    Community in the early weeks and months with a new baby is essential! Join us for a warm, open, and supportive mom + baby circle designed specifically for mamas with babies 6–18 months old. We’ll talk about changing identities, relationships, and navigating the joys and challenges of motherhood as our little ones grow. This gathering is led by perinatal therapist Kylie Hempy, LMFT #151283, PMH-C. Kylie is a PMC mama of four, and she’s taken her personal experiences and worked with countless new moms and couples using evidence-based tools to help families survive a season that can feel impossible.

    Moving forward, we’re splitting our Mom + Baby Circles into two groups so moms can connect with others in a similar stage of motherhood. This group is for mamas with babies 6–18 months old, while our second group is for mamas with babies under 6 months old.

    This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other moms, share experiences, and build community. Coffee will be provided!
