A gentle, supportive space designed for new and seasoned mothers and their tiny humans
This four-week mindful movement series blends yoga, breath work, mobility, and therapeutic group conversation to support both the physical and emotional transition into motherhood.
Each session lasts approximately 90 minutes and is intentionally designed to move at the pace of motherhood. Babies are always welcome to cry, sleep, feed, or be held during class, there is no expectation for stillness or perfection, this is the “everything goes space”
Every week we gather in a circle to connect, move, breathe, and reflect together, to build a sense of communitea.
Many women who attend these circles stay connected long after,
often forming friendships that continue through the early years of motherhood.
Who This Circle Is For
The Mama Nest is designed for mothers with babies 0–12 months who are longing for space to slow down, reconnect, and be supported during this season of motherhood.
This series may feel especially supportive if you are looking to:
• reconnect with your body after birth
• support and regulate your nervous system
• share the experience of motherhood with others who understand
• build meaningful community with other mothers
Both mobile and non-mobile babies are warmly welcome. A small area will be set up for babies who are on the move so they can explore safely nearby while you participate.
You are invited to come exactly as you are — tired, joyful, overwhelmed, curious, or somewhere in between.
You and your tiny human belong in the Nest

What Is Cacao?
Cacao has been used traditionally throughout South & Central America for thousands of years as a way to connect deeper into the heart space. Unlike some plant medicines, cacao does not produce a hallucinogenic experience. The spirit of this plant focuses on a more subtle level of inner shifts and expansions.
By opening the heart, cacao allows one to connect to their truest self.
Providing space to process and release blockages, while realigning with the medicine we hold within.
Cacao circles help us to turn inwards, learn more about ourselves and explore our paths.
Sourcing and honouring culture is of extreme importance to me! I have travelled to various Central and South American countries over the last five years, sourcing and developing many relationships, from the growing, to the harvesting, to the packing and the shipping.
Cacao Currently Offered in Circles
Oaxaca, Mexico
From the villages of La Chinantla and Chimalapa
It is grown on small family properties by dear friends Ruth and Ervit and harvested twice a year between November - December and April - May.
