Held in Hope: Navigating Maternal/Pregnancy-Related Health Challenges Together

Join us for a compassionate 60-minute gathering for women and birthing parents who have experienced medically complex pregnancies or losses due to maternal health challenges. Includes physical, emotional, and medical complications before, during, and after pregnancy.

Whether you've faced a T-shaped uterus, uterine anomalies, incompetent/dynamic cervix, preeclampsia, HELLP, preeclampsia, PPROM, IVF complications, hyperemesis gravidarum, blood clotting disorders, fallopian tube related challenges, recurrent loss, placental abruption, gestational diabetes, postpartum hemorrhage, PMADS, or other complications, this space offers understanding and connection. These are just some examples, as the list is vast. These complications are often complex, high-risk, and misunderstood by others.

Come ready to share, listen, and be supported in a community that honors your journey and the profound impact of pregnancy-related health challenges.

  • The journey of love, loss and life after loss looks different for everyone. Return to Zero: HOPE will be hosting a workshop series designed to provide supportive spaces for the diversity of our lived realities that come with our individual pregnancy and infant loss experiences. Our hope is to provide helpful resources and tools that encourage holistic healing. These workshops will uniquely support parents and providers through a trauma informed, resilience-focused, somatic approach.

    These workshops will be interactive. There will be time to share, time to write and reflect, and in some sessions opportunity more movement. Please have available a water bottle, paper and pencil, and a quiet space.

    Consider joining a workshop if:

    -It is true to your lived experience
    -You want to better understand a topic to support loved ones
    -It piques your interest
    -It feels like it might be supportive to where you are on your journey.

    All are welcome.
