After Birth Support Circle

It is vital to have a safe place to make sense of your initiation or re-entry into parenthood.

These circles are for any person who is in the throes of Matrescence (the psychological birth of a mother, similar to adolescence, involving hormonal and identity shifting).

After becoming a parent, one typically hits the ground running and does not often take the time to acknowledge their metamorphosis. Our groups are like a counterpart to mommy & me classes, which are typically more didactic in nature and focus on the child—their development, sleeping and schedules, etc. These practical matters do come up in our discussions, yet these circles take deep dives into subjects surrounding the drastic transformation from maiden to mother. 

A person could also benefit from this offering if they are experiencing a Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorder (PMAD), however, it is not a psychotherapy group designed to specifically treat a mental health issue such as Postpartum Depression.

Topics may include

Birthing Experience
Sex After Birth
Body Image Issues
