Mommy and Me Circles

A 12-week journey into Nurture Neuroscience — for you and the baby in your arms

You want to give your baby the best start. But you're deep in it now — and no one gave you the map.

Maybe you grew up in a home where love was there, but nurture wasn't quite fluent—where feelings got managed more than met. Maybe the parenting you know is behavior-based: soothe less, schedule more, don't overthink the rest. Now your baby is here, real, in your arms, needing you in ways no book fully prepared you for. Underneath the exhaustion and the endless advice, there's a quieter question:

How do I nurture my baby the way I wish I'd been nurtured—while I'm still learning to nurture myself?

You're not behind, and you're not failing. You're just working from a blueprint that was never built for this kind of connection—and that blueprint can change, starting now, together with your baby.

Nurtured Mommy & Me Circles is a 12-week guided group experience rooted in Nurture Neuroscience: the science of how safety, attunement, and co-regulation physically shape a developing brain—both your baby's and your own. Babies undergo extraordinary brain development between birth and age three, and so do mothers. Nurturing both builds circuits for lifelong mental and physical wellness, for baby and for you.

By the time your circle ends, you won't just know more about your baby. You'll feel more attuned—to your baby, and to yourself.

Grounded in the science behind The Nurture Revolution by Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum, this circle brings that research off the bookshelf and into a living room—practiced together, baby in your lap.

How It Works

Twelve weekly, 90-minute gatherings. One guiding Nurture Neuroscience Practitioner. A small circle of mothers and babies growing together.

Each session includes:

  • A nourishing practice, just for you

  • A practice to connect with your baby

  • A new, research-backed topic

  • Space to share, ask questions, and be met with support

What you get:

  • An expert to guide you and answer your questions—about your baby, and about yourself

  • A new topic and a new nurture practice every week

  • Real peer support from other mothers in your circle

The 12-Week Circle

Week 1 — Infant Brain Development How your baby's brain is actually built, and why connection—not correction—is the foundation from day one.

Week 2 — Parent Brain Development Your brain is changing too. The neuroscience of matrescence and how becoming a mother reshapes you from the inside out.

Week 3 — Nurtured Presence Something more powerful than perfect technique: your regulated, attuned presence.

Week 4 — Nurtured Empathy Reading and responding to your baby's inner world—building the empathic attunement that becomes their emotional home base.

Week 5 — Baby Chats How "serve and return" communication with your baby builds language, trust, and connection, starting with the coos and babbles happening right now.

Week 6 — Emotions and Needs Seeing behavior as communication, so you can meet the need beneath the need, in your baby and in yourself.

Week 7 — Nurturing Infant Stress Your baby's stress response system, and how your calm becomes their co-regulation—their first lesson in feeling safe.

Week 8 — Growing Space Creating physical and emotional space that supports exploration, autonomy, and secure attachment.

Week 9 — Nurtured Infant Sleep Sleep through a nurture lens—working with your baby's biology and attachment needs, not against them.

Week 10 — Ambivalence: Holding Two Feelings at Once Permission to love this season and grieve parts of your old life at the same time. Both are true. Neither disqualifies you.

Week 11 — Intuition and Interoception Rebuilding trust in your body's signals—the quiet, wise information your nervous system has been sending all along.

Week 12 — Evoking Self-Compassion and Awe Closing the circle by turning the nurture you've been giving your baby back toward yourself.

Who This Circle Is For

  • You want to parent differently than you were parented, but aren't sure how to do it day to day

  • You're deep in the fog of early motherhood and want less pressure, more grounded understanding

  • You're drawn to attachment-based, neuroscience-informed parenting rather than rigid schedules and systems

  • You want community—other mothers and babies doing this same work, in the room with you

What You'll Walk Away With

A nervous system that knows, not just a mind that knows. A felt sense of what attunement, co-regulation, and nurture actually feel like with your baby in your arms—so you're not parenting from a manual. You're parenting from a map you built together.

Ready to feel more connected — to your baby, and to yourself?
