DEEPER CONNECTIONS

Mother Circles for Emotional Support and Connection

As mothers, many of us find ourselves absorbed in the demands of daily life; caring, organising, holding things together. In the middle of that, it’s easy to lose connection with ourselves and with other women. That’s why our Mother Circles exist; to offer mothers a facilitated space to come together, share honestly, and be listened to with care.

The circles bring together women who understand the balancing act of motherhood – caring for others while trying to make sense of their own needs. Mother Circles are held a few times a year, when there is a genuine need for connection and support. They happen when we feel the need.

You’re welcome to bring your babies. If they still need you, they are part of the circle too.

Circles are held in my wellbeing space in Moseley, Birmingham, usually from 7.30pm to 9:30pm.

The space is held with clear boundaries and confidentiality, so women can speak honestly, share what feels hard or uncertain, and know they will be listened to without interruption.There are no judgements and no unhelpful suggestions.

Our Mother Circles are not just for sharing; they’re also for listening. We don’t aim to fix anyone; instead, we hold space for one another. We actively listen and support each other on this beautifully messy journey of motherhood and life. You are safe here.

If you’re looking for connection, support, or simply a place to be heard among women who understand motherhood, you’re welcome to join the next Mother Circle.

Check the details below for the upcoming date or reach out to me directly via the Contact Me box. I can’t wait to welcome you into our loving and compassionate space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to speak in the circle?
No. You’re invited to share, but you’re never obliged to speak more than you’re comfortable with. Some women come mainly to listen, especially at first, that’s completely welcome.

Is this like therapy or counselling?
No. Sisterhood Circles are facilitated peer support, not therapy. They don’t involve diagnosis, treatment or advice. The focus is on listening, reflection and shared understanding.

What if I get emotional?
That’s okay. Circles are held with care and clear boundaries, and emotional responses are treated respectfully — without rushing you, fixing you or making it a “big thing”.

Will I be given advice?
No. The circle is not a place for unsolicited advice or problem-solving. You’ll be listened to carefully, without interruption or suggestions unless you specifically ask for them.

Can I bring my baby?
Yes. Babies are welcome if they still need you. Their presence is understood and accommodated.

What if I’m nervous or not sure this is for me?
That’s very common. Many women arrive feeling unsure or apprehensive. You don’t need to prepare anything, and you can take part at your own pace.

How many women are in a circle?
Circles are kept intentionally small so – no more than 10 – that everyone has space to speak and be heard. This helps maintain trust, safety and meaningful connection.

Is everything shared confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is a core part of how the circles are held. What is shared in the circle stays in the circle.

How do I join?
Upcoming dates are shared on this page. You’re also welcome to contact me directly if you have questions or want to check whether a circle is right for you.

– SUPPORTIVE, CALM & PROFESSIONAL –

“I already run classes for mums and babies, and I really felt drawn to delve deeper into providing more of a wellbeing element to my business (it’s so needed). Mandy has put so much work into this course and I’m really loving it.

I’m already feeling more confident about including wellbeing elements in my classes and I feel I’ve not even delved deeper into the course yet. Mandy is so supportive, and I know if ever I have any questions or wobbles about what I am doing she will be there with her calm, professional advice. You really feel held by her.

Mother Circles are so needed; I see it all the time in my classes. Mums need connection and to be held in a safe space. If you are pondering about joining, I really wouldn’t hesitate. You definitely get what you sign up for and more.”
