Our Groups
Motherhood is one of the biggest transitions a person can experience - but it’s rarely supported the way it should be. Prioritizing community, The MotherFlock groups bring moms together to share experiences, learn from one another, and feel supported through the many changes that come with early motherhood. Our Gather, Grow, and Thrive groups are thoughtfully designed for different stages of the postpartum journey, offering connection, reflection, and peer support as mothers grow into this new chapter of life.
“Gather”
1 - 4 months postpartum
For brand-new moms in the thick of survival mode who want to feel heard, understood, and less alone as they recover, recalibrate, and want to start building their village.
Topics examples: Birth stories, matrescence, mental healthLocations: Vancouver (Trout Lake & Kitsilano Community Centres), Burnaby, North Vancouver, Langley
“Grow”
4-8 months postpartum
For moms who are finding their footing and ready to build confidence, routines, and relationships while navigating the real-life stuff like starting solids, money, mental load, and finding themselves amongst all of it.
Topics examples: The mental load, 'power pauses', relationshipsLocations: Vancouver (The Childbearing Society), Burnaby, North Vancouver, Langley
“Thrive”
8-12 months postpartum
For moms who are looking beyond survival toward strength, support, and what’s next - reclaiming their bodies, careers, and sense of self as this first wild year wraps up.
Topics examples: Mental health, 'Unicorn spaces', & careersLocations: Vancouver (The Childbearing Society)
Because Vancouver moms deserve more…
Connection
As Vancouver’s most-talked about closed, in-person postpartum support group, our priority to to connect you with other moms who are at the exact same stage as you. Bond over the chaos and cultivate lifelong friendships over the weeks… this is building your own village!
Validation
One of the benefits of being connected with other moms at a similar stage, is that we can all be resources for each other. We’ll share advice and strategies on what’s worked for each of us, as well as build our knowledge of some of the supports out there. But really, the truth is, nobody knows what they’re doing! Sometimes knowing you’re not alone in this journey, is really what we need. Because isn’t it better figuring it all out together?
Empowerment
We’ll be chatting and sharing experiences on matrescence, identity shifts, birth stories, mental health, and surviving the everyday! Because prioritizing yourself, allows you to be the best version of yourself for your baby.
“Joining this group has been one of the best choices I’ve made in my postpartum journey. I can’t recommend it enough.”
“Joining MotherFlock was the single best decision I made after giving birth. To be part of a circle of other moms where we could be so vulnerable and honest with each other was so powerful! No sugar coating, just real life sharing and real life connection. It's no wonder it was a fast track to making friends! I am so grateful to Gemma for her hard work and dedication to making MotherFlock a reality. It has been life changing for me and I wish every new mom could join such a group. I look forward to sharing the highs and lows of motherhood with my Flock for years to come.”
— Former group memberWhat People Are Saying
“I am so genuinely thankful to have found my flock! Gemma has created such a beautiful, supportive, and judgment-free space for new moms to navigate the challenges of postpartum life. This group gave me a glimpse of the kind of motherhood I had always hoped for—connected, compassionate, and shared with others who truly understand. I’ve made meaningful friendships with other moms on the same journey, and that has made all the difference. The weekly guest speakers were an incredible bonus, offering valuable insights into caring for both our babies and ourselves, and helping us gently return to movement and wellness. I can’t recommend this group enough!”
— Former group memberJoining the MotherFlock group was a really helpful and enjoyable way to connect with others while settling into life with my newest little one. I attended the Trout Lake group, and it quickly became the highlight of my week. Gemma is an absolute gem—she has a true gift for bringing moms together and creating a warm, welcoming space where real connection and community flourish. Her ability to spark meaningful conversations and foster support among moms made such a difference during those early, often overwhelming months. I would strongly encourage any new mom to join—this group is something really special.”
