What is Community Supported Postpartum?

Postnatal care and recovery is one of the most under-discussed and under valued aspects of healthcare in the US, as well as many other countries. Not only are we falling short to support the extraordinary physiologic changes after birth, our culture and systems literally don't create space to acknowledge the huge life changes that come with welcoming a baby.

Time and time again, new parents are made to feel invisible.

Community Supported Postpartum groups are local classes for parents and babies to be seen, to be acknowledged, to build community and to be resourced with support to recover and flourish.

A strong sense of community is a powerful remedy for healing, bonding and belonging. Let's build it, together.

Our modern culture puts expecting mothers on a pedestal but abandons parents of newborns at the exact moment you most need our care and attention.

(I blame our mainstream preoccupation with individualism, productivity and busy-ness.)

But when you thrive, our children and communities thrive.

So let’s put you at the center of a web of support, right now.

In our weekly group you will be connected with local caregivers who offer traditional postpartum practices, physical postpartum healing and conversations on the essential specialized care bodies that have birth need in the first year (and beyond).

We will share ways to create ritual and rhythm with baby through your day so you can build security, trust and belonging in your dyad.

Our group is rooted in community building for new parents...without the dogma or judgement.

Our classes create space to connect with yourself, with your baby and with your community.

For 10 years our inter-generational weekly classes have been a place where we bring local resources to you, all with one thing in common: nurturing the postpartum journey and making visible the profound changes as a parent.
