She has developed a mobile phone app, Positively Pregnant, that focuses on social and emotional wellness during pregnancy. She is also involved in understanding how to develop and deliver effective professional training on mental health and wellness for the professionals who support new parents. In addition, she collaborates with colleagues in the US and the UK to study parents' beliefs and experiences around infant care.
