A 6-Week Journey of Connection, Growth & Neuroscience in a safe and cozy cocoon of support. This is a perfect addition to a standard childbirth education class. Our group focuses on the inner work that opens your heart and mind to your new life as a parent.

If you are longing for deeper support, more regulation, and more confidence in your mothering — we invite you to this neuroscience-based and heart-led program to help you feel more whole, more connected, and more you — while also growing your baby’s brain for lifelong wellbeing.

Learn what truly matters, trust yourself, and prepare for motherhood with a gentle expert by your side. Sharon’s in‑person guidance cuts through the noise so you can take a breath, settle your nervous system, and feel confident in what’s normal, what to expect, and how to listen to your own inner knowing.

This work is deeply informed by the research and teachings of Greer Kirschenbaum, PhD, author of The Nurture Revolution, and her advocacy for nurtured neuroscience—a relationship‑centered approach that supports pregnant mothers and babies alike. The intention is preventative: fostering mental and emotional wellbeing for mothers, babies, and families by building a positive foundation beginning in pregnancy.

When mothers are informed and intentional, they are empowered to take greater responsibility for shaping the environment their babies grow within—emotionally, neurologically, and relationally. Through simple, repeatable practices, this circle helps cultivate positive habits of belief, calm, and self‑trust that carry through postpartum and into the remainder of life.

Nurture neuroscience highlights how early relational safety and caregiver regulation shape lifelong mental health. Beginning in pregnancy, intentional nurturing helps create a protective foundation for mothers, babies, and families. This circle blends calm, science‑based education with heartfelt support.

Pregnancy is not just about your body changing—it’s about your brain and your baby’s brain growing together in profound ways.

What You’ll Experience

✨ Discover the Maternal Brain: Learn how pregnancy reshapes your brain—expanding empathy, intuition, and resilience—while laying the foundation for lifelong bonding.

✨ Understand Your Baby’s Brain: Explore how your baby’s developing brain is shaped by safety, love, and connection, even before birth.

✨ Grounding & Relaxation Practices: Experience calming techniques, guided relaxation, and gentle mindfulness to help you access inner peace and reduce stress.

✨ Bonding & Belonging: Share this season with a circle of mothers who understand the joys and challenges of pregnancy, creating friendships that last beyond birth.

✨ Self-Inquiry Through Neuroscience: Use evidence-based practices and reflective exercises to align with your innate wisdom and strengthen your confidence as a mother.

These sessions are a deeply affirming, neuroscience-rooted celebration of what it means to nurture yourself and your baby—together. Explore the awe-inspiring growth of your baby’s brain—and your own. Discover why this season of motherhood holds so much potential for healing, rewiring, and lifelong connection. Come as you are. Leave with peace, confidence, and community.

A pregnancy circle creates a safe cocoon where you can:

• Practice bonding rituals to feel grounded and supported in your journey
• Build resilience and emotional balance
• Foster deeper connection with your baby
• Learn practical tools backed by neuroscience you can use in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
• Feel witnessed by other mothers-which is medicine in itself
• Strengthen your confidence: “I can do this. My body can do this. My baby and I are already connected.”

Facilitated by Sharon Curtin‑Bottomley, RN, IBCLC, Lamaze Childbirth Educator, Prenatal & Perinatal Psychology Educator, and Nurture Neuroscience Practitioner—bringing together neuroscience, physiology, and relationship‑centered care to support both mother and baby.
