Our intention for the free sessions is to provide a gentle, low-pressure space where moms who are interested in joining our group can meet us and get a feel for the group without having to commit to the full series in advance. 

During the session, we’ll give you a glimpse of what our regular Postpartum Support Circle sessions will look like. We’ll guide a simple check-in, share some practical postpartum mental health tools and offer space for connection with the other moms and share a bit about how the full Postpartum Support Circle works.

There’s no pressure to share or participate in any specific way unless you want to.

You're welcome to join one or both sessions, whatever feels best for you. Each session is designed as a gentle introduction to the Postpartum Support Circle, with time to meet us, connect with other moms and get a feel for the group.

We’ll also explore slightly different postpartum themes and tools in each session, so some moms find it helpful to attend both in order to experience a bit more of the conversation and get a fuller sense of the group. That said, there’s no expectation at all! You won’t miss anything essential if you only come to one. Both options are completely okay.

Not at all. The intro sessions are simply a chance to experience the space and see if it feels like the right fit for you. If it does, we’ll share how to join and the next steps. If not, that’s completely okay too.

So is everyone else, they just might not say it out loud. It’s completely normal. You are not expected to share right away, you can come, listen, and ease in at your own pace.

No pressure at all. You can absolutely just listen. Many moms start that way and find that over time, it feels easier to speak up when it feels right.

Yes, we are moms, we understand. If your baby needs you during the session, you are absolutely welcome to have them with you. Feeding, rocking, occasional chaos… all part of the experience. We want you to get the most of the group so we support however that works best for you!

We get it, life with a baby can be unpredictable. While we encourage consistency (it really helps the group feel more connected), missing a session is okay. Payment is required upfront for the full group, so missed sessions are not refundable… consider it motivation to log on even if you’re in sweats and holding a baby. We also do not record sessions in order to protect everyone’s confidentiality, but we are always here if questions come up between sessions.

It’s a bit of both. The group is therapist led and grounded in clinical knowledge, but it’s also a space for real conversation, shared experiences, and feeling less alone in what you’re going through. It is not a substitute for individual therapy, but it can be a really meaningful complement to it.

No problem at all. For some moms, working 1:1 instead of a group can feel more supportive and nourishing during the postpartum period. If that sounds like you, you can learn about me postpartum therapy services here.

Creating a space that feels safe and respectful is really important to us. At the start of the group, we go over clear guidelines around confidentiality and ask that everyone agrees to not share what others disclose outside of the group. While we can’t control what people do outside of it, we are very intentional about who joins and set a strong tone of care, respect, and privacy from the beginning. In our experience, when that foundation is in place, people show up with a lot of thoughtfulness toward one another.
