BirthWays New Moms Group Berkeley

Posted on by

BirthWays New Moms Group in Berkeley starts May 1.

From the facilitator, Stacia:

“BirthWays is offering a support group for moms that starts Tuesday May 1st that still has a few spots left. It is a 6 week facilitated group for moms and their babies (0-4 months old) from 2:00-3:30 that runs Tuesdays from May 1st to June 5th.

We start each group with a check in and then go with the topics that arise from the group. Everything from green poop (is that normal??) to the shifting relationships we have with ourselves, our parents, our partners, our friends and our careers gets discussed.
 
I encourage the moms to meet outside of group time to ensure bonds -many groups stay in touch and have get togethers to celebrate their babies birthdays for years to come.
 
For many moms it is one of the first places they feel safe venturing out and caring for their babies on their own.
 
The group is led by me, Stacia Biltekoff. I am a former birth and postpartum doula, currently working on a Masters in Counseling Psychology and single mom to a seventeen year old. I’ve been in the field for over 15 years and have served more than 500 women and their families.”

2nd Time Mom’s Group starts in March

2nd Time Mom’s Group Oakland

Great group for moms who have just had their 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) baby. We focus on the joys, challenges & humorous moments of this rite of passage, as we move forward into motherhood again and with this new baby. It is a 6 session facilitated group which focuses on helping moms build a community and meet other 2nd time moms with babies of similar ages. There is something about going through a shared experience, while recognizing that each mom’s experience is unique, that leads to great connection and support.

The 6 week facilitated portion is a weekly 2 hour meeting where moms share their experiences, questions, concerns, and get tips on all sorts of topics.  My focus is on nonjudgemental support and building connection between the moms, since this can be an overwhelming and isolating time for many moms.  I also provide psycho-education (as desired) on different topics including infant development, sibling development, sleep/feeding questions, changes in relationships and family dynamics, transition to motherhood, feelings re: going back to work or not, postpartum health, and identity as a mom.  The group offers lots of support and perspective that can be especially helpful after some sleepless nights!

In addition, we help organize a second meeting during the week for a social outing where moms get together to go for walks or cafe visits, etc. Our last groups have offered free talks with q&a time with a Sleep Consultant and/or  Lactation Consultant. This option is available and arranged on a group to group basis based on the group’s desires. This group will be facilitated by Natashia Fuksman, LMFT.
