Bringing connection, confidence and joy to the early parenting journey

Join a Mama Circle
Motherhood can be deeply beautiful—and also overwhelming, isolating and emotionally intense in ways many women aren’t prepared for.
 
At Mama Folk, we create small, supportive spaces where mothers in the early years of parenting can slow down, connect deeply and feel more held in their experience.

mama circles

A small, guided circle for mothers in the first year of motherhood.

These circles offer a gentle, supportive space to slow down and:

+ connect with other mothers in a real, grounded way

+ explore identity, overwhelm, and adjustment to life with a baby

+ feel heard, supported and less alone

This is not a drop-in group. It is a closed 6-week circle, allowing trust and connection to build over time.

Details: 

+ 2-hour weekly sessions

+ Small group size (4-6 women)

+ Bendigo-based (home space)

+ Babies welcome

about me

Hi there, I’m Belinda. 
 
A postpartum doula and motherhood support practitioner based in Bendigo.
 
After becoming a mother in 2016, and then again in 2019, I became deeply interested in the emotional and identity shifts that occur during postpartum—and how little support many women in our culture receive during this transition.
 
Mama Folk grew from that lived experience and a desire to create more honest, grounded spaces for mothers in the early years of parenting.
 
Alongside a background in teaching, I have studied the works of Gordon Neufeld, Rudolf Steiner and Aletha Solter. I have also completed training through Community Supported Postpartum, Newborn Mothers and Dr Sophie Brock. 

You don't need to do motherhood alone

If you feel called to more connection, more support and more honesty in this season—you are warmly welcome.

“It’s time to start a new tradition – a movement – of postpartum care: one that honours the past and that will carry us, and our children, more kindly and happily into the future.”
