Alpharetta Postpartum Pod - Q4 2025 / Q1 2026 Babies

For babies born between October 2025 and January 2026

A small group learning series that provides support and connection in the months after birth. Registration includes Annual MESH moms membership. Postpartum Pods are limited to 8 mom/baby pairs and are facilitated by an experienced Postpartum Doula and different subject matter experts.

Postpartum Pods create an intimate cohort of mothers with same-age babies. You’ll get specific guidance around developmental milestones, regulating your baby’s sleep routine, breast and bottle feeding, separation anxiety, maternal identity, and so much more! The most valuable benefit of our Postpartum Pods may simply be being seen by others going through this exciting but at times overwhelming phase of life and developing strong bonds with other moms... But you’ll also learn how to mindfully navigate the first few months of your child’s life, as well as gain resources to help you and your little one develop ongoing confidence and joy.

You will also be able to join our Pod-only WhatsApp group. Within this group, you’ll connect with the other pod participants and our Postpartum doula, receiving ongoing advice and unwavering support throughout the pod’s duration. Even after your pod concludes, this platform remains accessible, fostering ongoing connections with fellow moms.

Meeting dates: Every Friday for 5 weeks: February 6, 13, 20, 27 and March 6.  

Your pod will be led by:

Hi, I am The Molly Doula. Birth And Postpartum Doula based in Atlanta, GA, with over a

decade of experience supporting families. I offer gentle, evidence-based care through both birth

and postpartum. My approach is rooted in calm, compassionate presence—nurturing the mind,

body, and soul during one of life’s most transformative seasons. Whether you’re preparing to

welcome your baby or finding your rhythm in the early days, I’m here to walk alongside you

My goal is to help every mother feel supported, informed, and empowered—because when

moms thrive, families do too.

Leigh-Anne Skinner, BSN IBCLC from The Feeding Circle

With a background as a postpartum nurse, I love using that experience to support the families I work with. My approach is all about teamwork, compassion, and truly listening to each family’s unique story. I believe in meeting parents where they are, providing care that’s not only personalized but also practical and empowering. My goal is to help parents feel confident and supported every step of the way. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family, cooking, and curling up with a good book alongside my two Great Danes, Louis and Willow.

Lauren Paradiso, DPT, OCS from Empower Physical Therapy and Wellness

Women deserve education and guidance to allow them to achieve their goals. I am here to help women be proactive during pregnancy and before menopause to help get ahead of issues we commonly see. I am here to help women of all ages get back to achieving their goals in an environment in which you will be heard and we will come up a with plan specifically for you.

Outside of work, my husband and I spend our time being outnumbered by our three little girls: GG, Emma and Madeline.
