Mindful Mom & Baby Group (9/10-10/22)

Service Description

This 7-week group is intended to give new moms (birth to pre-crawlers) the much-needed community, connection, and support along their postpartum journey. This group helps moms get out of the house and connect with other local moms going through similar stages of motherhood in a meaningful and supportive way. Feel seen, understood, validated, and less alone as you share your motherhood struggles and joys in a non-judgmental space, have fun bonding with your baby through developmentally stimulating activities, learn self-care tools, and receive emotional support. Each week will begin with a structured mindful check-in, time to share and receive support, fun bonding activities, and a different topic of discussion (your journey to motherhood, navigating relationships and boundaries, shifting identity, guilt-free self-care, etc.). Together, we'll explore the unhelpful "shoulds" in motherhood culture and learn how to shut out the noise and tune into your inner wisdom. What makes this group special? You'll not only feel seen and supported - you'll also learn mindfulness-based tools to co-regulate and nurture yourself so you can mother from a place of calm, connection, and confidence. Come as you are - start to build your village and make lasting friendships for you and your baby, and leave feeling more connected, confident, and supported along your postpartum journey. ​ Open to first, second, third or more-time moms.  Dates: Wednesdays 9:30-11AM 9/10-10/22 $315 for 7 weeks Meets inside Bloom & Grow Creative in Natick (17 South Ave, suite 1). ​ This group is led by Jessica Spaman, LICSW, Perinatal Mental Health Expert, Motherhood Wellness Coach, Owner of Emotions In Motion & Jill Vetstein, LICSW, Early Intervention Specialist, Certified Infant Toddler Teacher, & Infant Massage Instructor. *This group is therapeutic but is NOT mental health treatment or a replacement for it.
