Between sessions, your perinatal clients are riding waves you never see. Cradled gives you a six-domain wellbeing trend, partner context, and a heads-up when things slip — so you walk into the next session with a week of signal, not a blank slate.
Get startedThe between-sessions gap
Perinatal clients live in extremes between sessions — two sleepless nights, a feeding regression, a partner conflict, a rough check-up. By the time she sits down on your couch again, she's filtering through fog to tell you what happened. Her first ten minutes are recap, not work.
And on the business side — intake forms, session scheduling, invoicing, consent paperwork — the tools you're using weren't built for perinatal practice, or for anything else, really. Generic CRMs, free trial hell, spreadsheets.
Cradled closes both gaps. Your client tracks herself daily; you see the shape of her week before she walks in.
Between-session visibility
Self-report data is imperfect. But a week of self-report is far more useful than ten minutes of recall.
Daily self-reports across mood, energy, body, support, comfort, and bonding. Takes her 30 seconds. You see each domain as a trend — where she's stable, where she's slipping.
Three days of scores below the threshold you set, or seven days without any check-in, and Cradled flags it. You know before your next session, not after.
Perinatal distress is a household signal. When she opts in, you see her partner's own check-in trends too — stress, coping, connection. The whole system, not just her.
Log what was covered. Write a plain-language summary she can see, or private reflections she can't. Your notes stay yours; her version reads like a clear takeaway.
She can log what happened with her OB, midwife, or pediatrician and share it with you. You walk in knowing the medication change, the diagnosis update, the bloodwork result.
Daily reminders at a time she picks. Built into the app she uses for everything else postpartum — not a separate ‘mental health’ thing that fades.
Practice management
We're not replacing your EHR — we're covering the scheduling, intake, invoicing, and client-facing pieces that most therapy tools force into a separate subscription.
Set your availability. Clients book via link or in-app. Syncs to your Google Calendar; no double-bookings, no email ping-pong.
Build your intake + consent forms once, send with one click, client e-signs on any device. Organized by date, auto-filed to her profile.
Session fees, packages, sliding scale. Send invoices with a payment link; track paid/overdue. Stripe, e-transfer, cash — whatever your clients pay with. Zero platform fee.
Build your own intake questionnaire — perinatal history, support system, previous treatment, goals. Send before session one. Her answers sit with her profile, searchable and editable.
Collaborate on goals between sessions — grounding practices, sleep hygiene, connection rituals. She tracks progress; you see where goals stick and where they stall.
Inquiry → consultation → active → follow-up → graduated. One view. Add managed clients who aren't on the app yet — intake, notes, invoicing all work. When they sign on, their file comes with them.
Keep every dollar you charge
Your Stripe account, your money. Deposits land directly in your bank. No platform cut, no markup. Stripe's standard processing fee is the only deduction. Prefer e-transfer or direct deposit? Track those too, zero cost.
Most therapy platforms charge a subscription plus 2-5% per session payment. On a 40-session year at $180 a session, that gap pays for a holiday.
The whole system
You're not just treating a person; you're working inside a shifting household. The app gives you visibility across all of it.
The partner gets his own check-in, his own daily tip, his own readiness plan. When a partner-led intervention is part of your plan, you have a tool to make it real.
Her support circle is the scaffolding perinatal recovery needs. Cradled helps her ask for what she needs without asking — meals, quiet hours, check-ins. You work on the internal; the village handles the external.
Pregnancy and postpartum content framed around what's hard, not what's ‘normal.’ Written by doulas and perinatal workers, not AI. Support between sessions without clinical claims.
Her medical appointments, partner check-ins, daily trends, village activity, and your session notes all live in one place. Not five browser tabs. You never lose the thread.
Privacy first: your client controls exactly what you see. Summary, scores, or full trends — her call, changeable anytime. You never see more than she's comfortable sharing.
The unfair advantage
Cradled is built mom-first. Your client doesn't open it because you asked her to — she opens it because it helps her. That's why the self-report data actually exists when you need it.
Daily check-in, weekly content, village coordination, partner journey. The practices you talk about in session have a place to live the other six days.
Self-report tools fail when they feel like homework. Cradled is a postpartum app she's using anyway — the check-in is a 30-second moment, not a task.
He has his own login, his own daily tip, his own mental-health resources. No ‘let me read you this email from Sarah's therapist’ moments.
When your time together wraps, she keeps the app. Her village, her history, her tools — nothing cuts off the day she graduates from your caseload.
Giving your client Cradled is a gift, not a cost. She can use the app free, forever — even after your time together ends.
How it works
Cradled grows with the relationship. You don't have to ask a prospect to install an app before they've decided to hire you.
A referral or self-directed lead reaches out. Add them to your pipeline with a name and email. No app install for them yet — no friction for people still deciding.
Schedule the first call. Send your intake form before it. Log your notes; flag anything for session one.
Send the contract and fee agreement. She signs on any device. First payment goes through your Stripe link. At contract signing, she's invited into the app — everything you've already done links to her profile automatically.
Weekly or biweekly sessions. Daily check-ins in the background. Care plan tracks goals between visits. Session prep shows you the shape of her week before she walks in.
When the work wraps, mark her graduated. She keeps the app. Her profile stays available to you if she returns for a tune-up session months later.
What Cradled is — and isn't
Cradled covers the practice management + client-facing side of your work — scheduling, intake forms, invoicing, session summaries you share with her, care plans with collaborative goals, and a wellbeing-tracking app she'll actually use.
We're not a substitute for your EHR. If you keep diagnostic documentation, treatment planning, or regulated clinical notes, those belong in a dedicated system (Jane App, Practice Better, Owl, etc.) that's built for that compliance surface.
Private session notes inside Cradled are for your own recall and your client's shared summary — not for records you need to surface for a college review, insurance, or subpoena. Use your regulatory home for those.
Pair Cradled with your EHR. Most counsellors we talk to already have one — we're the piece that makes the week between sessions visible and the business side workable.
Built by someone who's been on your side of the room
I'm Kristi — a Registered Social Worker (RSW, BSW) and certified birth and postpartum doula. I've supported dozens of perinatal families through clinical and non-clinical work.
The hardest part of the mental-health side was always walking into a session cold — asking ‘how's the week been?’ and burning ten minutes on recap. I knew the signal was there. I just didn't have the tool to capture it without making her do more work.
Cradled is what I wish existed when I was doing both jobs at once. It won't replace your EHR. It will replace the bit of your brain that's trying to remember what she said three Tuesdays ago.
