Postpartum Pod
A WEEKLY LEARNING SERIES FOR COMMUNITY, EDUCATION & SOMETHING FUN TO DO WITH YOUR NEWBORN
Postpartum pods create an intimate cohort of mothers in their fourth trimester with same-age babies. Mothers who, perhaps like you, are wondering if they’re “doing it right?”
Spoiler alert: there’s no one right way to raise a child.
Learn to mindfully navigate the first few months of your child’s life and gain resources to help you and your little one develop ongoing confidence and joy. 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.

Who
Your pod will be led by an experienced postpartum doula. We will also have various subject matter experts joining us for specific topics.
How
1. Sign up for a pod based on your due date. We recommend signing up early to ensure you have a spot.
2. A few days before your first meeting, we will send out some guidelines.
3. Come as you are! Don't feel pressured to look perfect. Just show up - even with spit up in your hair. No judgment!
4. Our pods are of course baby friendly. Feel free to nurse or bottle feed. And no worries if your little one is crying!
5. Join our Pod-only WhatsApp group. Within this group, you’ll connect with the other participants and our Postpartum Doula. Even after your pod concludes, this platform remains accessible.
When
New Postpartum Pods begin regularly every few weeks. Check here for the upcoming dates.
