Gather Together With Mama Glow + Continuum Conference

By Posted on

Women are fierce. We know this, but when you are in the throes of change in your life, whether it’s dealing with fertility, pregnancy, breastfeeding, loss, and so much — connecting with other women is essential. We need to continually seek support, educate, and take in new information. This will not only make us better mothers but stronger humans. This is why we are super excited about the inaugural Continuum Conference. The brainchild of Mama Glow, a global women’s health organization based in NYC, will focus women at various phases of life. The conference will be an eclectic mix of people as well as the doula community who can gather, come together for a day of learning, connecting, and supporting one another.
