This new support group is for mothers navigating the early postpartum journey and is designed for those within the first 1 year after childbirth. The group offers a validating and compassionate space for mothers to share experiences, build community, address common challenges and access resources in a safe nourishing environment. The 12 weeks after birth is considered as the ‘Fourth Trimester’ and sets the foundation for long term mental health and healing, therefore postpartum recovery deserves thoughtful care and support. The group welcomes a full range of postpartum realities - whether you are adjusting to life with a newborn, coping with emotional challenges, or adapting to changes within your body and identity, you’re not alone. Join us to connect, reflect, and be supported.
What you will receive:
- Tools to create a ‘Postpartum Sanctury’
- Connection and community from other mothers
- Space to process birthing experiences
- Improved self-awareness and compassionate thinking
- Normalizing the challenges of motherhood
- Empowerment and nourishment
- Thinking differently in a safe space
Who should attend:
