Weekend Intensive at Mother Luna in Guilford, Connecticut

Birth Prep Series Signup

Prepare for birth with confidence in this interactive, two-session childbirth education meeting on Saturday mornings at Mother Luna. Through evidence-based education, meaningful discussion, and experiential learning, you'll gain practical tools, partner support strategies, and the confidence to navigate labor, birth, and informed decision-making.

This series is ideal for:

  • First-time parents preparing for birth
  • Parents welcoming another baby who want a fresh perspective or a different birth experience
  • Partners who want to feel confident supporting the birthing parent
  • Anyone looking for a more personalized, discussion-based childbirth education experience

childbirth education designed to help you approach labor with confidence, knowledge, and a sense of calm.

Using the labyrinth as a model for labor, this class helps parents draw and trace their own labyrinth—building a felt, body-level sense of how to move through uncertainty, disorientation, and determination, so they're ready to do the same in birth. The path in mirrors labor's approach to meeting your baby; the path out mirrors the journey through postpartum—making the labyrinth a tool for both.

Draw and trace a labyrinth to prepare your mind and body for labor's unknowns.

teaching the labyrinth

"Birth is a labyrinth not a maze. Mazes have wrong ways and dead ends, forcing you to retrace your steps and try a different route, but labyrinths, while seemingly complex, have a singular path that winds into the center, and back out again. Walking the labyrinth, you only need to put one foot in front of the other and keep going."

--Birthing From Within

You’ve spent months preparing for birth. Now let's prepare for everything that comes after.


THRIVING AFTER BIRTH RETREAT

BIRTH RETREAT SIGNUP

Thriving After Birth is a one-day retreat thoughtfully created for expecting mothers in their second or third trimester. Come prepare for life after birth with confidence, community, and care.

Led by local postpartum experts, this small-group retreat blends real-life insights, movement, nourishing meals, and hands-on planning to help you feel grounded—not blindsided—in early motherhood.

Mother Luna is a nurturing and inclusive space dedicated to empowering mothers and their families at every stage of their journey — from pregnancy through all phases of motherhood.

I have been working alongside Liz Kelly, owner of Mother Luna, since the beginning of my doula journey, and I'm honored to bring this circle to the community she's built for families across the Shoreline Connecticut area.

Within that space, I get to hold a circle that prioritizes your physical and mental well-being, and offers opportunities to learn, connect, share, and be part of a community that understands the realness of motherhood.
