If you searched for “MARSHA Care,” you are likely looking for support, answers, or a place that understands the invisible weight many women carry.

At MARSHA Care, we believe women deserve more than quick fixes or being told to “just push through.” We believe your story deserves care, context, and connection.

Some chapters of life feel empowering. Others feel overwhelming, isolating, or heavy. Pregnancy. Postpartum. Fertility struggles. Perimenopause. Anxiety. Trauma. Relationship stress. Identity shifts. Grief. Burnout.

You are not meant to carry those chapters alone.

Why ADHD is missed, what it really looks like, and how to get support

Many women and mothers live for years feeling overwhelmed, scattered, disorganized, or “not enough” without realizing ADHD may be part of the picture. Because research historically focused on hyperactive boys, the experiences of girls, women, and mothers were overlooked. Today we recognize that ADHD does not have one “look,” and that many women struggle with symptoms that have been misunderstood or misdiagnosed.

We will explore why ADHD is often missed, what symptoms look like in women and moms, how it affects daily life and relationships, and what support and treatments can help.

Bringing a baby home is often described as one of the happiest moments of life. But for many mothers, another feeling quietly appears alongside that joy: anxiety.

You might find yourself constantly checking if your baby is breathing.

You may replay decisions you made during pregnancy or birth.

Even when your baby is sleeping peacefully, your mind may stay on high alert.

Many mothers eventually ask the same question:

“Why do I feel so anxious after having a baby?”

The truth is that postpartum anxiety is extremely common. In fact, research suggests that up to 1 in 5 mothers experience significant anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum.

I’m a mom in Ontario who had a hard birth and now feels anxious, overwhelmed, and not like myself — what kind of therapy would actually help?

If you’re asking this question, here’s the straight answer first:

What you’re feeling is common after a hard birth — and no, you don’t need to just “give it time.”
The right kind of therapy can help you feel like yourself again, often faster and more effectively than talk therapy alone.

Giving birth can change everything, your body, your relationships, and the way you see the world. But when the experience is filled with fear, pain, or loss of control, it can also change how you see yourself.

If you find that moments from your birth replay in your mind, your body reacts before you can think, or you feel detached from your baby or emotions — you may be carrying birth trauma. It’s more common than most people realize, and recognizing it is the first step to healing.
