napro technologies
Obstetrician Dr. Kathleen Sander is one of only a few Pope Paul VI Institute NaPRO TECHNOLOGIES fellows in the country.

postpartum depression
The Bella provider team, led by CMO Dr. Sarah Hodack, understands the stresses of having a new baby, as our providers are mothers themselves.
Bella adopts advanced natural techniques to regulate hormones following pregnancy - so that you can feel good and focus on your new baby.
stay ahead of POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION
Do not hesitate to request an appointment earlier than the 6-week follow up if you are experiencing postpartum depression. Please let our office know that you are calling because you’re concerned about PPD. Please also share how serious your concern (e.g. concerns about harm to self or baby should be seen same day).
Often, postpartum depression can feel more like feeling “flat” or “foggy,” rather than the traditional “sad.” Because of the enormous changes happening in your body, it is not uncommon for even women who have never experienced clinical depression before to wrestle with postpartum blues. These are the women who often wait five or six months to seek help.
There are effective treatment options, with Bella leading the way in hormone therapies as additional treatment options instead of or in addition to antidepressants.
