MAYA is a postnatal peer support organisation for all mums of new babies in Oxford.
It provides one-to-one peer visits to new mums from trained volunteer local mums who are further along in their parenting journey. It offers new mums a regular, informal, empathic, judgement-free space to offload, rant, reflect and feel listened to during those early weeks and months with a newborn with someone who 'gets it'! These meet ups take place at local coffee shops or on walks from your doorstep.
MAYA also brings together wider groups of local mums who have babies at a similar time to offer more around the clock companionship during those initial long nights. When you're ready, MAYA invites you to choose from an array of local wellbeing and family sessions in your community. These offer an opportunity for you and your baby to spend quality time together and with newfound friends alike.
There are also optional social get-togethers and guest speaker events across the year if that's for you.
Your community grows just as you do in your parenting journey.
MAYA is currently running a free pilot of its peer support to mums expecting babies between November 2023 and February 2024.
Please get in touch with Jess for a chat if you're a mum-to-be or if your baby has already arrived to hear more about what's on offer.
