SoulMothers Sessions

€30.00

There is a moment after birth when everything shifts: your body, your identity, your rhythms, your relationships. And yet, most women are expected to navigate this season quietly and alone.

SoulMothers Sessions are monthly, professionally facilitated gatherings for postpartum women, where we honour the truth that motherhood was never meant to be done alone. Pregnant women in their third trimester are also warmly welcomed to join and listen to the lived reality of early motherhood.

Held by Laragh Cunningham - doula, teaching yoga for 25 years, and mother of four, and Charlotte Elliott - a midwife of 18 years and mother of four, this is not a drop-in chat group. It is a carefully held, reflective space guided by deep clinical knowledge and real-life mothering experience.

Time: 11:45am - 1:15pm
Dates: April 15th, May 13th & June 10th

This is a space for:
• Honest conversation
• Shared wisdom
• The untold parts of postpartum
• Emotional processing and integration
• Community that feels steady and real

Each session includes:
• Gentle arrival and grounding
• Open, guided conversation led by what is present in the room
• Optional small group breakouts depending on themes arising
• Professional insight and local signposting where needed
• Tea, nourishment and unhurried connection

While Laragh and Charlotte bring extensive professional and clinical experience, this is not a medical clinic or advice session; individual medical guidance cannot be given. Where additional support is needed, appropriate local services will be signposted.

Babies are warmly welcome at SoulMothers Sessions, though you’re just as welcome to come on your own if you’d prefer a little time for yourself.

Spaces are intentionally limited to preserve intimacy and depth.

Please Note: We believe community support should be accessible - if the cost is a barrier for you right now, we hold 3 supported spaces each month. Text MOTHER to 086 7755236 and we’ll take care of the rest. No explanation necessary.

A little about Laragh:

Supporting women through pregnancy and early motherhood has been at the heart of my work for over twenty five years. Through pregnancy yoga, Mum & Baby yoga, doula work and my own experience as a mother of four, I have had the privilege of walking alongside many women during one of the most transformative times in their lives.

What I have always valued most is the sense of community that forms when women come together to share their experiences honestly: the joys, the challenges and everything in between. Many women have returned to my classes through multiple pregnancies, and it has been deeply meaningful to know that I have been able to support them through these important seasons.

Our SoulMothers Sessions have grown naturally from this work. It is a space for women to gather, reflect and connect as they navigate the profound transition into motherhood. My hope is that every woman who comes feels heard, supported and reminded that she is not meant to do this alone.

A little about Charlotte:

Charlotte is a midwife with over eighteen years’ experience across many areas of midwifery practice, and a mother of four. Throughout her career she has developed a particular interest in supporting physiological birth, breastfeeding and women in early pregnancy.

After moving from Belfast to Galway eight years ago, Charlotte experienced first-hand the realities of parenting away from extended family support. Through raising her stepson and welcoming three more children of her own, she has come to deeply appreciate the importance of the “village” around a mother.

Working with so many women during their transition into motherhood - often without the support networks that once existed - has strengthened Charlotte’s belief in the power of women supporting one another. This understanding sits at the heart of SoulMothers: nurturing communities where women can connect, share their experiences and feel supported not only in the early postnatal period, but throughout their journey into motherhood.
