Postpartum Relationship Coaching for Modern Families

What We Do

We coach couples through the transition from partners to parents, so you can stay connected, communicate well, and share the mental load with confidence and teamwork.

Our coaching and workshops help you:

  • Communicate clearly (without fights that spiral).

  • Reconnect emotionally and physically.

  • Rebalance the mental load and expectations.

  • Build a family culture that feels intentional and aligned.

Hey, we’re
Chelsea & Mike Skaggs

Coaches. Parents. Partners. Co-founders of Postpartum Together.

We believe early parenthood doesn’t have to pull couples apart, it can actually make you stronger, closer, and more grounded
than ever. But we didn’t always know that.

There was a day when Chelsea crouched in the kitchen corner, tears falling between feeding schedules and laundry piles and when we both wondered if we were doing this whole thing wrong.

Everyone warned us that we’d be sleep deprived. That our lives would change. But no one warned us how deeply our relationship would be tested.

Suddenly, we weren’t the easy-going couple who laughed our way through weekend coffee dates. We were parents—exhausted, stretched thin, and struggling to communicate without snapping.

Through a lot of trial, honesty, and intention, we learned how to rebuild our connection—to talk without tearing down, to see each other again beneath the overwhelm, and to create a home where we both felt like teammates and lovers.
And now, that’s the foundation of the work we do through Postpartum Together—helping other couples navigate this messy, beautiful season and come out closer than ever.

Postpartum Together exists because modern parents are overloaded.

We ask couples to:

  • Work full-time

  • Raise emotionally intelligent children

  • Heal generational patterns

  • Stay romantically connected

  • And somehow not burn out

We focus specifically on the relationship shift after the baby because this is where many couples quietly drift apart.

Our work centers on:

  • Mental load clarity

  • Communication repair

  • Emotional safety

  • Intimacy after baby

  • Nervous system regulation

We believe strong families are built intentionally — not accidentally.

What We Believe

  • Parenthood is a team sport.

  • You both matter. Your needs, voices, and growth deserve space.

  • You can rebuild closeness—on purpose.

  • Real change happens through small, honest conversations.

This isn’t about “fixing” your marriage—it’s about rewriting how you relate to each other so your love can grow deeper and steadier through every season.

We bring tools from life coaching, psychology, and lived experience to help you strengthen your relationship from the inside out.

Why We’re Not Traditional Therapy

We are coaching-focused and implementation-driven.

We help couples:

  • Learn structured communication tools

  • Practice repair in real time

  • Divide invisible labor clearly

  • Build sustainable connection rituals

If you need trauma therapy or crisis intervention, we’ll refer you appropriately.

If you need structure and skill-building — you’re in the right place.
