This group meetings once a month for two hours in our GROW Wellness Center, 37 Lincoln Street Essex Junction. VerMamas is about YOU, so please come without your baby. We know this may feel strange, but have found that the group is so much more valuable if we are in a space without babies for this short period of time.
Having a baby transforms our lives in the most amazing, unpredictable and challenging ways. In the best of times, there is not a lot of support for people during the postpartum period when they are trying to figure out how to take care of a baby, potentially go back to work, and define their new identity with little sleep and a lot of emotions.
Potential topics covered:
Partnerships – communication and expectations
Balancing work/life and career transitions
Feeding/Sleeping
Sex after baby
Motherhood – cultural messages and ideas
Body Changes/ Body Image/Acceptance
Parenting philosophies/values
Goals and dreams
