Kate Kripke, LCSW, PMH-C
Maternal Mental Health Specialist & Parenting Coach
This is more than parenting. Itβs the beginning of your lifelong relationship.
Build joyful, secure attachments with your kids while continuing to pursue your dreams outside of motherhood
As Seen Inβ¦
Hi, Iβm Kate.
Iβm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and certified Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C) and Iβve spent the last 20+ years helping mothers raise emotionally healthy kids while staying connected to the work and purpose that lights them up.
As the founder of the Parent and Family Wellness Center in Boulder, and the creator of The Calm Connection Systemβ’, Iβve supported over 6,000 women around the world in building deep, secure, loving relationships with their childrenβstarting in the earliest, most important years of life.
Today, I work exclusively with high-achieving, career-driven mothers of young children (ages 0β5) who are worried theyβre not forming the kind of bond their children need to feel safe, seen, and loved. These women want to show up for their kidsβbut theyβre overwhelmed, overextended, and afraid theyβre getting it wrong.
Through coaching, education, and neuroscience-based tools, I guide mothers to quiet the anxiety, drop the guilt, and reconnect with the steady, intuitive part of themselves that knows how to lead with love. I help them create relationships with their children that are emotionally rich, secure, and lastingβwithout giving up their ambitions.
Because I believe this:
You donβt have to choose between your purpose and your presence.
You can raise resilient, secure, emotionally thriving kidsβand still do the work you were born to do.
I live this work every day as a mother of two daughters, the wife of an artist, and a lifelong advocate for maternal and child mental health.
Real Support. Real Tools. Real Change.
Youβve mastered so muchβyour work, your goals, your ability to get things done. But motherhood feels different. Less clear. More emotional. Harder to control.
You long to build a secure, loving relationship with your child⦠but right now you feel anxious, burned out, and unsure how.
Thatβs where I come in.
Through science-backed coaching, personal support, and a strong community, I help high-achieving mothers create calm, confident bonds with their childrenβwithout giving up their careers, purpose, or sense of self.
When we work together, you will:
Strengthen your emotional bond with your baby or young childβstarting now.
Feel calmer, more grounded, and confident in your role as a mother.
Trust your instincts instead of second-guessing every decision.
Stay steady and secure in the moments that matter mostβespecially the hard ones.
Release anxiety about your childβs development and emotional well-being.
Feel accomplished and aligned in both your motherhood and your meaningful work.
You donβt need to be perfect. You donβt need to be available 24/7.
You do need the tools to stay emotionally present, steady, and connectedβeven when life gets chaotic.
Motherhood will test everything you thought you knew about control, identity, and success.
But it can also unlock a new kind of leadership, clarity, and loveβwhen you have the right support.
With over 20 years of experience in maternal mental healthβand as founder of The Calm Connection Systemβ’, the Parent and Family Wellness Center, and the Motherhood Uncut podcastβI bring real-world guidance to help ambitious mothers raise emotionally thriving kids while continuing to lead, create, and grow.

Redefine the concept of "Supermom.
There is no way to make the stressful parts of being a mom go away. But there is a way to learn how to respond to those bumps throughout the process so that you feel okay (and trust that your kids are okay), achieve what you want to achieve, and move through life with energy, joy, ease grace.
As a mother of a very high-energy boy, I was questioning everything in my motherhood toolbox. I wondered constantly what I should do to be a better parent. I also work full time and I never felt like I had any time for myself. Kateβs workshops and content helped me figure out ways to de-stress and take care of myselfβ¦ but most importantly, it gave me confidence in myself as a mom. I know that Iβll make mistakes, but I am so fortunate I have a coach in Kate Kripke.

The invaluable lessons and strategies I learned from Kate have opened me up to a new world of possibility- one where I have much more confidence in my ability to handle life's stressors, promote lasting chance, and increase joy and abundance in my life. Kate is extremely smart, passionate, and thoughtful, and her support should be required for all mothers.
