Our Story
The inspiration for The HIVE Maternal Wellness Center was both personal and professional.
The founder, Kimberly Sennet is a survivor of postpartum depression, which she experienced after the birth of her second child. However, she did not realize it until years later, while working as a midwife and hearing the stories of many other women. She noticed a large number of women with significant mental health needs in the perinatal period. Yet, as a midwife, she was not adequately equipped to provide these women the services they needed. She also observed that other women's health providers faced the same barriers and challenges.
Recognition of this profound lack of mental health support and treatment options for women, especially racialized women, led her back to graduate school.
Shortly thereafter, the concept of The HIVE was born.
