Mother Circle
Mothers supporting Mothers
This is the mission of Mother Circle
Women circling is the oldest code.
Ancient wisdom and modern research tell us that
when women gather, their mental health drastically improves.
And when mothers thrive, communities thrive.

WHO IS THE FACILITATOR?
You will be fully guided by certified MotherCircle Facilitator, Toni Shama
Trained by Kimberly Ann Johnson, Author of the book The Fourth Trimester, Toni was in the founding cohort of MotherCircle Facilitators from all over the world and is the only person offering this curriculum in upstate New York.
Toni brings her own unique experience as a guide, she has been involved in mother-centered work since 2017 when she was pregnant with her first child. Now a mother of three, she is also a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, Prenatal Yoga Instructor, and is in training to become an Informed Beginnings Childbirth Educator (Jan. 2025).
She also hosts Mother Blessing Ceremonies, intimate gatherings and group/private yoga classes in Geneva, NY.
“Mother Circle is a place that I truly felt witnessed and the act of witnessing others moved me at my core. Toni helped guide me to a language for my experience postpartum and in mothering that I hadn’t had before. I found connection in stories shared that helped me make sense of my motherhood journey, for the first time in four years, I didn’t feel like there was something wrong with me.”
