This month’s topic is Sex, Intimacy & Connection in Pregnancy and Beyond + Connecting with Your Baby with special guest speaker Dr. Heather Keppen, MEd, PhD, LCPC – Behavioral Health Therapist
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum bring many physical and emotional shifts that can impact intimacy, connection, and self-identity. Join us for an open, supportive discussion about nurturing your relationship, rebuilding intimacy, and fostering emotional closeness with your partner and baby. Dr. Keppen will offer insights, strategies, and a safe space to explore these important topics with compassion and understanding.
What is The Village Prenatal & Postpartum Gathering?A Community Prenatal is a sacred, communal gathering that nourishes and celebrates those on the journey of motherhood—whether you are expecting, postpartum, or simply holding space for others. It is a space to connect, share wisdom, and empower yourself with knowledge for pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and family wellness.
Each month, we offer free educational classes, discussions, and hands-on activities to support families in navigating holistic health. These gatherings are for anyone who feels called to connect—pregnant, postpartum, birth workers, or those planning for a future pregnancy.
Why do we offer this for free?Because education, community, and support should be accessible to all. We believe in empowering families with holistic tools and wisdom so they can make the best choices for their relationships, birth, and beyond.
Come as you are. Your sisterhood is waiting.
