ATL Intown Postpartum Pod - Q3/4 2025 Babies

For babies born between September and November 2025. 

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:

Tuesdays and Fridays for 3 weeks: December 5, 9, 12, 16, 19. 

Your pod will be led by:

Becca Sawyer, PT, DPT from Atlanta Pelvic Health

Becca was drawn to pelvic health physical therapy in 2017 while pregnant with her daughter -experiencing first-hand how pregnancy and childbirth change a woman's body. Most mothers she meets have lingering pregnancy-related issues they want to address, such as diminished core strength, diastasis recti, leaking with high-impact activity, or pain during sex. As she has treated more women with persistent low back pain or achy hips, she sees these seemingly unrelated conditions can sometimes be addressed through focusing on the pelvic floor. Pelvic health is a vital aspect of women's health, and she is passionate about improving access to pelvic floor PT in my community.  Her hope is to help you learn about and connect deeply to your body, and enjoy living in it. When she is not treating patients, she enjoys camping and hiking with her family. She also loves yoga and meditation and frequently incorporates aspects of both into her treatments.
