Become a Radical Mother.

Build your village and deepen your motherhood intentionally.

Our Gatherings in Peterborough & Cobourg are your Postpartum Community for Healing, Growth, Nourishment, and Connection.

Are you searching for a mom group where you truly belong?

Imagine being part of a community where you get to talk about what it feels like to become a mother, how YOU are doing, what challenges YOU are facing, not just the baby stuff, but real connection with other moms who understand what’s it’s really like to go through motherhood - the joys, and what being in thick of it really feels like. What would it feel like to gather with women who can help you navigate it and help you rediscover the wisdom and intuition you already have as a mother?

Community, conversation, connection.

The Radical Mother Gathering is a sanctuary for radical women who are looking for that village that modern life has removed from our experience. Here, you’ll find a circle of connection, shared wisdom, and unwavering support - because no mother should feel alone in the sacred and weird and wonderful time that is nourishing and raising little ones.

Watch as your loneliness fades and you build real community connections with like-minded women going through the same thing!

Learn about yourself as a mother and build confidence to be a parent on your own terms!

How it works…

This isn’t your typical mom’s group- there’s no script, no pressure, just real connection. Each week we start with conversation, checking in on the highs and lows of motherhood. From there, we follow the flow of energy and dive into a topic that matters to the group, guided by our intuition and deepened with reflection exercises. Some weeks we’ll create something together; other weeks, we’ll move our bodies with a walk. Every gathering is unique - just like the women who show up!

I know it sounds really strange not to know what the schedule for the sessions will be - but that’s what makes us different. You are building trust with other women, your motherhood, and your intuition. Each week, you can come as you are, knowing you’ll be held by the other women in our community who support you and want to create a genuine relationship with you regardless of the topic. There’s a kind of magic in that - trusting that whatever unfolds is exactly what you needed that day.

The Flow of Our Gatherings

While each session is intuitively guided, there is a natural rhythm to our time together. This isn’t just a drop-in group—it’s an evolving community, and every gathering builds on the last. Here’s what you can expect:

Session 1: Welcome & Connection – Our first gathering is all about getting to know each other. We’ll set the tone, share what brought us here, and start building the trust that makes this group so powerful.

Weekly Deep Dives – Each week, we explore a new topic based on what the group needs. Through guided discussions, exercises, and sometimes hands-on activities like make-and-takes or nature walks, we dive into the real experiences of motherhood—no sugarcoating, just honest connection.

Final Session: Celebration – We close the season with a celebration, where we can eat, connect, and honour the time we’ve spent together. At the Farm, we also incorporate energy healing for those who sign up, adding a deeply restorative element to our final gathering.

Because this community is so strong, our time together often extends beyond the gathering itself. Many moms choose to stay for lunch afterward, sharing a meal before heading home. Others plan activities throughout the week—whether it’s a playdate, a walk in nature, or simply checking in with each other. This isn’t just a weekly meetup; it’s a growing, evolving support system that lasts far beyond our sessions.

Meet Your Radical Guide

Hi! I’m Nessa, a Birth Keeper, Medicine Woman, Mama and the founder of Radical Mother Wellness. My work is rooted in helping women reclaim their intuition, trust their bodes, stand in their power and find deep meaning and community in motherhood. In these gatherings, I hold space (and snuggle babies) for what needs to unfold. With intuitive facilitation, deep questions, and embodied practices, each week I strive to create an experience that offers exactly what we need - whether it’s conversation, creation, or movement!

What our Radical Moms are Saying…

  • Everyone needs a community postpartum! You’ll instantly feel at ease and comforted by Nessa, a seasoned mama.

    —Erin, Radical Mama

  • New to motherhood, I was seeking an aligned group of mothers I could do some self-reflecting with my own values, be challenged to reframe my perceptions, and learn along the way. The Gathering helped me connect to a powerful and resourceful group of women, I am now proud to call my friends; women who teach me something new every time we connect!

    —Becky, Radical Mama

  • I feel safe and validated being vulnerable in sharing my own story. In a short space of 6 weeks, we have shared stories, tears, and laughter! These women are my village!

    Radical Mama

  • The Radical Mother Gatherings have brought me a sense of community. I've met some amazing mothers that have helped me and held space for me. Some that will be friends for life! I've learned so much about wellness too!

    -Ally, Radical Mama

  • As a fist time mom, after having attended all of the Early-on programs, I found myself looking for something different. I wanted to find other moms who were aligned with embracing and embodying the essence of nurturing and instinctual parenting and of questioning conventional practices. I went on search and found the Radical Mother Gathering! With no topic off the table, this group has been so welcoming and these women provide a return to the fundamentals of motherhood; building community, deep connections, following your intuition, and unconditional love!

    Melody, Radical Mama

  • Being a part of the Radical Mother Gatherings offers of feeling of belonging. The very first session I attended, I knew this is what I was missing from all of the other mommy + baby classes I had previously attended. The facilitation by Nessa is the perfect balance. She gently guides us by introducing a topic of discussion, but also allows us to chat organically, sharing and holding space to listen to one another.

    Lo, Radical Mama

The Mom Community You’ve Been Searching For

This is the kind of gathering you look forward to every single week. The drive itself - even before you arrive - feels like a reset. Whether you’re heading into our Peterborough or Cobourg gathering, there’s something grounding about carving this time out for yourself.

And when you get here? We talk about the real shit. No pretending that motherhood is all sunshine and rainbows. We’re honest about the highs and the lows, and because of that, you get to be honest, too. You’ll leave knowing you’re not alone, feeling more confident in your motherhood - because after sitting in this space, you’ll see it for what it truly is real, raw, and ever-changing.

This is a community where you’re supported every step of the way. Some days you’ll share. Some days you’ll listen. Either way, you‘’lol build the skill of holding space - for yourself and for others. You’ll strengthen your ability to sit with big emotions, to trust yourself, and to navigate motherhood with resilience.

And because this is a gathering of like-minded women, you’ll connect with others who value holistic living - mothers who are drawn to natural wellness, nature, and making intentional informed choices for their families. There’’s no one right way to do this. Whether you’re leaning fully into natural health, or you’re still figuring out what aligns for you, this is a space where you’re welcome to explore, question, and grow!

What you’ll receive from the Gathering:

  • Something to look forward to every week – A reset for your mind and body, with the drive itself feeling like part of the ritual.

  • Honest, real conversations – No sugarcoating motherhood—just a space to share the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

  • A supportive community – Some days you share, some days you hold space, but you always leave feeling seen and supported.

  • Emotional resilience & confidence – Strengthen your ability to navigate big emotions, trust yourself, and embrace the realities of motherhood.

  • A like-minded space for holistic living – Connect with mothers who value natural wellness, time in nature, and making informed, intentional choices.
