Groups & Workshops

Pregnancy is a time of excitement, anticipation, and change — but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and emotional challenges. Becoming Mom is a therapeutic support group for expectant mothers, led by a certified counsellor, a mama of two, and someone with a deep passion for supporting mamas through this transformative journey.

In this nurturing, judgment-free space, you can:

• Connect with other moms on the same path
• Share your thoughts, fears, and joys openly
• Learn strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and perinatal mood challenges
• Understand perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) and associated risk factors
• Prepare for birth and the postpartum period
• Build confidence, resilience, and a sense of community as you step into motherhood

Whether this is your first pregnancy or your next, Becoming Mom provides guidance, connection, and support to help you navigate this transformative time with confidence, care, and clarity.

Change can be powerful—but it can also feel overwhelming. Join us for a four-hour, community-centered workshop designed to support women through the transitions of perimenopause and menopause with compassion, science, and embodied care.

Led by Nurse Practitioner Marie Powell, Therapists Kayla James and Yoga Therapist Maria Hillier, this workshop blends medical insight, mental health guidance, and restorative movement. Together, we’ll explore the hormonal and emotional shifts of menopause, practice tools for nervous system regulation, and reconnect with the body through gentle yoga and breathwork.

You’ll leave with practical strategies for managing stress, advocating for yourself in healthcare settings, and feeling more at home in your changing body.
