MAMISTAD
New Moms
Since 2005
None of us plan to feel isolated. It happens before we realize it.
If you're pregnant, let's avoid it. If your baby's here, let's overcome it.
How it Works
Mamistad forms first-time pregnant and new moms' groups for moms who are due or delivered their first baby within 3-4 months of one another.
In-person groups for moms in the general NOVA/DC area, Austin, TX and Denver, CO.
Not in these areas? Sign up and we'll contact you if when your area takes off! Virtual options may also be available.
Our Mission: To recognize and celebrate the pivotal journey into new motherhood by honoring its many transformative layers
Our Method: Connecting mothers through thoughtfully formed support groups, sharing essential information and resources through our website and Mom Chat with Mamistad Podcast, and building thriving family communities.
In-person groups are currently being formed in the NOVA/DC, Denver CO and Austin, TX areas. If you're not in these areas, submit your form anyway and we'll get back to you if we hear from more moms in your area!
*There is a one-time fee of $69-89 (based on location) to be placed in up to two groups (if there are two available). Fee may be paid in two payments if necessary.

This one is ESSENTIAL...
Why It Works
MATRESENCE. . ."the process of becoming a mother... It's a holistic change in multiple domains of your life. You're going to feel it perhaps bodily, psychologically...with your peer groups...at your job... in terms of the big philosophical questions....
...When we don't talk about it, the myth of motherhood as this idyllic oasis is perpetuated in our culture...Talking about what's happening with you with other moms is such a pillar of support."​

Throughout their pregnancy journey, however long it may be, mothers deserve the highest standard of care - emotionally, mentally and physically.
The Truth . . first-time moms are often blindsided by many aspects of new motherhood - it's tough! Despite all their planning, they aren't prepared for the transition to motherhood. Having your first baby is likely one of the most impacting, life-changing and overwhelming things you'll ever do.
MOM CHAT, the Mamistad Podcast was launched on February 14, 2024 to share all the amazing lessons we've learned, stories we've lived and brilliance we've encountered (we work with lots of amazing experts) on our collective motherhood journeys as a Sisterhood of Mamas. Do you have a motherhood story to share?

Hi, I'm Lauren
Military veteran, mom of seven, and the heart behind NOVA Child Safety. With over 10 years of experience making my own home and vehicles safe for my children, I understand firsthand the importance of creating a secure environment for our little ones.
For the month of October I am running the following specials:
-
$150 safety walk through (normally $295)
-
buy 4 gates, get the 5th one installed free
-
$50 off installation projects totaling $600+
-
$125 car seat installation checks ($25 off)
The target age for childproofing is 6+ months -- right before baby gets mobile, or when baby is crawling, heading for those stairs. A lot of clients come to me at 7-9 months.
I am affiliated with the International Association for Child Safety (IAFCS).
Mamistad
A combination of two Spanish words:
