Love being a new mom more......

Join other moms and babies in an opportunity for ongoing support and connection!

Joining a group can help to answer questions, gain perspective, nurture friendships, reduce isolation, and enjoy interacting with your little one even more!

The groups meet once a week for six weeks for a facilitated session with me and once more during the week with just the moms and babies for an outing or activity 

During the facilitated sessions we share birth or adoption stories, who makes up our families, what our biggest challenges are, what we did before we became moms and whether we will be returning to that at some point, how our babies came by their names, issues of identity, returning to work or not, physical recovery and intimacy, how to get a break, allowing others to help care for our babies, how being a new mom has impacted relationship, parenting theories and much more!

The outings allow you to gain comfort and experience in getting out and about with your little one and it helps moms to get to know each other better socially

The babies usually range in age from 2-16 weeks when the groups start - everyone is ready at a different time and a range of ages is extremely helpful for perspective

We meet in comfortable and relaxed environments that are easy to get to

Berkeley area groups meet at East Bay Lactation Associates office in Albany 

Oakland area groups meet at the Lake Merritt United Methodist Church

2nd time groups meet at the lactation support offices in Albany as well

Please feel free to email or call with any questions or concerns that you have

You can register here on the site for the group you would like to attend

You can pay at the time of registration via paypal online or at the fist session by check or via Square

I am always open to discussing payment arrangements if that would be helpful

I do support groups because it was the best thing that I did for myself as a new mom and I wanted to help provide the same opportunity for other new moms 

Most of these groups continue to meet for years after their initial six weeks

It really is an amazing resource - we are surrounded by wonderful women going through the same transitions and being together through this really lightens the load!

I hope to see you and your baby in a group soon!
