Rede
A Pregnancy Support Circle
Monday evenings, for 4-weeks
Beginning April 13th
Lacombe, AB
A softer way to prepare for birth and beyond
Pregnancy is full of information — and often, very little space to slow down and feel supported.
Rede: meaning nest
was created to offer expectant parents a warm, grounded place to land during the second and third trimesters. This is NOT a traditional prenatal class. Instead, Rede is a small, intentional group experience that blends holistic education, nervous system support, and meaningful conversation — for both moms and their partners.
Lead by professionals
Each session you'll have the opportunity to learn from and connect with person-centred, pregnancy informed care providers.

Rede is designed for:
-
Expectant moms in their 2nd or 3rd trimeter
-
Partners or support people who want to feel informed, involved, and confident
-
Those craving community, not overwhelm
-
Families who value a holistic, collaborative approach to care
No prior experience or specific birth plan is required — just a willingness to show up as you are.
What we'll explore together
Each session weaves education with reflection, body awareness, and shared experience. Core themes include:
Nutrition & Weight Changes
supportive guidance of how to nourish your body through the changes
Postpartum Planning
rest, support systems, and realistic expectations for the 4th trimester
Movement & Body Awareness
tuning into what your body needs now and how to set you and your baby up for greater success
Stress Management & Emotional Wellbeing
for both parents, through all stages of pregnancy, birth and postpartum
Labour & Birth Preparation
for when things don't go as planned- we go over what flexibility, decision-making and pivoting look like
Partner & Support Roles
having the important conversations ahead of time and bringing awareness to the needs of each partner
Self-Monitoring & Empowerment
building trust in yourself and your instincts
The 4-week Journey
What to expect through the four weeks we'll have together.
Week 1 — Støtte
(Support)
Introduction, connection, and setting intentions
We begin by slowing down, meeting one another, and naming what support truly looks like in this season. Expectations, questions, and hopes are gently brought to the surface.
Week 2 — Krop & Ro
(Body & Calm)
Body awareness, movement, and emotional wellbeing
This session focuses on nervous system support, embodied care, and learning to listen to the body as pregnancy progresses.
Week 3 — Bære
(To Carry / To Bear)
Birth preparation, partner roles, feeding & infant prep, and pivoting
We explore labour and birth preparation alongside the realities of flexibility, shared load, and informed decision-making.
Week 4 — Lune
(Warmth / Shelter)
Transition, postpartum planning, and building your nest
The final session turns toward the early postpartum period — rest, community, and how to feel emotionally and practically held after birth.
