The gap
Motherhood happens in the moments between appointments.
Our support systems are failing moms. But not because there aren't enough providers or good intentions. It's failing because support is fragmented — and doesn't reach moms in the moments that matter most.
“I feel like I've been up for 3 days straight. My baby isn't sleeping and I'm really losing it.”
Tara meets moms exactly in the parenting challenges and everyday stressors before overwhelm turns to crisis.
Studies estimate unaddressed maternal mental health conditions cost about $14 billion in added medical and workplace costs with lasting effects on children's behavioral health.

The 6 week postpartum check-up, the well child visit. Then weeks of silence through the 3 a.m. feeds, the intrusive thoughts, the return to work, the identity shift.

Not a chat. A relationship that remembers.
With Tara, every conversation is carried forward and used to build better insights across the motherhood journey.
Step 1
Conversation
Mom shares something honest at 2 a.m. Tara listens and provides a path forward.
Step 2
Follow-up
A few days later, Tara checks back in first. Unprompted, and specific to what mom said.
Step 3
Pattern recognition
Across weeks, a thread appears: the dread is clustering around returning to work.
Step 4
Personalized recommendation
Tara offers skills that fit the pattern.
Step 5
Connection to additional care
When mom needs more, Tara helps her reach a vetted perinatal specialist.
“I can share sensitive topics that are awkward, personal, or feel extremely detailed and specific to parenting. Tara offers advice that is simply calming, validating, or action oriented.”

Why Tara exists
Built by a psychologist and a mom who lived the gap.
Dr. Katrina Roundfield is a mom and a Yale-trained psychologist and former UCSF professor who spent her career studying why evidence-based care so rarely reaches families. Tara is her answer: the support she couldn't find between her own appointments, grounded in the science she's spent two decades practicing.
Experts review Tara's guidance for safety and quality. Tara does not diagnose, treat, or provide emergency care.
