Life After Birth: Coming Home to Myself: A Maternal Health & Wellness Training Series

Join us for an intentional space designed to support and empower our community, hosted by Alyssa Bedard, MPH. Our first session, "What Happens After Birth," offers a supportive environment to discuss the overlooked realities of the fourth trimester. She will dive into the physical and emotional changes that occur after delivery, addressing those rarely talked-about topics to ensure our mamas feel seen and supported in their journey. This session is designed to normalize their experiences, reduce isolation, and gently introduce the idea that their healing and well-being matter just as much as their baby’s.
