“The lovely ladies of Circle Moms created a space for new mamas to meet and relax together, setting an ambiance of perfect community for these wonderful warriors of love and care. It was an honor to be apart of such a stunning group of women with the sense of vulnerability and understanding that led me down the path of peace and joy, among these new friends.”

“I always looked forward to my weekly Circle! The sessions were very educational, great way to get out of the house, meet other Moms + babies, and get new tips! Baby is growing and changing so quickly in these early days - it’s so important to have a support network, even better when it’s fellow Moms with babies around the same age! ”

“I joined Circle Moms and it was great for having a regular meeting each week, where I could talk with other moms and receive the support I needed during those first few weeks with a newborn! Being my second child, it was also great for connecting with second time moms who were experiencing similar challenges around having a toddler and newborn! I also found the doula who facilitated the group extremely helpful and supportive. There was no questions she couldn’t answer, and she always informed us of the latest research with regards to our queries. ”

“Particularly during this time of isolation, I loved the opportunity to connect with fellow moms of newborns, and am grateful for the beautiful community that CircleMmos has created. Even as a second-time mom I found it useful to connect with women going through the same stage each week, and appreciated the safe space for dialogue around important topics such as postpartum emotions, feeding decisions, etc. CircleMoms has created a beautiful and supportive platform for women as we navigate early motherhood.”

“The fourth trimester is such a sweet time...both beautiful and messy, and ultimately something that passes so quickly. As a second time mama, I loved getting the opportunity to soak it all in by connecting with other mamas. There is something very special about being a mom that only other moms can understand, the circle was such an encouragement to me in that way! ”

“I liked hearing from and being able to relate to others who were going through similar experiences at the same time...getting little sleep, navigating challenges of newborn feeding/sleeping, etc...The postpartum doula and other moms in the circle shared a lot of practical resources and tips for caring for a newborn. For example, I learned new ways to put my daughter Zoe to sleep for naps and nighttime. There is too much information available online and I’ve found it more helpful to get advice directly from close friends and people in smaller forums, like the circle.”

“Being a new mom is hard and doing it in a new city is even harder. I was so happy to find a welcoming group of likeminded Moms all navigating this journey together. Dylan was not sleeping in the beginning of the group and thanks to lots of shared advice and tips I’m thrilled to say he had his first full night sleep this week! Happy baby and happy mom! ”

“For me, the most surprising thing about becoming a new mom was the emotional rollercoaster I was on when breastfeeding. I was ready for the overwhelming love and cuddles but not prepared for the anxiety and self-doubt. CircleMoms taught me there is no way to be a perfect mom but a million ways to be a great mom. Very grateful for my CircleMom community!

“Having grown up in Greenwich, I have friends in the area but found myself spending most of my pregnancy looking for a new moms group. I wanted to find and connect with other women experiencing the same major life changes I was facing, especially during this difficult and weird pandemic. Pregnancy was really isolating so it was important to me to find other people who could relate. I was so happy to find Circle Moms, not only because I was able to meet other moms in my area, but because of the inclusion of a postpartum doula, which was more of an invaluable resource than I could have imagined. I loved how each week we covered different topics that truly spoke to new motherhood and we were also given a forum on which we could write to each other and connect in between our meetings. I now have friends I have made through this group, and feel so much more supported in my difficult transition of becoming a mom. I look forward to getting together with the moms from my group in the future and continuing the bond we made through our group!”

“It’s been wonderful to connect with other new moms and have a comfortable place to ask questions. Just this week I received really helpful advice about how to get my son to take a bottle from someone other than me!”

“I loved having other moms to relate to, but also appreciated the insight of our postpartum doula when it came to questions on feeding, sleeping and everything else related to keeping a tiny human alive! ”

“Last week we focused on mental health and well-being. We all shared our insecurities as mothers, particularly when it pertains to how we react to unsolicited comments or advice on how to raise our child. It was great to hear other’s stories, laugh about them, and realize that I’m not alone.”

“CircleMoms helped me navigate so much of the often overlooked parts of motherhood. From finding a nanny, sleep schedules, and just the everyday challenges of keeping a tiny human alive and thriving. It is such a blessing to meet other moms and to have a community to turn to and share all the triumphs and challenges of mommy life.”

“Becoming a first-time mom was a completely foreign land for me. I had few peers going through it at the same time to lean on. It has been a huge blessing to meet open-minded women willing to navigate alongside me - sharing all their tips, tricks, and time. Sometimes just a simple text makes all the difference when you’re in a breastfeeding diaper vortex all day.”

“I so looked forward to CircleMoms every week! It was amazing to have an hour to chat with other moms who were going through many of the same things. We were able to build connections quickly because everyone was so open and supportive. And, I loved our doula/facilitator Dior. She had great advice without ever suggesting that there’s only one right way to do things”

“New parenthood can be so overwhelming and isolating, so I loved having a community of mamas to check in with every week. The addition of topics and a Lactation Consultant/ Doula was also so beneficial. I felt like I had support beyond my own circles.”

“I enjoyed meeting other moms with newborns and having the group facilitated by a postpartum doula. I learned so much and most importantly was able to build a virtual community and not feel so isolated during this pandemic.”

“I loved the CircleMoms community. It was great to hear about how others had the same questions and concerns that I did. It was even better to get some answers and useful tips. Shout out to the second-time parents! Overall, it was super helpful to share my story and it was gratifying to be able to provide emotional support for others who shared their stories”

“I love how we’re all at a similar phase and can speak candidly about our experiences because you know at least one person on the call gets it. It’s also just such a wonderful weekly outlet to interact with other women and feel seen. A friend told me about CircleMoms and I will definitely continue the word of mouth chain by letting other pregnant and recently delivered friends know about it.”
