The Village Mothers' Group

Biology never intended for us to mother our babies on our own. Mothers deserve to be surrounded by others walking the path of early motherhood - sharing, connecting and supporting.

The Village Mothers’ Groups offer a nurturing and supportive environment for mothers and their babies aged 6 weeks to 9 months.

These six-week programs are designed to foster connection, provide education, and create a sense of community among new mothers.

Program Highlights:

Expert-Led Sessions: Each week features a different practitioner from The Village Collective, covering topics such as baby massage, sleep support, maternal wellbeing, and more.

Community Building: The groups are intentionally kept small (capped at 10 participants) to encourage meaningful connections. A private WhatsApp group is also established for continued support outside of sessions.

Relaxed Environment: Sessions include time for baby play and socialisation, as well as opportunities for mothers to enjoy tea, coffee, and snacks while sharing their experiences.

Holistic Support: The program is facilitated by professionals dedicated to supporting mothers, ensuring a comprehensive approach to early motherhood challenges.

The Village Mothers’ Groups aim to recreate the communal support traditionally found in village settings, recognizing that mothers thrive when surrounded by understanding and shared experiences.
