Support Group for Mothers - Emeryville, California

Jessica Gould Deitch

Jennifer’s mom group is wonderful! I participated in her group for second and third time moms and am so glad I did. Her group felt so grounding and comforting during a time of total chaos (not to mention it gave me a reason to leave the house!). Jennifer is warm, knowledgeable, and does a lovely job at facilitating a group where everyone gets a chance to share and get to know each other. I especially appreciated her emphasis on making sure we all had the option to meet regularly outside of the group in order to continue building a great community of moms. She is an encyclopedia of knowledge about infants, feeding, pelvic floor recovery, and referrals to other providers, basically all things postpartum. I highly recommend her groups!!

Jennifer's groups are amazing. I have been in her Support Group for Mother's twice with my first two babies and will definitely go back for #3. She is incredibly knowledgeable and for someone like me that prefers an attachment focused gentle approach she was literally perfect. She offered me consult and referred me to resources out of the group too. She was really great and I met some wonderful East Bay moms who are still friends 🙂 Highly recommend.

I was so grateful to have found this group as a second time mom! Jennifer facilitated a warm, caring, comprehensive and informative environment where I felt at ease sharing the truth of my experience. It's incredibly valuable to see the same women each week and bond together as your babies grow. I would sign up for this support group over and over. I wish I had found it with baby #1! Thank you, Jennifer, for providing such a wonderful experience for us mothers!

Jennifer helps to foster such a supportive, nurturing and helpful environment. She has an incredible amount of expertise that she lends, but also helps to facilitate sessions to allow mothers to learn from and support one another.

I found the first time mom’s support group to be an absolute life saver and huge support during my first months with my first child. I am not sure how I would have emotionally managed getting through those sleepless times without this group! Thanks for all you do for moms, Jennifer.

I joined Jennifer's new mom support group when my son was about 6 weeks old. It was one of the best things I did postpartum. Attending the group sessions and weekly outings helped me gain confidence going out and about with my baby. It was great to have the support and connection with other moms in the same exact phase of new-motherhood.

The mother’s group was such a wonderful experience and Jennifer is an amazing facilitator. I looked forward to every meeting of our moms group and it was great to have a safe space where we could discuss any topic in depth. It gave me a group of moms who I trust and have formed amazing bonds of friendship with!
Highly recommend for any new mother

I joined Jennifer's group after having my first baby and had such a great experience I signed up for the "second time" mom's group as soon as I could. This was a fantastic way to adjust to being a new mom, getting out of the house, making some friends, having FUN, and I think it really saved me from going down a hole of post-partum depression. There are free mom's groups out there, but the facilitated format of this one is well worth the price and you will get so much out of it. Jennifer is a wealth of knowledge and understands being a new parent so well. Highly recommend!

I am sooooo happy that I did a first time mom's group with Jennifer. It made a huge difference in my mental health. Jennifer is a deeply warm, caring soul, and she also has lots of practical wisdom regarding sleep, feeding, teething, etc. The room where the moms meet every week is fully stocked with a changing table, nursing pillows, snacks, tea, and comfortable seating -- very mom and baby friendly. And Jennifer is a good listener/moderator -- encouraging while still validating the struggle. Now that my group has "graduated," we still meet up on our own, and I hope we will for years to come. So grateful to Jennifer for the time she gave us, and for setting us up to support each other without her too. If you are on edge about doing a group, go for it. Having other mom's to connect with makes all the difference.
