OFFERINGS

Perinatal healing, community, & resources…

Because caregivers deserve to be cared for.

We are currently raising funds to get Kindred Care Collective off the ground. Learn more about that here.

Co-founded by three mamas in East Oakland, we are creating offerings and healing space that will center mamas and primary caregivers.

Below is our bold vision (and — truly — just the beginning).

Healing

    • 1-on-1 therapy

    • Group therapy & circles

    • Anger management & navigating “mom rage”

    • Nature & play therapy

    • Body casts

    • Painting

    • Sound baths

    • Restorative yoga

    • Poetry

Support

Gathering support & collective wisdom.

  • Ongoing network for parents with children of all ages, who are seeking a community that seeks to center radical love and decolonized, reparative, healing, anti-racist, and queer frameworks in their parenting.

  • Members will have access to:

    • Food, formula, diapers, postpartum supplies, books, pregnancy & nursing clothing, and other baby essentials.

    • Postpartum care packages and meals

  • We are raising money for a fund to support low-income queer families and solo parents as they plan and build the family they long for. Depending on need, this fund’s use may be expanded.
