Step 1.

Sign up for a circle based on your due date (join anytime 0-3 months post-birth)

We recommend signing up in advance of the baby’s birth to ensure you have a spot! Or join the waitlist if your due date doesn’t line up with current circle signups.

Step 2.

Receive additional information/logistical info a few days before your first circle.

Step 3.

On the day of your circle: meet your postpartum doula and your circle of mamas for the first time— yay!

Now you are officially a member of our community. The sharing, learning, and connections begin!

Step 4.

We’ll invite you to join the CircleMoms Slack group — this is where you communicate with your specific circle and doula as well as past CircleMoms for advice and support beyond the 4th trimester. You’ll have access to this platform well beyond your circle to help you keep in touch and build new relationships with other mamas in our community.

Step 5.

Meet with your doula and circle once a week for 5 or 6 weeks (depending on your location). Each week we’ve planned topics and created handouts that are most relevant to you and your baby during the 4th trimester. Enjoy walks and coffee meetups in between circles with your new mom friends.

Step 6.

Continue to keep in touch with your circle on Slack & neighborhood meetups.
