New Moms

Since 2005

None of us plan to feel isolated. It happens before we realize it.

If you're pregnant, let's avoid it. If your baby's here, let's overcome it. 

How it Works

Mamistad forms first-time pregnant and new moms' groups for moms who are due or delivered their first baby within 3-4 months of one another.
Our goal: to ease the transition to new motherhood through curated support groups, while providing information
and resources via our website and podcast,

In-person groups are currently being formed in the NOVA/DC, Denver CO and Austin, TX areas.  If you're not in these areas, submit your form anyway and we'll get back to you if we hear from more moms in your area! 
*There is a one-time fee of $67-87 (based on location) to be placed in up to two groups (if there are two available). Fee may be paid in two payments if necessary. 

Why It Works

MATRESENCE. . ."the process of becoming a mother... It's a holistic change in multiple domains of your life. You're going to feel it perhaps bodily, psychologically...with your peer groups...at your job... in terms of the big philosophical questions....

...When we don't talk about it, the myth of motherhood as this idyllic oasis is perpetuated in our culture...Talking about what's happening with you with other moms is such a pillar of support."​

~Aurélie Athan, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology

Columbia University​

Throughout their pregnancy journey, however long it may be, mothers deserve the highest standard of care - emotionally, mentally and physically.

The Truth . . first-time moms are often blindsided by many aspects of new motherhood - it's tough!  Despite all their planning, they aren't prepared for the transition to motherhood.  Having your first baby is likely one of the most impacting, life-changing and overwhelming things you'll ever do. 

MOM CHAT, the Mamistad Podcast was launched on February 14, 2024 to share all the amazing lessons we've learned, stories we've lived and brilliance we've encountered (we work with lots of amazing experts) on our collective motherhood journeys as a Sisterhood of  Mamas. Do you have a motherhood story to share?
