Prenatal Circle

belly-basics

Our Prenatal Circle is held every other week, and is open to everyone, whether you are a client of ours, or not. Join us for an opportunity to explore common pregnancy questions and concerns, while building your community. We recognize that relationships formed between women who are walking the journey of motherhood together are unlike any other friendship. As you rejoice in the beauty of birth, and cry at the challenges you will inevitably face, we want you to be surrounded by a group of women who understand, and will share in your emotions. We are fostering the birth of the village, and invite you to be a part of it.

Each week, we will focus on a different topic of interest, sharing advice, personal stories and a safe space to open up. Tea and snacks are always in abundance at the nest, and smiles are plenty. We promise you will have a wonderful time, and meet some life-long friends. Join us.

Tales For Tots

Coming soon!

We invite you to bring your babes and tots in PJ’s as we read bedtime stories and share a bedtime treat of cookies and milk. Feel free to bring a pillow and blanket, and snuggle in!

Mom & Baby Group

blessing-ceremony

Reading, singing and talking to your baby builds pathways to learning. Join us every Thursday morning for a 1/2 hour of literacy based fun especially created for you and baby to share. Reading, singing, movement and the opportunity to socialize in a baby friendly environment.

This facilitated group will be followed by an hour to socialize, feed your baby, and chat with our experienced doulas.

Thursdays, from 10:30am – 12:00pm

Perinatal Loss Peer Support Group

waveoflight

A safe, judgment free place for families to come to share their stories, speak with others who have experienced loss, and most of all, learn they are not alone.

Headed by Courtney Parker, a mother who has personally experienced pregnancy and infant loss, the group will talk about their personal experiences, ways of coping and dealing with the pain, dealing with people who push or pull away, and anything else the group feels like discussing each month.

We will try to engage in a small activity each month, whether it be creating a piece of jewelry, artwork, or simply lighting a candle or reading a poem.  The group has been designed to have a very loose structure as grief is constantly changing, no one will be pressured to share, or asked not to speak.

Family members are invited to come on their own, or with their partner or a support person, no matter how recent or distant your loss may be.
