Introducing Meraki Mama Collective: Empowering Women's Wellness

At Meraki Mama Collective, our wellness space is dedicated to nurturing and supporting mothers and birthing people. We strive to create a safe space for connection and community, as well as teaching the beauty of self-care. Our mission is to facilitate mindfulness, safe effective movement practices, and healing through transformation. We believe in the reemergence of the Divine Feminine and, that it is time to find balance, wholeness, and ultimately heal to become the greatest version of ourselves.

Here's what you can expect from MMC:

  • We're here to help you on your journey. We're a resource, a community, and a collective consciousness of feminine power for those who are ready to fully embrace their lives.

  • We use a variety of methods and modalities to encourage wholeness, nurture intuition, and support wellness in all systems, to assist in healing.

  • Our space is designed to empower women and birthing people to develop positive, healthy visions of their bodies as they transition through the various stages of the childbearing journey. From conception to pregnancy, birth, and beyond, we are with you every step of the way.

  • We aim to inform, inspire, and support expectant parents as they prepare for a healthy and joyful passage into parenthood.

  • Our team of experts provides professional training in safe and effective yogic practices during all cycles of the childbearing year and beyond.

Find your center and own your birth experience. We got you, mama! Founded and led by a badass BIPOC woman, we offer judgement-free support for modern birthing moms.

Our goal is to empower women to make informed decisions about their birth journey and provide a safe and supportive environment for them to do so. We believe that every woman has the right to choose how and where she gives birth and that her experience should be one that she can look back on with pride and joy. Our team of experienced doulas and perinatal yoga teachers are here to provide you with the knowledge, resources, and emotional support you need to navigate this exciting and transformative time in your life. Whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, or birth center birth, we are here to help you every step of the way. So take a deep breath, mama, and know that you are not alone. We've got your back.

from Founder, Lauren Shields

Welcome to Meraki, I’m so glad you’re here. Meraki was born from my own personal need for community space in which I could pratice without separating my role as birthing person, parent, and mother from the rest of my life. As a young mother, mindfulness gave me so much power and focus. It was my practice that brought me back to center after a long day or week with my kids and work.

I believe deeply that it is all of our jobs to return to the village. To create networks where women and birthing people support one another, see one another, and heal in that journey together. Every one of us have a story to tell, and deserve to be heard, seen, witnessed, protected and respected. As each of us experience this loving kindness, we then can also share it with those around us. I see all the beautiful work you do, and I pray that you know how incredibly spectacular you are.

Love + Light,

Lauren Shields
