Join Motherly for our fall Postpartum Wellness Workshop!

You're invited for a morning of conversation & community-building with other new moms.

Becoming a mother is a transformative time in a woman’s life, and in that first year with baby, we all know you can use a little extra love and care.

During this experiential half-day event, we’ll feature conversation and community-building, with programming tailored for new mothers (babies under 1 optional!). From a discussion on detoxing your #momlife to postpartum styling and mini-massages, this event is all about self-care for mama right when she needs it most.
