## What is Canopie for Parents?

Becoming a mother can feel overwhelming. Canopie makes it possible to overcome the overwhelm by using 3 evidence-based techniques to help you build emotional resilience and mental confidence so that you can:
* soothe your anxious mind
* manage your stress
* show up as the parent, partner, and person you want to be 

Whether you’re struggling with low mood, diagnosed with a perinatal mood disorder like anxiety or depression, or just want to empower yourself with coping tools and mental strength-building techniques to get you through the inevitable ups and downs of motherhood, we can help.

Our curated sessions are personalized for your unique goals, using an expert-formulated and mom-tested blend of clinically-validated therapies proven to prevent and treat postpartum anxiety and depression. Every program will help you gain specific knowledge, tools, and skills to positively transform your behaviors so you begin to find inner calm in spite of the outer chaos that goes along with parenting. As you find relief from stress and anxiety, you’ll cultivate more patience, joy, and energy and see improvements in your life beyond your mood. 

Our sessions are designed with busy moms in mind. We know that worries, fears, and anxieties come at anytime, often when no one else is around or awake. We’re your companion, guide, and cheerleader 24/7.

Rooted in research, we lead with compassion. We’re therapy—on your terms. 

How Canopie’s SIGNATURE CORE PROGRAM works:
- You answer a few questions on your current mood and future goals.
- We curate a 12 day self-guided program to get you to where you want to go. Want better communication with your partner, more sleep, have more control of your emotions, feel less scattered? We’ve got you.
- You commit 12 minutes for 12 days to feel better.

### 5/5 — Useful and well designed

*2026-06-23*

Calming strategies that make you feel more supported during pregnancy and postpartum. Well designed program, easy to navigate resource guide, and classes to sign up for. The app makes it easy to keep everything organized and is filtered to include credible stories and information. Definitely helpful and did not feel overloaded with information. I listen to the program and videos during morning walks. 

Only note is to include the dates/times when looking to sign up for classes, and more ways to filter or keep track of where you were before you clicked the class.

### 5/5 — Loving this app!

*2026-06-16, version 5.9.41*

I’m really enjoying this app as I prepare for my second baby! It’s really grounding and calming.

### 5/5 — Well designed app

*2026-06-10, version 5.9.37*

Highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Wonderful app for pregnancy and postpartum

*2026-06-10, version 5.9.37*

I found this app super helpful. I particularly enjoyed the live classes on a variety of pregnancy and postpartum topics. The postpartum programs are also very amazing to support mental health for new moms. I’d highly recommend Canopie.

### 5/5 — Assistance

*2026-05-19, version 5.9.37*

I was struggling more with PPD after having a higher risk second pregnancy close to my first and this really helped me recenter my mind, and realize a lot of truths about my brain I had never learned and then gave me tools to combat the negativity

### 5/5 — Loving Canopie

*2026-05-05, version 5.9.6*

The app offers some great self-led guidance as well as an easy way to sign up for classes. I’ve attended around 5 now and they have been incredibly helpful. They also come with a guidance document that you can save and reference later. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Tool box

*2026-04-29, version 5.9.6*

I’m a mama expecting baby number 2. I experienced postpartum depression after having my first and I didn’t feel like I received the help or support that I needed. My husband wanted to help but didn’t know what to do. At one point he (lovingly) said “you’re not yourself” and he was right. I feel more equipped this time just knowing I have this app in my tool box and will have the opportunity to familiarize myself with it ahead of time.

### 5/5 — Amazing app for maternal mental health

*2026-04-24, version 5.9.6*

As a second time mom and knowing the challenges that are ahead, I feel better knowing I’m getting a head start on taking care of my mental health. So far the lessons have been really informative and I’ve learned quite a bit. I’d love to see some lessons tailored to second time+ moms to get more of that perspective.

### 5/5 — Excellent Customer Service

*2026-04-23*

I honestly didn’t use the lessons, and only met with a Canopie/LunaJoy person virtually twice, but Canopie still gets a five-star review, and I’ll tell you why. I have a great personal support system and medical/therapy team, so the help from Canopie felt redundant, but if you’re not as lucky as me? Canopie would be INVALUABLE! Secondly, I had a customer service issue that Canopie responded to most generously and rapidly. My insurance app inaccurately showed that I would owe over $300 for my virtual Canopie meeting, and I sent an email to complain and request the supposed charge be cancelled. Canopie very quickly responded, explained that their grants cover the part insurance doesn’t cover so it IS free to me—but they sent me a $25 Visa gift card to make up for the stress I experienced before they responded! Honestly, above and beyond customer service game. And that’s on top of an app that genuinely provides useful services to postpartum parents who don’t already have the medical, therapeutic and personal support I have.

### 5/5 — Great app for new moms!

*2026-04-22, version 5.9.6*

Very calling and super easy to use. I love this app.
