Ashley Pike is a mom to two young girls, who light up her life and challenge her every day. After her first child was born in 2017, Ashley knew something wasn’t right. She was eventually diagnosed with  postpartum depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. It is this lived experience which inspires her to advocate for perinatal mental health promotion in Newfoundland and Labrador. Her goal is to normalize perinatal mood disorders and ensure those who are experiencing symptoms know they are not alone, and that support is available.
