Blossoming Mums Birth Circle

Join a community of pregnant women for 6 weeks preparing for birth.

Join other pregnant women for 6 weeks for 2 hours. Through art, sharing and movement we create space for sharing and receiving and become part of a community of others sharing the experience of pregnancy and becoming a mother. Activities such as yoga, breathwork, relaxation techniques, and birth art are some of what's included. The circle is for 10 women. Lactation consultant and Doula guest speaker Virginia Alonso will be joining us. Think of it as a space that holds and nourishes you as you move through this big change.

Birth Art Workshops

Preparing pregnant women for birth from within.

Birth Art is a gentle, two-hour workshop designed for pregnant women to explore the inner landscape of birth through creativity and reflection. These sessions offer a calming, nourishing space to pause, express, and make sense of the changes unfolding within you—and the powerful journey ahead. No art experience is needed—this is not about creating a masterpiece. It’s about the process, the expression, and what it reveals. Come with an open heart and curious mind, and discover what it means to birth from within.

We attended a warm, supportive birth course that empowered us and gave us confidence and clarity. From the start, we felt welcomed with tea, dates, and nuts in a beautiful, calming space. We learned about the birth process, hormones, and how my partner can support me during labor. Irida listened to us with care and guided us through practical movements to use before and during birth. And it helped to identify our birth wishes. A great mix of useful info and hands-on practice.

It's nice to be supported by fellow women. To talk, to listen and then move and then come home with a rested mind body.

The women's circle are moments of rest, reflection and inspiration about my womanhood. It strengthens me, supports me and brings me so much joy. Irida creates a beautiful, necessary space, that I wish for every woman that longs for this.

The women's circle has given me a community I have been longing for, as a woman and a mother, sharing life's highs and lows and really seeing and supporting one another. Irida offers a space where women can be themselves, share their wisdom and feel embodied through movement and sound.

I attended Irida’s birth art workshop in April. I didn’t have any particular expectations, and I don’t consider myself especially artistic or creative, but I’m interested in new experiences and learning about pregnancy and birth. That made me all the more pleasantly surprised by the whole experience, which gave me a sense of calm and trust in myself and the process. Irida’s calm and gentle energy, along with her compassionate and non-intrusive approach, certainly contributed to that as well. I would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone considering it.
