A Mother's Feedback

The Circle has been a real source of support and nourishment for me as I emerged from a tricky birth into my fourth trimester. It’s been wonderful and very grounding to begin each new week surrounded by community, expertise and encouragement - not to mention cups of tea made by someone else, and drunk while hot! The Circle has become a touchstone of my week and has supported my journey not just with breastfeeding but also with finding my feet as a new mum in general. Thank you so much Thomasina, Simi and Alison!
