Pregnancy and Postpartum Support

Pregnancy Circle at Growing Green Families
Our goal is to offer a space for pregnant people to come together to find their like-minded tribe, to offer support to one another, and to become more informed about their pregnancies and their birth options. Each Pregnancy Circle will highlight different topics of discussion and will be facilitated by knowledgable professionals from our local community. Some of the professionals facilitating our Pregnancy Circles include midwives, lactation counselors, doulas, chiropractors, massage therapists, baby wearing and car seat professionals, and nutrition/health coaches.  The group will meet once per month and participants are welcome to attend as many times as they wish. Light refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP. There is no charge for these events.
