Navigating Motherhood with Sensitivity and Strength

✨ About This Blog

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

This blog is a space for the women who feel everything—deeply, instinctively, and all at once. For the mothers raising spirited, sensitive, or neurodiverse children. For those who are learning how to parent with confidence while honoring the complexity of their own inner world.

I’m Dr. Melissa Fellin—a neurodiverse, highly sensitive mom of three incredible neurodiverse kids. I’m also a therapist, academic, and Founder of Bloom: Child & Family Therapy. Through my work and my life, I’ve met so many women who are navigating motherhood, identity, and professional life with big hearts and bold minds—often without a roadmap.

This blog is for you.

Here, you’ll find honest reflections, practical insights, and gentle encouragement for:

• Parenting sensitive, neurodiverse, or fiery children with confidence and compassion
• Embracing your own sensitivity and neurodiversity as strengths
• Finding yourself in the mess and magic of motherhood
• Balancing life as a woman, a mother, and a professional—with grace and grit

This is a space to feel seen, supported, and inspired. A place to land softly after long days, and to rise stronger for the ones ahead.

For the beauty in difference—and the love that shapes it,
Melissa
