Your first delivery can impact you forever.
Let's start the journey right
and flourish together.
MAMISTAD IS WHERE MOMS COME TO CELEBRATE
the journey of pregnancy.​If that journey is cut short for one of our sisters, our collective heart breaks.​ If she is denied proper medical care, her suffering belongs to all of us.
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.
In-person groups are currently being formed in the NOVA/DC, Denver CO and Austin, TX areas.
If you're not in these areas don't worry! There is always a community for you online and we'll continue to keep you posted about groups in your area.
*There is a one-time fee of $65-85 (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

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?
Welcome to the Mami Network.
Welcome to the Sisterhood of struggle and triumph and heartache and bliss...
Source after souce tells you to build a support system before your baby arrives. Still, many moms put it off joining a group until after, but by then they feel completely overwhelmed and ISOLATED.
The ideal scenario is to join a FIRST PREGNANCY group, because there are so many more benefits to you if you can form your Mama Arsenal while pregnant!
There's a reason we've been doing this since 2005.
