Canopie for Parents

This app has seriously been everything to me. I am a new mom, and totally underestimated just how this would change me. I thought it was going to be rosier. But I’ve had really hard days. Lots of tears. Lots of wondering if I could do this. I’m so glad a friend recommended Canopie because it’s been a life-saver. I use it to help me fall asleep after nighttime feedings (that’s when my anxiety seems to be the worst). I use the quick boosts when I’m spiraling. I’ve learned some really amazing ways to calm myself when I start to go into a dark place which is empowering. So even if I don’t have the app with me, I can still use the breathing techniques and practices to simmer down. Immensely grateful for this app and hope more moms discover it!

Therapy is not an option for me, and these techniques have been a lifesaver.

I liked how short but insightful the sessions were. A lot of insights I already take with me. There aren’t great resources for parents out there that aren’t really noisy, so I appreciate that this isn’t overwhelming.

The only thing I wish is that I had found this app sooner! Even just as I was signing up, I felt heard. The types of questions they ask show that these people really know what it’s like to be a new mom struggling. I’ve done therapy before, but this made the techniques so tangible and relatable to what I was going through. I’m also not a big woo woo meditation person, but I found the relaxation sessions actually worked for me! Thank you for being there for me :)

Do yourselves a favor new parents and get this app. Partners and those who just gave birth, this will help understand the mental and physiological changes that are happening.

I am a full-time working mother of two and needless to say I’m overwhelmed. Whether it’s what’s going on in the world right now or just being a mom, I’ve been struggling with anxiety and even rage. I’ve been using this app for a while and it works. Yes, sometimes I do need just to hit the reset button but I do think I’m checking myself and my reactions to the craziness more often now. So grateful to have this in my pocket. Even started recommending it to my new mom friends. Thank you Canopie!

I heard about Canopie from my OB-GYN office - saw a flyer on the wall at my annual visit and sent it to my daughter who is two weeks postpartum. Like most new moms, she seemed overwhelmed and stressed and I was desperate for her to get help despite her saying she didn’t need it. She was receptive to an app and since she started using it, I have noticed a huge change in her! I know she uses it often and has mentioned she’s doing one of their programs and sometimes their short segments. I wish I knew more details, but I think every mom (and grandma!) needs to know about just how helpful this app is!

Before finding Canopie, I had been looking into online therapy to help with postpartum anxiety, but between finding the right fit, cost, and scheduling—which felt impossible with my daughter’s nap/sleep schedule at the time—I gave up on finding a therapist. At my baby’s 4 month checkup, my daughter’s pediatrician recommended Canopie. The program was appealing because it allowed for flexibility and only required about 10 minutes a day. I was skeptical of the seemingly obvious exercises, but it turned out to be exactly what I needed.

When you’re on maternity leave and you’re stuck at home with a crying baby who just spit up all over you after you finally found the world to get dressed, it can really help to have an outside voice telling you that this is normal or that you deserve grace or that you’re doing the best job that you can. I really appreciated listening to the modules in this app during my leave with my second. It’s very easy to get into your own head and I even re-listened to some of the lessons that just helped remind me that my hormones were changing and that we weren’t meant to take care of a baby alone. It’s definitely hard to invest in yourself during this time but I highly recommend taking ten minutes of your day for this. You deserve grace.

I really loved the first few sessions but now the app won’t open and it only shows the brand’s logo. The app is not responsive. Would like to continue using it once the bug is fixed!
