Postpartum Group for Moms in
The Fourth Trimester
This group offers community through the shared experience of becoming a mother through birth. The intention of these gatherings is to create a safe landing space for postpartum mamas to share stories and experiences: An offering of support throughout the first 12 weeks after birth also known as the 4th trimester; rooted in the importance of community and connection through the transition into the next stage of parenthood.
This 2-session recurring group meets twice a month. Together we will share and discuss common postpartum experiences and concerns with topics ranging from sleep, mood, emotions, physical care, nourishment for mom and baby, processing your birth story, and life beyond the 4th trimester. This class is for any mama in her postpartum journey. Note: Participants will be encouraged to gather socially outside of class each week (i.e meet for coffee, take a walk, etc.) to deepen a sense of community as moms.
Fee: $35 per session (Can use HSA & FSA funds)
