birth and reproductive trauma peer support

birth and reproductive trauma peer support

Birth and reproductive trauma can be profoundly isolating.

For many, the most painful part was not only what happened, but how alone you felt while it was happening. Even if you weren't physically alone, no one could fully witness your fear, your pain, or your reality. You survived something overwhelming, and then carried it by yourself long after it ended.

That kind of aloneness can linger. It can shape the story your body tells and the memories that return again and again.

This monthly group is a gentle, supportive space to come together with others who understand. A place to be witnessed, believed, and held with care. Together, we share stories, tend to your nervous system, and make room for the weight of what you have carried.

Here, you do not have to hold it alone.

Here, we lean into the safety of shared humanity.

Here, the aloneness begins to soften.

CA$200.00

Parenthood can be too much and the anger, resentment, and burnout can feel heavy and isolating. ‘Mom rage’ and burnout, which often grows from the soil of carrying too much, for too long. They are not flaws or failure to fix, but emotions asking to be heard. In this space, nothing needs to be hidden or judged. You are invited to slow down, soften, and explore these feelings with safety, support, and compassion with Jess Golle, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying).

Together, we’ll share experiences, learn practical coping tools, and gain new perspectives in a supportive and safe space. Group therapy is a more affordable way to access support and can be incredibly powerful in reducing isolation, building connection, and creating gentle accountability as you move toward feeling more grounded and supported. Whether you go to therapy regularly and are looking to build community or you are new to therapy this space is for you.

We will meet on Tuesdays for 4 weeks, from 6-7pm.

infertility and loss peer support

infertility and loss peer support

The perinatal era, from fertility through to postpartum, is almost exclusively marketed as a time of joy and celebration. But what about when it isn't? What happens when we have to face death, infertility, miscarriage and loss in all of its forms? 

What if the perinatal era is actually steeped in sorrow, in grief, in disappointment. And what about the anger, the loneliness and the fear? Though rarely acknowledged these are very real and present emotions that deserve to be here too. 

You don't need to make your story smaller or quieter to uphold society's expectations; it isn't just about joy and celebration there is so much more here. Come have your voice heard, come be seen and validated in the fullness of this. We're here and we are listening.

Led by doula Courtney Jenkins, fertility specialist Sophie Goutos, and Jess Golle Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying).

When a child's nervous system is activated it can be really loud and wildly overstimulating! It can also be surprisingly quiet and unnerving. Regardless of how it manifests, a dysregulated nervous system often feels chaotic for everyone involved. 

What if you could remain the calm in that chaos? Not just for them, but also for you. 

Come explore nervous system regulation translated to practical, everyday skills. Let's choose steadiness over suppression, honesty over perfection and self-compassion over impossible expectations.

birth and reproductive trauma peer support

birth and reproductive trauma peer support

Birth and reproductive trauma can be profoundly isolating.

For many, the most painful part was not only what happened, but how alone you felt while it was happening. Even if you weren't physically alone, no one could fully witness your fear, your pain, or your reality. You survived something overwhelming, and then carried it by yourself long after it ended.

That kind of aloneness can linger. It can shape the story your body tells and the memories that return again and again.

This monthly group is a gentle, supportive space to come together with others who understand. A place to be witnessed, believed, and held with care. Together, we share stories, tend to your nervous system, and make room for the weight of what you have carried.

Here, you do not have to hold it alone.

Here, we lean into the safety of shared humanity.

Here, the aloneness begins to soften.

adding a short and simple, proven massage technique into your daily routine has proven to greatly benefit babies development and temperament. learn to better bond and connect with your baby and your local village/community in 5 weeks of one hour sessions. IAIM’s technique is best learned when your little one is 12 months old or younger, but feel free to reach out to us to discuss joining with your older kiddo.

classes are lead by me, Courtney Jenkins, a local doula and certified trainer with the International Association of Infant Massage. Access community and peer support while bonding with your little one and finding an excuse to leave the house on those lonely, boring days.

all families who attend my classes will receive handouts to complete massage in their daily lives along with a custom massage oil.

mat leave meet up.

Mat Leave Meet Up, every Thursday
CA$10.00

An intentional space for the early days of parenthood. A judgment free, come as you are space with access to perinatal care professionals. Developmentally appropriate learning opportunities for your little one in a space maintained with tiny immunities in mind. NICU grade cleaners and an air filtration system hope to offer you peace of mind around a shared public space. We have coffee, treats, community and access to answers to your questions and concerns. You’re not alone in this transition.

A thoughtfully curated space* for families in the mat/pat leave season of life; expecting/pregnant through 12 months postpartum. If your little one is under 4 months old, your visit is on us!

Build your village, gain knowledge and support from your peers and local pros. Treat yourself to a latte and a Sweets from the Earth treat.

Come as you are and when you can. We’ve got you from here.

$10 per family, pay at the door. Life is unpredictable, no need to preregister.

every Thursday from 12-2pm, because we know you’ve already been up for hours.

please keep obligate nose breathers (little folks 6 months and younger) in mind when attending. if you are feeling under the weather, plan to come another day.

*we understand how big it can feel to bring your newborn out into the world, for this reason we are here to assure you that this space is regularly deep cleaned using a NICU grade cleaner, Oxivir. This day is also only open to expecting families and little ones up to 18 months. We love siblings and are happy to see them on play cafe days.
