, but found traditional talk therapy limited or lacking
Are experiencing physical symptoms like chronic tension, fatigue, or digestive issues, and have a hunch there’s something emotional or nervous system-related underneath

My clients often tell me they return each session not just for the tools or insights, but for the depth of our relationship itself- a space where they feel seen, met, and safe to be fully human.

If that’s what you’re longing for, let’s co-create a home for healing together. I’d be honored to walk with you—please don’t hesitate to reach out.
