Who it's for

First-time moms whose babies are 0–4 months old. We group moms whose babies are within a few months of each other so the conversations stay relevant.

Bring your baby. Our space is set up for breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, diaper changes, and everything that comes up in new motherhood. There's nothing you need to prepare for or worry about getting wrong.

What you can expect

Each group meets for 75 minutes a week, for six weeks. Marah leads each session — opening with a check-in and then having a conversation about a specific topic. Topics we cover often include:

• The surprise and shifting expectations in early motherhood

• Relationships — with your partner, your parents, your friends, your changing self

• Ambivalence about returning to work

• Trusting yourself as a new mom

What's shared in the group stays in the group. We're a small, intentional space.

Why a therapist led group

Early motherhood is a special and vulnerable time when a lot comes up. My hope is that our groups make space for all that comes up and that people feel held and supported through it all.
