A mother blessing is a special event held to honor an expecting mother. It differs from a traditional baby shower in that, whereas the focus of the baby shower is generally on the baby with fun and games, gifts for the baby, etc., a mother blessing is more intimate and focused entirely on the mother and supporting her journey.

“Had an absolutely amazing time at Mama’s Day Out hosted by Claire. She led a dreamy and deeply relaxing meditation followed by a super powerful women’s circle. It was the perfect day surrounded by so many amazing women through various stages of motherhood. Would definitely recommend this event and Claire’s talents to anyone!”

A women's circle is a gathering that bring women together with the intention of women supporting women, truly listening and witnessing each other. No solving or giving of advice, no competition, no comparison—circles are a judgment-free place to slow down and an invitation to reflect, to dream, and to connect deeply with other women. To learn more about women’s circles and their history, check out these articles from Cosmopolitan and Well and Good.

At the moment, the only perinatal yoga offering is infused into the Growing Together Circle. If you're interested in private perinatal (prenatal, post-natal, etc) sessions, reach out!

Matrescence is a term for the motherhood experience. You can think of it similarly to adolescence as a time of transformation and evolution, but unlike adolescence, matrescence is never ending. There have been a number of researchers who have studied this transformation, and based on their work, many authors and educators are spreading the awareness that motherhood is indeed a transformation. What possibly matters most, though, is the impact our understanding of matrescence can have. In the words of matrescence teacher Nikki McCahon, "understanding matrescence changes the way a mother sees herself, the way she relates to herself and the meaning that she makes from her experience."
