Having a baby in 2025?

Vancouver’s

Postpartum MOM Group

Fast becoming Vancouver’s must-have experience for new moms, our 6 week long postpartum group is the baby group with a difference: it’s all about Mom. A chance for you to be spoiled, relax, find community, share experiences, learn about resources & self-care tips, and build friendships. Essentially, come out with your own little mom tribe, feeling empowered, and ready to rock this whole mom thing!

Locations: Trout Lake Community Centre, Kitsilano Community Centre

When: Friday mornings at 10am.

Cost: Trout Lake: $150 (no guest speakers); Kits: $180 (guest speakers)

How to register: Go to the City of Vancouver Activity Registration page and filter by “The MotherFlock" (may not be available until nearer the registration date). Registration opens August 14th.

Wait, what’s the difference between the two locations?

Please note:

  • Please register for the appropriate month of your baby’s birth. E.g. May -August baby moms’ session will start in September; July - September baby moms’ will start in November.

  • Mark your calendars with the registration dates (August 14!) so you don’t miss out on a spot. You can add the class to your waitlist prior to this, to make checkout quicker on the day!

  • You might not be able to see future groups further ahead than this… keep checking as you near the birth of your baby. We run sessions throughout the year: two sessions in the spring, two in the fall, and two in the winter.

  • Interested but can’t register yet? Sign up to our email newsletter to stay on top of registration dates and to receive further news and updates.

  • Financial Assistance may be available for those that qualify through the CoV’s Leisure Access Program or Trout Lake’s subsidy program. For more info, see here.

  • No guest speakers attend this group. This means that there’s more time for building connection, getting to know your new mom friends, and driving deeper into topics like the “shoulds” of motherhood, your parenting values, and finding your unicorn space.

  • Guest speakers from a variety of postpartum fields attend this group. Fab for hearing straight from the experts and being able to ask questions on topics that are relevant to mom. The session is 1hr 15mins long.

  • It’s generally suggested to stick with location you’re closest to, as most of the other attendees will likely be closer to you. However, if you don’t mind travelling, decide what’s more important to you: building your knowledge and hearing from the experts, or connecting and sharing with other moms in the group.

Because Vancouver moms deserve more…

Connection

As Vancouver’s only 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 six weeks… this is building your own village!

Knowledge

We’ll share advice and strategies on what’s worked for us, as well as build our knowledge of some of the resources out there. For some groups, guest speakers from a variety of specialties focused on postpartum support and wellness will be sharing their tips and advice on how to thrive during the fourth trimester and beyond. Because knowledge is power!

Empowerment

We’ll be chatting and sharing experiences on matrescence, feeding, 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.

Statement of inclusivity

Here at The MotherFlock, we are committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and inclusive space for all postpartum mothers and caregivers. We celebrate the diversity of motherhood in all its forms, welcoming people of all races, ethnicities, religions, abilities, body types, gender identities, sexual orientations, and family structures.

We recognize that each journey through postpartum and parenthood is unique, and we are dedicated to creating a community where every voice is valued and respected. Whether you're navigating the joys and challenges of matrescence, finding your identity, or seeking connection, you belong here.

We acknowledge that we live, work, and gather on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.

We honor their deep connection to these lands, waters, and communities, and we are committed to learning from and supporting Indigenous voices as we move toward reconciliation.

We are all just trying to figure out this wild ride called motherhood. But isn’t it better doing it together?
