expectant mother's pregnancy circle gatherings

🌸 Expectant Mother's Gathering

A 6-Week Journey of Connection, Growth & Neuroscience

“Where science meets soul—helping you and your baby grow together in safety, love, and connection.”

 

Not Your Typical Birth Prep-More Like a Spa Day for Your Soul

Pregnancy is not just about your body changing—it’s about your brain and your baby’s brain growing together in profound ways.

Your brain is literally rewiring for empathy, intuition, and connection, while your baby’s developing nervous system is shaped by every moment of safety, love, and regulation you provide—even before birth.

Rooted in nurture neuroscience, as presented in the best-selling book by Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD, The Nurture Revolution (2023),  this program helps mothers understand how emotional connection and co-regulation shape the developing brain for lifelong wellbeing.

This pregnancy group blends neuroscience, mindfulness, and community support to help you trust your intuition, reduce stress, and prepare for motherhood with confidence and calm.

This group invites self exploration, allowing a clarity of intention and intuition to serve as your inner GPS along this journey.

What Makes This Gathering Unique

Science you can trust
Practical, evidence-based insights from nurture neuroscience and the work of Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum.

Practices you can use in your daily life, during pregnancy and new parenthood.

Grounding tools for nervous system regulation and emotional balance that support secure attachment.

Community you can lean on.
Connection and belonging with other mothers in a safe, compassionate space.

It’s where science meets soul—and where you learn not just about motherhood, but how to feel at home in it.

 

The Pregnancy Circle is a 6-week experiential class designed to nurture your mind, body, and baby—while connecting you with other expectant mothers in a safe, supportive cocoon.

This is not a typical classroom.
It’s a cozy, positive space for sharing, supporting, learning, and practicing tools that foster emotional growth and resilience—for you and for your baby.

This is a perfect addition to a standard childbirth education class. Our group focuses on the inner work that opens your heart and mind to your new life as a parent. Although we learn about our human design and how we are wired, this happens through slowing down, quieting the noise, and

feeling into our own knowing.
