Online and Facebook Support Groups Near Me
Perhaps you feel you have enough support from your friends? If that’s the case, that is absolutely wonderful! However, if you feel you need a little more companionship and community, there are many incredible groups at your disposal. Community groups can be especially helpful during those long nights (and days) to bounce ideas off, and just seek companionship. These groups hold a range of different people with a range of different perspectives! Consequently, they also hold a tonne of knowledge. If you need help connecting, please reach out.

Do you need more support than this?
Birth Doula
Feel held and supported with continuous care throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. We’ll meet, work through your fears and hopes and create a plan, together. I am on call for your birth and come to you for appointments before and after your experience.
Lactation Consults
Work through your struggles and difficulties breastfeeding. Do you have questions or need support? Lactation consults are so much more than breastfeeding help! We can work through a feeding plan and touch on sleep and settling support as well.
Calmbirth Classes
Feel informed and empowered to make your own decisions! Let’s work through the physiology and psychology of birth together, map out your birth and clear any old, limiting fears to make way for positivity in your experience. Feel knowledgeable and prepared for your birth & postpartum.
