Mentoring Mothers offers consultation, connection and community for mothers who gather to nurture one another in transitioning to a more conscious experience of motherhood.
Mentoring Mothers fosters a woman’s emotional and psychological development to support her in becoming the mother and woman she wishes to be.
I just didn’t think this would be so hard!”
Nobody prepares you for what it is like once the baby comes out.”
Everything has changed. I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”
The other moms are managing so much better than I am.”
I wanted to be a mother and have a baby–why don’t I enjoy it?”
“I did not think I would feel so exhausted, stressed, worried, and lonely.”
“I am afraid I will repeat what I experienced as a child.”
“I don’t feel bonded to my baby—some days I don’t want to be around my baby.”
Mentoring Mothers address these concerns.
