Tomorrow's Birth Story Circle **CANCELLED**


**CANCELLED**

I have three very poorly kiddos in my home, and cannot in good conscience
invite mamas with little babies in.
I'll be posting reschedule details soon!



Just a quick note!

I still have spaces available for tomorrow's (Saturday the 22nd) Birth Story Circle. I limit the group to about half a dozen mamas so that this stays a small and cozy group. Babes in arms welcome!

More details are here!

Birth Story Circle

It's time to plan for the next Birth Story Circle!

A woman's birthing experience is such a powerful one, and many Mothers love to have the opportunity to share their own personal birthing story.

Birth Story Circles are small groups of Mothers, coming together to share their stories. This is a safe and non-judgmental space, where Mothers can feel supported and safe as they share.



I am so so excited to announce that I will be holding a Birth Story Circle, on Saturday 22nd November, 4-6 pm, in Sterling, Virginia.

Attendance is limited, to ensure that the group remains small, cozy and confidential. Please RSVP here to save your spot at an upcoming Birth Circle.

Babes in arms and nurslings welcome! Your first priority is to you and your baby, so please feel free to take care of your needs, to nurse, feed and change as you and your baby require.

There is no right or correct story to share. You are welcome at a Birth Circle whatever path your Birthing journey took. Please remember that Mothers each have their own story, and you may well hear stories that differ greatly from your own, including home births, cesarian sections, unassisted births, Birth Centers, Midwife deliveries and hospital births. This is a supportive space to share and receive ALL stories!

What Happens at a Birth Circle

So?! What does happen at a Birth Circle?!

Birth Circles are small groups of women, usually no more than six or seven, who come together for an evening, to share their Birthing Stories, the stories about their own labor and deliveries.

The setting may be different (a yoga studio, a home, a church room) but as a group of mothers and women, we come together, sit in a circle and share our stories with each other.



After brief introductions, each mother will have the opportunity to share her own story, uninterrupted and without judgement. Whether you choose to write out your story before hand or just tell it from memory is your own choice. The very act though of sharing your story can be deeply satisfying, healing even.

The stories each Mother brings may vary greatly; some stories will be of natural births, others will be about medicated and scheduled births. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' story to bring to a Birth Circle; ALL stories are important and should be heard!

Babes in arms are welcome, as are Mothers of all ages, whether you birthed recently or decades ago. Sharing our Birth Stories can still heal.

Our first Birth Circles are being hosted at the Be Yoga Yurt in Sterling, so we will be sharing our stories sitting on the floor. While the Yurt has blankets and bolsters to sit on, you are welcome to bring other pillows or cushions if you would like. 

Please click here for details about upcoming Birth Circles, and feel free to contact me with questions, queries or make your reservation for an upcoming Circle.
