Whether you're a new mom navigating postpartum challenges or an experienced mom who remembers what that season felt like, oPPal is here to connect you.
For new moms, oPPal offers something simple but powerful: consistent, one-on-one check-ins from another mom who truly gets it. You don’t have to search, scroll, or figure it out on your own. Your big oPPal is there for you, reaching out regularly to remind you that you’re not alone.
For experienced moms, oPPal gives you the opportunity to give back in the most meaningful way—by showing up for another woman the way you may have wished someone had shown up for you. You become part of the village that too many moms today go without.
This isn’t therapy. It’s not a content hub or another parenting forum. It’s a real human connection—restoring the kind of village-style support that modern motherhood has lost. We’re rebuilding postpartum care, one mom-to-mom connection at a time.
OUR PURPOSE
MEET MELANIE
I gave birth to my first daughter, Sienna, in 2022. The first few months were harder than I could have imagined or planned for. With all the focus on this beautiful new child, I struggled to take care of myself. I became depressed and anxious. I had dealt with depression in my childhood, but thought at this point in my life, I had overcome that. Nope.
When Sienna was 4 months old, the walls came crashing down on me and I woke up one morning unable to parent. So I left.
I left my husband, my child and 3 of our 4 animals behind. I only took a bag and my dog, Peter, and stayed away from them for multiple nights. Upon my return, I started my path to recovery. I wanted to be the best mom I could be, and the way to do that was not by focusing only on being a mom; it was by taking care of myself first.
Now, in 2025, I have a second daughter, Jade, and my experience has been monumentally different. And with this second experience, a revelation came to me that inspired me to create this program. oPPal is my personal mission to decrease the amount of women who experience postpartum depression and anxiety by creating a preventive care system of support.
