RÓ (PRONOUNCED ‘ROH’) MEANS CALM IN ICELANDIC.

Help for the days that feel like
too much.

Practical help for new mothers who feel anxious or overwhelmed, from someone who's been there.

Can't switch off even when the baby is asleep?

Maybe you look at your phone and end up feeling like everyone else is coping better. Maybe the day hasn't started and you already feel behind. I've been there. Nothing here asks you to do more. It's just meant to make the day a bit easier to get through.

THE WORKBOOK

It’s Not You, It’s Everything

A gentle guide and workbook for new moms with short chapters on why the early months feel so hard, tools for the anxious moments, small anchors for mornings and evenings, and space to write things down.

I was born and raised in Iceland but I’ve been living in Sweden for many years. I have a Swedish husband and we are raising our two kids in Stockholm.

After my daughter was born I developed postpartum depression, and for a while everything felt like too much. Ró is what I wish someone had given me back then.
