Becoming a parent (or parenting again), is a tremendously powerful life transition. The transition can be filled with opportunities for personal growth! In a warm, safe environment, we focus on building authentic friendships, regardless of parenting backgrounds and philosophies. The group is carefully designed, from the first point of contact, until the last, to create “common bonds” so that honest dialogue and exploration can occur. With this foundation, parents can be honest, without fear of judgement, to explore difficult “hot topics” such as sexuality, bottle/breastfeeding, sleep “training”, and difficult or taboo emotions of parenthood. The power of Emerging Mothers also extends into the parent’s primary relationships. Through tools and dialogue, parents learn how to navigate the complexities of relationship changes with their partners, their own parents and close friends. Each group has continued to be a source of support and encouragement for each parent, often meeting and talking regularly for years! Emerging Mothers has supported hundreds of parents through this postpartum time. Now it’s your turn!

Reiki Healing Relax, rejuvenate, rebalance, reconnect. Release what no longer serves you. Within each of us is a beautiful natural energy that is meant to flow freely throughout the body and keep us feeling vibrant and healthy. Think of it like a stream or river. When water flows freely, it is light and bubbly, and life blooms within it. However, if it gets blocked, the water begins to stagnate and it looses much of the life within it. The intention of a Reiki Healing session is to re-establish balance in the flow of energy. As well as hands-on healing, the session may include elements of crystal and shamanic techniques.
