Cesarean Mothers Circle

This is my most intimate offering. Enrollment will be capped at 10 participants.

This group interactive by design.

Attending on a consistent basis helps make it a safe space for people who are exploring emotionally sensitive topics.

While there is no requirement to attend all sessions, I have found that participants receive more benefit circle when they commit to being there.

Of course, life and parenting are busy. If you do miss a call, you will have access to a recording within a few days.

The subscription makes the circle affordable on a monthly basis without requiring a major financial commitment from you. It also encourages participants to attend the entire series, which helps build cohesion and safety.

Having the same people in the circle each month helps build trust and a strong relational field.

The membership allows me to reserve your spot and keep the group small.

Currently, I don’t accept new enrollments after our first session has started.

Making this a closed group allows us to have a shared set of group agreements which helps create more safety.

Being in an intentional group space with others who can empathize is supportive for anyone, regardless of how much work they've done to heal.

Only you know if this is right for you.

Birthing people have joined this circle at all stages postpartum and at all stages of their healing journey - from 2 weeks after their cesarean birth to multiple years.

Your willingness to show up with an open heart and mind will create a positive, healing experience for you.

It’s important to know that participants will be invited to share parts of their birth story in some sessions. Ideally, you are in a place with your healing where you can hear and hold some level of space for other people’s experiences (even if imperfect).

It might be helpful if you are also able to talk about some of your own experiences, but this is not required.

Most people will become emotional in this group (crying or other types of emotive upset)- which is so healthy and important. The key is knowing/learning how to be with ourselves (and others) when we get upset - knowing that feeling our emotions is healthy and safe. And learning to come back to our center when we get dysregulated. These are invaluable skills for healing.

We will learn many techniques for tracking and regulating our own nervous systems that will help us navigate the more difficult moments that may arise.

If you had a planned cesarean that had an impact on you - whether you consider that impact birth trauma, grief, sadness, or you're not even sure, this is a safe place to work through your experiences.

I commit to ensuring a judgment-free space for all participants, regardless of birthing choices or circumstances.

All birth matters. All birth choices are valid. Your experience matters and you deserve care, empathy, support, and attunement. Period.

Absolutely not. This circle serves a different purpose from therapy and is designed to help you build a sense of belonging, relational safety, and community as you recover from a difficult or traumatic birth.

You will learn techniques and be exposed to different modalities that might help you on your healing path.

You will also learn from each other and find great solace in knowing that we are all connected by a shared thread.

If you have birth trauma - flashbacks about your birth, intrusive thoughts, extreme sadness or grief, or cannot think or talk about birth without becoming highly emotional and dysregulated - I highly recommend that you also seek the support of a therapist who specializes in trauma healing, ideally birth trauma in particular.

If you’d like help finding a therapist, please feel free to contact me.

I am not a therapist or a medical professional and do not give medical or psychiatric advice. This group can serve as a beautiful supplement to therapy; many of our participants have therapists in addition to participating in this group. Others do not. Everyone is different. You know yourself best.
