Village Prenatal
A Village prenatal is a special kind of women's circle, where we sit together to celebrate and witness the pregnant women in our community who are preparing to give birth. It's also a chance to commune with like-minded women and mothers and talk about all things fertility, mothering, breastfeeding, postpartum and beyond.
In-Person in Los Angeles
Women have sat together to talk about their birthing and mothering experiences for millennia. Those who are preparing to give birth deserve our most dedicated and special presence as they prepare to cross the threshold between Heaven and Earth to bring their babies into this physical plane.
In Village Prenatals, we will share our positive birth experiences, talk about our ideal vision for birth and speak our fears and worries into this sacred container. No feedback is necessary. It's a witnessing space where we celebrate the Mothers of our community. In these circles, all topics pertaining to the mothering continuum are welcome: from pre-conception, pregnancy, the process of birth, the postpartum time, breastfeeding, to child development and more!
If you are a birth worker but do not have a story to share and still want to participate, you are most welcome to come and support the circle. If you are recovering from a traumatic birth experience and need to process it, this may not the space to do so, although I trust that whatever is shared within this sacred container can be held there. Healing from a traumatic birth experience takes time and, I believe, a somatic approach. Being witnessed and feeling held is a part of it, but there's a little bit more work that needs to be done...
Village Prenatals are a special kind of circle ⭕️ , where Mothers are held, loved, taken care of, witnessed and listened to as they prepare for their upcoming birthing experience no matter how many times (or not) they have gone through this rite of passage.
