The "Young Moms Doula Support Group" is partly run by Deb McFarlane, who is one of the city's longest practicing Post Partum Doulas.
Their aim is to give a hand up to young single moms who are trying to make a better life for themselves and their children.
One such mom is Amanda, who is looking to start a Prenatal Instructor course in January. She has no family besides her 8 month old baby, and they live at a home for unwed mothers, where all of their living expenses are taken care of. At the moment, the group is endeavoring to raise the $600 in tuition needed.
Goddess Mommies of Calgary is happy to contribute whatever we can through the selling of books donated at the book exchanges through a second hand bookshop.
This is an ongoing fundraiser until the end of the year, so feel free to bring any books you would like to contribute to any of the playgroups or Moms nights out. Thank you!
A mostly natural and 'alternative' approach to parenting is mostly what the topics & guest speakers of our playgroups are about. Past playgroups have held topics such as Financial Wellness for Baby, Baby Massage, Baby Yoga, Natural Toys, Homeopathy, Making your own baby food and more. We also hold semi-annual Clothing & Book Exchanges.
