Therapist-led Support Groups to Process the Realities of Motherhood

Petaluma Mother's Club Postpartum Circle

This monthly, therapist-led support group is in-person, in Petaluma. It's designed to be a casual meeting for new moms.

Most bring their babies, come in leggings, and leave whenever someone starts crying. It's most women's first Petaluma Mother's Club Event, and it's a great way to begin building a local village through the PMC. We discuss everything from feeding challenges, to partner frustrations to ways we are taking care of ourselves in this wild season of motherhood.
