Mother and Baby Sharing Circle
Join a warm and welcoming experience in The Canvas, created for pregnant, birthing parents, new mums and their babies. This monthly community gathering offers a supportive space to talk openly about pregnancy, early parenthood and the journey of matrescence.
Whether you are preparing for your baby's arrival or adjusting to life as a new parent, you are invited to connect with others who understand the highs, challenges and changes that come with this stage of life.
Together, we create a safe, compassionate and confidential environment where everyone is listened to without judgement. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. There is space for conversation, reflection, laughter, tears and mutual support.
Everything shared within the circle remains confidential, helping to build trust and a genuine sense of community.
The session is facilitated by Mel from Wrap a Hug Sling Library, an experienced mother, babywearing consultant and parent support practitioner who has been supporting families for more than 11 years. Mel also co-runs the Tower Hamlets Family Meet-up, helping local parents build lasting connections.
You can find all the information you need on the ‘Wrap a Hug’ website.
