Women's Groups with Greater Manchester Doulas

This is a peer support group facilitated by doulas. The purpose of this space to for new mothers to come together and feel a sense of community. We know that postpartum can sometimes feel lonely or overwhelming, so we invite you to come along and allow yourself to exhale.

Long ago when we had that proverbial village nobody would be carrying the full weight of motherhood alone. There would be neighbours and friends on hand to help you with the laundry and with cooking, to make you a brew and hold you baby whilst you have a wee in peace. For many women now this isn’t the reality. We hope that this group can bring a piece of that village to your postpartum by providing an opportunity to be truly heard, to forge friendships and to be around other women who understand where you’re at.

Come along and we’ll make sure you’ve got a hot brew and a place to sit whilst you take a load off.

This group runs at The Energise Centre, 3 Douglas Green, Salford M6 6ES

This is a women's circle. The purpose of this space to for women to gather together to honour and take time for themselves.

During this group we usually start by getting a hot drink and settling in, we them call the circle to create a safe container for whatever the women have brought, inviting the women to share how they truly are at this moment and providing a space for reflection. We usually end with a meditation to ground you before entering back into the busy world.

You deserve this moment of peace. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to have someone make you a brew and to listen to you.

It’s okay if you’ve never been to a women’s circle before, there is no pressure to join in with any element of the group that doesn’t speak to you.
Come along and give yourself that time.
