HONEST MOMS COMMUNITY + SUPPORT GROUPS
Honest Moms is a community that originated from our midwives' desire to see their clients support each other and thrive through this intense, crazy and amazing journey called motherhood. Prenatal and postpartum mamas are welcome. Several of our providers are involved in organizing the group and there is also a private forum on facebook for virtual communication! We have Honest Moms Meet-ups, Honest Moms Night Out as well as Honest Moms Playdates. Meet-ups are sometimes attended by guest speakers covering hot-topics and always hosted by at least one of our providers.
