The NICU journey is hard. Don't do it alone.
A private, expert-led space designed for NICU parents at any stage - because the impact of neonatal care lasts far beyond the hospital stay.
No one prepares you for the NICU journey
When your baby is born needing neonatal care, your world changes instantly. Fear, isolation, medical jargon, and the constant unknowns - it’s an experience that few truly understand.
And even after discharge, the journey isn’t over. Health anxiety, trauma, developmental worries, and the weight of everything you've been through can linger for months or even years.
That’s why we created The NICU Space - a specialist-led support community designed for parents navigating NICU, the transition home, and life beyond.

“This is the support I didn’t know I needed.”
"I thought I was supposed to just get on with it after NICU. But I still struggled - health anxiety, feeling disconnected, and constantly waiting for something to go wrong. The NICU Space gave me the expert guidance, community, and reassurance I needed to finally breathe again. I didn’t have to figure it all out alone anymore - help was right there when I needed it."
