events and workshops
The transformative time of early motherhood can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming and leave us with more questions than answers. There is so much to navigate during the perinatal year and sometimes we do not know where to turn to for resources to help us navigate all these new experiences.
Join us at Metta Mama starting in January for a free perinatal education series where we will cover topics ranging from hormonal health, to sleep, to pelvic floor health. Learn how to navigate your new normal from experienced practitioners that will help guide you to feel more confident in your body, in your mind, in your relationship, and in your new job caring for your precious little one.
