Because You Matter
Because Moms are
So Very Important
Because We’re All Enriched by Sharing Our Stories
We hope you’ll leave feeling a little
more settled, soothed, supported and
connected to your own internal resources.
How the Zoom Call Works:
We start with a welcome and introduction to the call
We listen deeply to 2 Moms for about 20 minutes each
Moms have an opportunity to share something about birth, loss, postpartum, mothering etc. for 3-5 minutes without interruptions. Moms with children of all ages are welcome, including Moms of grown children.
Our first listener, Chris or Trish, reflects your story back to you and checks if she's understanding you.
Our next listener, Suzanne, asks about what Sensations or Feelings you might have been experiencing or are experiencing right now. All Feelings are invited. Tears and laughter are healing and are always welcome. Feelings can help guide us towards what matters to us.
Our last listener, Neeta or Stephanie, asks you about what might be deeply important to you or what you could be longing for. These are sometimes called our Universal Human Needs. We love hearing you say "yes" or “no” as you connect with what is important for you.
As we wrap up, if you like, you can share about how your body is feeling in the present moment as well as what it was like for you to share your story out loud and to be listened to in this way.
We close the call with a quote and an opportunity for everyone to share something that was meaningful for them today.
First Monday of each month is dedicated to Celebrations!!
Important Notes:
This isn’t therapy.
We are just women who understand that
Everyday emotional support is nurturing.
Each story deserves loving attention.

Signing With Babies & Young Children
After the Moms Matter calls we have time for informal conversation. I LOVE talking about Signing with Babies and young children. Using Sign Language with my kids was such a wonderful and connecting part of parenting for me. I keep learning ASL even though I am still far from fluent or even conversational.
You can start Signing with your babies and children by using Signs that are fun and relevant to you and your children. I LOVE to talk about Signing with Babies and Young Children and am available after any Moms Matter call.
Hope to meet you soon!!
