ABOUT US
why we’re here
Motherhood is challenging to describe because we all experience it in our own ways. Everything we carry into it, our situations and families, our own growing up, our path to parenthood, how we want to parent, who we want to be and become—our stories can be so different. However we experience motherhood, the transformation is wild: the pressures, the heartache, the love, the pain, the hormones, the shifting, the loss of self, the new self... Real motherhood is full of the nitty gritty and the “yes, AND’s.” It encompasses small, seemingly insignificant moments and big, life-changing ones too. The journey is endless and challenging and incredibly beautiful.
Our current culture isn’t set up to provide mothers the support or community that they need to not only get through but enjoy motherhood, and we want to change that. Here at Hello Mama, our goal is twofold: 1) to honor and bring respect and reverence to the whole of the transformation and not just the picture perfect parts, and 2) to gather mothers with the hope that we can build the village that we, as mothers, so deserve. We have a variety of offerings for mothers in all seasons of motherhood, from women’s circles to event planning services for celebrating all sorts of motherhood moments.
Welcome to the community. We’re so glad to have you. Take what you need and leave the rest.

our wish for you
“May your mothering be like this sea, holding fast in its beautiful depth, it’s boldness, sure of its expansive world embracing boundaries. May your mothering be like the sea which carries her ships home again on her arms and disciplines her path for her rivers through the mountains. May you, like the sea, dance upon the sand with your littles, like the big and little waves that do their eddies and their jigs. And may your heart, like this whole undiscovered world of botany and biology contained within the sea, always be home to the magic of your life’s produced life.”

meet the founder
Claire Gause-Sievert is founder of Hello Mama and mother of a sweet toddler and newborn babe. She is a registered yoga teacher with special training in the perinatal period (RYT 200 and RPYT). She is always expanding her knowledge of aspects facing mamas and has even completed a DONA Birth Doula Training and Workshop. Hello Mama was born out of Claire’s passion for supporting mamas and her belief that mothers are the best for their children and families when they take care of and show up as themselves (not the mama all the books tell them to be but the real, raw imperfect mamas they already are).
