PhDr. Ivana Poku

Dr. Ivana Poku is a postnatal depression activist, author, motivational speaker, and award-winning motherhood coach.

Originally from Slovakia, Ivana moved to England at the age of 29. After becoming a mother, she suffered major postnatal depression.

But sadly, she soon understood she was not the only one struggling. Even if it doesn't go as far as depression, becoming a mother is a huge change and far from how it is often presented on media.

Ivana believes that one of the main reasons many mums struggle - even if it does not go as far as depression - is unrealistic expectations about motherhood.

After she pulled through postnatal depression, Ivana set up Mumsjourney and has been on the mission to break the stigma around postnatal depression and stop new mums from struggling this disease ever since
