Review Quotes

"As a psychologist who works exclusively with pregnant and postpartum people, I have spent years looking for a workbook that can help support the adjustment to motherhood. The search is over. This workbook is a gift for all mothers seeking to find peace, joy, and meaning in their day-to-day experiences, and helps readers learn more about themselves in the process." --Katherine Taylor, PsyD, MPH, PMH-C

"It is clear that Dr. Rojas understands what it's like to be a new mom! Self-Love Workbook for First-Time Moms is full of meaningful bite-sized skills-building exercises to address some of the more common early experiences of motherhood that we are often afraid to talk about. The workbook has a warm and accepting approach that helps the reader feel cared for, which is why I recommend it to any new mom." --Alinne Barrera, clinical psychologist/professor and creator of the Mothers and Babies Online Course (www.emb.health)

"Not only is the look of this workbook beautiful, but Dr. Rojas' words are, too. She captures the essence of self-love in an easy-to-understand way and gives moms real-life tools to put into practice. As a maternal mental health provider myself, I highly recommend this workbook to women at any stage of motherhood." --Marnie Levenson, LPCC, PMH-C, founder of Becoming Mothers Counseling

"This is not your average workbook. In a structured, yet creative and flexible style, Elsa holds the reader accountable for self-love while remaining compassionate to every stage of a new (and experienced) mother's transition. I love that it can be read in either a cover-to-cover, or random-pick-up-and-choose-a-page approach and still be incredibly inspiring, engaging, and effective. It's a must-read for all mothers." --Alexandra T. Milspaw, Ph.D., M.Ed., LPC
