Postpartum Support Circle
Motherhood is beautiful — and it’s also hard.
Even when you’re surrounded by love, early motherhood can feel surprisingly lonely. Even when you’re grateful, you can feel overwhelmed. Even when you’re confident in your ability to mother, you might still long for a space where you can exhale, be honest, and feel understood.
If you’ve been craving community, support, or simply a place to breathe, The Nest was created for you.
What Is The Nest?
The Nest is a postpartum support circle designed to nurture your emotional wellbeing in the first year after birth.
It brings together new moms (and their babies!) for real conversations, gentle guidance, and evidence-based support during one of life’s most tender transitions.
Led by a licensed psychotherapist specializing in perinatal mental health, this group offers a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can:
Share your honest experiences
Learn emotional regulation tools
Connect with other new moms
Feel seen, supported, and understood
Because while caring for a baby is important, caring for you is essential.
Why Postpartum Emotional Support Matters
The postpartum period is more than a physical recovery — it’s a profound emotional adjustment. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists notes that postpartum care should extend beyond medical check-ins to include mental health support, acknowledging this time as “a critical period for emotional adjustment and wellbeing” (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2018). Similarly, Postpartum Support International highlights that community support and peer connection significantly reduce isolation and improve emotional health for new parents (Postpartum Support International, n.d.).
In simple terms:
You were never meant to navigate early motherhood alone.
Connection is protective. Community is healing.
And support is not a luxury — it’s a lifeline.
What You’ll Experience Inside The Nest
Every session of The Nest is intentionally designed to help you feel grounded, connected, and cared for. Here’s what you can expect:
✨ Honest Conversations
Talk openly about the highs and lows of postpartum life — identity shifts, exhaustion, relationship changes, feeding challenges, intrusive thoughts, joy, and everything in between.
✨ Gentle, Evidence-Based Guidance
Learn practical tools for emotional regulation, nervous system calming, and reconnecting with yourself as you navigate the fourth trimester and beyond.
✨ Community with Other New Moms
There is something incredibly healing about hearing “me too.” The Nest offers a circle of women who understand the realities of early motherhood — not just the curated version you see online.
✨ A Supportive, Therapeutic Space
As a psychotherapist-led group, The Nest blends the warmth of community with the safety of a professionally guided space, helping you process emotions and build resilience.
