You were never meant to cross this threshold alone.
A small, guided community for women preparing to become mothers β a space to explore who you're growing into, alongside others navigating this profound transition.

Pregnancy prepares you for a baby. But what about the woman you're becoming?
There are appointments, lists, things to buy and things to learn. So much of pregnancy is about getting ready for the baby. And somewhere in the middle of it all, something else is happening.
You're changing, too.
Perhaps you're wondering what kind of mother you'll be, what you'll carry forward from your own childhood, and what you'd like to do differently. Perhaps you're curious about how your relationships might change or how to stay connected to yourself.
Flock is built on a simple belief: that the transition into parenthood deserves more than information, it deserves connection, reflection, and community.
Hi, I'm DorothΓ©e β a mother of two, a poet, and the founder of MotherNest.
My own experience of postpartum depression and anxiety led me to explore matrescence, the profound transformation of becoming a mother, and to question how we better support women through this transition.
Along the way, I've discovered the power of thoughtful practices, trusted voices, and being held in community. MotherNest brings these together through meaningful experiences that make space for the woman behind the mother.
Here's what I believe: it takes a village to raise a mother.
Over a shared period of time, we'll come together to explore the things that matter beneath the surface. Through guided inquiry, expert voices and embodied creative practices, you'll gain tools to approach this new chapter with greater intention and self-understanding.
β
We'll make space for questions like:
β
β¦ Who am I becoming as I approach motherhood?
β
β¦ What values do I hope will shape our family life?
β
β¦ How do I want to be supported when I'm vulnerable, tired or uncertain?
β
β¦ What might it look like to care for myself as I care for someone else?
β
This is not about becoming a perfect parent or finding a single right way to navigate birth and parenthood. It is about learning to listen to yourself, discovering what really matters to you, and building relationships in which you can be met with care.
β
β¦ You're used to finding your way in the world and yet preparing for motherhood feels different, and you're not quite sure how to navigate the inner changes.
β
β¦ You want to deepen your trust in your own knowing, reconnect with your intuition, and discover your own way of approaching motherhood.
β
β¦ You're drawn to a more soulful experience β one that makes room for meaningful preparation for birth and postpartum.
β
β¦ You long to meet other women with whom you can be honest, feel understood and find a sense of belonging before your babies arrive.
We're bringing the first cohort of Flock to life, and we'd love to hear from women who feel drawn to this kind of experience.
