“Birth happens in the body, not in the mind.

Therefore, mindfulness and MOVEMENT should be at the core of birth PREPARATION.”

— Lauren Shields, Founder + Director of Meraki Mama Collective

It’s time to return

It's time to return to our true nature as living embodiments of the divine feminine. It's time to move into the body to feel more connected and grounded into the present.

Meraki Mama Collective is a space for the women and birthing people to gather, explore and heal through movement, mindfulness and education.

Meet founder,

Lauren Shields.
