Becoming a Mother – Six Week Series

Your birth preferences are polished, your registry is live, but do you have the resources you need to heal & thrive once that sweet baby of yours is in arms? We live in a culture that prizes pregnancy, birth, and “must haves” for baby, but offers little support to birthing women for perhaps the biggest transformation they’ll have in this lifetime ~ becoming a mother. Many new moms are confused and shamed by their experience of early motherhood when their realities of depletion don’t match the more common narrative of elation & bliss. This series aims to soften your transition by connecting you through candid conversation with women who’ve been there as well as local perinatal health specialists that will serve as an invaluable resource in your fourth trimester and beyond. You’ll be guided through the creation of a personalized post-birth support plan that ensures you’re well cared for during this influential season of life.

Gather weekly with fellow expecting mamas as you:
Identify how you want to feel your first year post-birth and anticipate your personal needs for a healthy beginning
Establish a “Postpartum Support Plan” full of practical systems + resources that create space for rest and bonding with your new family
Learn the “what I wish I’d knowns” from maternal health specialists on important topics like breastfeeding, emotional + physical recovery, relationship shifts, & healing postpartum nutrition
Share in meaningful conversation about your hopes, fears, and anticipations surrounding birth and motherhood
Practice and receive care in the form of gentle movement + meditation, nourishing bites, space, and solidarity

The most essential ingredient to your health as a new mother is community, which is why we cap this group at twelve to encourage authentic, lasting connections that lift you up in motherhood.
