The Woman2Mother Group
This group is open to new mothers with babies (0-1) and is a place for moms to come (with baby, if desired) to talk all about the journey to motherhood as well as the isolation and disconnection you might be feeling. By integrating stories of conception and birth, along with our larger family of origin narratives, we process our journey to our now mother self.
A safe space to connect with others and reconnect with yourself. Maternal mental health allows you to truly be present for both you and your child. This group will support you in ways that help you feel recognized because YOU matter.
