About Us
May you find companionship at the least, and a kindred spirit at the most.
to give birth is a uniquely empowering and emotionally transformative gift.
Still, isolation during pregnancy-especially the first-and early motherhood, can feel like quicksand. While support is key, the "motherhood village" can be elusive for many of us in this modern and transient world. We must build our own.
Finding a group of mothers ready to face the motherhood journey together can bring invaluable relief and a crucial realization: it's not just you experiencing this whirlwind of emotions - and every single feeling is valid.
Though the art of personal connection may be fading, the spiritually fertile motherhood space is ideal for rediscovering it. We can feel "all over the place" - together. ~Cynthia
The ability
Past to Present
I'm Cynthia and I created Mamistad in Falls Church Virginia in 2005 in honor of my own incredible mom and life-long teacher, Guadalupe, and my own beautiful daughter, and favorite human being, Jasmine. Mamistad was created just months before my Jasmine was born. As a result, she was welcomed into a loving sisterhood of awesome women and lots of little friends!
​
Mamistad Mama Tribes are created for moms who are due or delivered their first babies within 3-4 months of one another. The goal is to connect each circle of friends early so that they, their babies and their families can continue to bond as they move through the ups and downs of their new journeys together and form an amazing Mamistad community. Our groups are currently in the NOVA/DC, Austin, TX and Denver, CO areas. We've also had successful pop-up groups in Boston, NYC, and L.A. We'll be back there and in new cities too!
​
Mamistad has now welcomed thousands of moms and formed hundreds of groups. Partners have joined in and Mamistad Communities are having BBQ's and birthday parties, camping trips and holiday gatherings, and even taking vacations together. Our members are amazing women doing great things. They range from those who just learned they are pregnant for the first time, to those of us whose kiddos started college this year! We all keep moving forward, together.
The Mamistad Podcast, Mom Chat with Mamistad, launched on Valentine's Day, 2024. It has been phenomenal! In a short time, we've shared with and learned from many incredible moms and experts.
​
Through the creation of the Mami Circle (our curated list of professionals), we launched a collaboration with experts in the perinatal field to bring amazing resources to our members.
​​​​
Future
Mamistad will continue to flourish as new members continue to join across the country. Our community will grow and evolve with this unpredictable world while we do our best to raise beautiful. loved and responsible human beings, together.
​
We will continue to strive for a world where mothers are seen, loved and celebrated and where our health and well-being is never undervalued or overlooked.
