mini retreats for those who are expecting
Welcome to nourished pregnancy,
a space to care for your head, heart, and soul.
There was a time when pregnancy was seen as magic, mysterious, mystical. Women gathered to celebrate one another as they embarked on the physical, emotional and social changes that pregnancy brings. Now we tend to have baby showers focusing on celebrating the soon to be born baby but not so much the soon to be born mom.
If you have heard this inner voice that begs to be recognized and celebrated in a space that holds and honors you, then nourished pregnancy is for you.
​half day mini-retreats to feel seen, heard, honored and cared for
​​​​​​
This isn’t a support group- its a thoughtfully crafted space for pregnant women to connect with one another in community while being given the opportunity to reflect and deeper connect to themselves and their baby.
Maybe you aren't sure that you need this but keep hearing from others how meaningful groups of moms can be.
​
Maybe you want more for your pregnancy than your doctor visits and childbirth prep classes are providing.
​
​There's more.... we promise.
Nourish is intended to encourage reflection, build trust and weave community.
You’ll enjoy:
​
-
Warm Welcomes & Safe Spaces: Arrive with a curious and open heart and you will quickly realize there's space for you to feel safe, relax, and connect.
​
-
Real Conversations: Share with other expectant moms who understand guided by self reflection exercises.
​
-
Mindful Practices: Discover simple ways to soothe your body and calm your mind, leaving you refreshed and less stressed not just during pregnancy and postpartum but also beyond!
​
-
Education and Encouragement: We will share tips, explanations and suggestions for a soothing and nourishing pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. This isn't childbirth prep or labor tools but rather strategies that will help you during all of life's transitions.
​
