Come join me at this free monthly gathering. Through sharing our experiences and being open and honest, we can discuss, discover, and create a wonderful joyful community, where we uplift, support, and celebrate one another on our journeys, from preconception through parenthood. Do you have a positive and empowering birth story you want to share with others? Are you pregnant or currently in the midst of parenthood, searching for information but not finding it in the ‘mainstream’? Does pregnancy, birth, and parenting in the mainstream sense just not make sense to you? One pregnancy, one birth at a time, the world can change. Come out and meet like-minded women, share information peer-to-peer on all aspects of natural family living, learn something new, gain confidence in your innate parenting abilities, and most of all, reconnect to your inner wisdom!  It is my hope that we leave each month feeling enriched, valued, and nurtured, a community of women gathered together, keeping it real. All of the infinite wisdom of the universe is within us.
