supporting your journey in motherhood
oh | MAMAS provides space for honest, compassionate, supportive, community minded mothers. Through therapeutic facilitated group sharing and conscious body awareness we support mothers at many stages of motherhood.
About the group
Join weekly facilitated peer support groups for women connecting to their experience of becoming and being a mother. A compassionate sharing space for women with children of all ages, held in our light-filled studio.
‘Meeting Motherhood’ opens the space for mothers, an inclusive group where all mothers are welcome.
‘Motherhood With A Difference’ opens this space for mothers of children with a difference, or SEND.
‘Meeting New Motherhood’ opens this space for mothers of babies and pre-school children.
We believe in the power of community. ‘Facilitated peer-support’ means mothers supporting one another, wherever they are in their journey, with skilful practitioners at hand who are there to provide safety and containment in what can feel like complex times. We all need community around us along this journey.
Previous groups have discussed birth stories, loss, transitions, breastfeeding, relationships, sleep, ageing (mother and child), grandparents, illness, partners, nutrition, intimacy… the list goes on.
Sessions are facilitated by Helen Moss and Jess Austin who bring their experiences as mothers and as therapeutic practitioners to the group.
Helen Moss is a qualified therapeutic yoga practitioner and invites attendees to explore breath work and gentle movement. These practices are helpful for the body and mind. The group then opens as a space for talking and sharing, and you don’t need any experience of yoga to benefit.
Bring your baby… or bring a friend
Bringing a friend is always a great company.
Babies are welcome and often enjoy being in the space. If you’d thinking to bring your older child (to pre-school age) please email groups@ochrehouse.org to discuss whether it will be a suitable group.
We ask Mamas to consider that the sessions are 90 mins and that some sessions can bring emotional content. We do not have any childcare support.
