Inspired by Prenatal Celebration Circles, Melissa Abernathy, Emily Bayus, and Ana Paliza-Brown - members of the Full Circle Holistic and Mothertree Team!- are now offering Postpartum Honoring Circles—a tender space for new mothers to be held, witnessed, and supported in the sacred unfolding of matrescence.
This chapter of life—the threshold of becoming a mother—asks everything of us. It is powerful, vulnerable, beautiful, and often unseen. In modern culture, postpartum care often focuses only on the baby, when what is most needed is to mother the mother—to gather around her with presence, care, and reverence for what she is going through.
We are not meant to do this alone.
Postpartum Honoring Circles are a call back to community: to remind new mothers they are not alone, they are not invisible, and their experience matters. These circles offer connection, affirmation, and support in navigating the emotional, physical, and spiritual transformation of early motherhood.
This circle is open to women in the early postpartum period (within one year of giving birth) with their babies, as well as to women beyond this stage who feel called to support mothers navigating the early days of this profound transformation.
