Whole Mother Village is such a gem - especially for new moms. The Wednesday breastfeeding group is such a great resource - not only for guidance with breastfeeding questions, but just to connect with other moms. It’s special just to get out of the house and compare notes on sleep, feeding and birth stories with other women who might be experiencing something similar. Grateful to have found this place!

My husband and I had just moved into our new home before I got pregnant with our son and it dawned on me that we were doing this alone with no support network close by. Our relatives and close friends live in other states and there are very few families with small children on our street. I started looking for a prenatal yoga class online and that's when I discovered Whole Mother Village. I soon learned that they offered so much more than yoga and I took advantage of all that they had to offer: fitness and childbirth classes, support groups, and more. Sunday morning prenatal yoga became my 'sanctuary' and an essential part of my weekly routine. Soon after my son was born, my yoga instructor (and one of the doulas at WMV, Kelly) visited me and offered support when I needed it most. I was still in recovery from a c-section, and working through the emotions of childbirth. She held my baby and reassured me that everything I had just gone through was normal. I spent much of my maternity leave at WMV and my earliest, fondest memories with my son were spent at the Breastfeeding Circle, Mommy & Me Yoga, and Music Class with Kate. We sometimes drop by on our way home from the pediatrician or running errands just to rest for a bit, play, and hang out--we are always welcomed. January 2020 will mark one year that I have been a part of Whole Mother Village and it's safe to say that I found the community that I sought--not just Alice and her team but also eight new mom friends, all of whom I met at WMV and who continue to support each other on our journey through motherhood. I don't know what I would have done without the support I found at Whole Mother Village and as I learn and grow as a mother I know that I will continue to rely on them in the future.

Was such a great way to find a community of new moms. Went for prenatal yoga, and have now done most of the new mom classes too. Also recommend getting a massage!
