Heartwise Mamas Program

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.  ~Anne Lamott

Starting July 1st!

This unique and supportive program is:
for women who are pregnant or postpartum and having a rough start on their journey of motherhood.  One of the most helpful ways to decrease feelings of being overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious is to get out of your house and connect with other mothers who understand what you are going through. This program helps you to do just that and more. You can feel better and we are here to help you.

  • Twice a week, come to a special support group (Mondays and Fridays, times announced soon)
  • Stay to enjoy Nurture’s Community Space for Families and be a part of a warm and welcoming community
  • Receive special wellness services on-site, including a weekly, come to a drop-in breastfeeding support group (Wednesdays, times announced soon)

If you are:

  • pregnant and finding that it is not as easy as expected
  • experiencing pregnancy or postpartum depression or anxiety
  • traumatized from a difficult birth experience
  • feeling Motherhood shock (this is not what I expected)
  • feeling disconnected from your baby
  • feeling isolated, stuck, unsure, exhausted, or overwhelmed
  • searching for the missing you that you barely remember

…then this program is for you.
