the Mama circle
A monthly sanctuary for mums.
Welcome to The Mama Circle, a nurturing space for mums seeking support, recovery, and a sense of community. Each month, we host a calming 90-minute gathering dedicated entirely to your well-being and the unique needs of motherhood.
This is a place for you to be held as the mum. A space for you to be listened to, validated and nurtured - because you matter too.
What to expect
Our circles are designed to provide a holistic and enriching experience, featuring:
- Introduction and Sharing Circle: We begin each session with an opportunity to share anything in a safe and supportive environment (if you feel called to share).
- Nurturing Activity: Engage in hands-on activities or receive a thoughtful takeaway that aids in your emotional or physical recovery.
- Guided Relaxation and Techniques: Learn and practice relaxation techniques such as acupressure, self-massage, and gentle movement that help maintain calm and balance during the postpartum period.
- Postnatal Information Sharing: Receive valuable insights and guidance on various postnatal topics from gentle, natural, and responsive parenting perspectives, helping you to trust and follow your intuition.
- Motherhood Poetry: We conclude each circle with a beautiful poem celebrating the journey of motherhood.
- Herbal Teas: Enjoy a selection of herbal teas specially chosen for their benefits postnatally.
the venue
Our gatherings are held at a beautiful family home on Claremont Road in Surbiton. During the summer months, we meet under a stunning pergola in the garden, while in the winter, we cocoon ourselves in the warmth of the lounge.
Parking available at the house, bus stop right outside and an 8 min walk to Surbiton Station.
your host
I’m Laura, a postnatal doula committed to creating a loving, warm, and supportive atmosphere where you feel enveloped in care. My goal is to ensure that every mum leaves the circle feeling nurtured and seen.
Book your space
Tickets to each circle cost £24 which includes everything for the nurturing activity, tea and ongoing support from me whenever you need it.
Daytime Sessions, monthly Wednesdays, 10am-11.30am: These are perfect for mums with babes in arms who might still be on maternity leave. Bring your little one along and enjoy a supportive environment designed for you both.
Next date: Wednesday 11 September
Evening Sessions, monthly Fridays, 7.30pm-9pm: These are open to all mums, no matter where you are on your motherhood journey. Postnatal is forever – you are always post-birth. Come after bedtime (or hand over bedtime duties!) and take some time just for you.
Next date: Friday 13 September 2024
All dates for 2024 are in the booking links above.
