PRENATAL AND POSTPARTUM MENTAL HEALTH WITH EMILY SUSTAR, OWNER OF THE MOTHERHOOD COLLECTIVE
Written by Ballzer on February 6, 2024
The Motherhood Collective, located on the north side, is dedicated to supporting women, mothers, and caregivers in the parenthood transition. Communities thrive when women are supported. They offer prenatal yoga, postpartum yoga, mama flow yoga, baby + me yoga, family yoga classes, childbirth education classes, lactation support classes, community events, and support groups. They firmly believe that we were not meant to muddle through the joys and challenges of the parenthood journey on our own. This is your village. Owner, Emily Sustar tells us more about The Motherhood Collective and what to expect throughout your birthing journey:
