Still thinking about our first Joy Circle 🥹

We did yoga and vision boarding at Ma Daisy’s Porch and it was such a vibe!! At the beginning, we had a panel that talked about how the womb space and joy help us to manifest the best version of ourselves and the lives we want to create ✨ And then we got to creating ✨

The Joyous Womb, hosts these wellness gatherings to honor Joy as the medicine it is and to build community.

Comment what you think the theme or activity of our next Joy Circle will be. If you get it right, you get free tickets 👀

Our Mother’s Appreciation Community Walk in collaboration with Lowcountry Mindful Motion was lovely! 💐 2 miles of nature, smiles, laughter and connection. We even passed by mother birds nesting at Cypress Wetlands 🪺. The love and joy was spread beyond our waking group by Shyla who went out of her way to gift women along our trail with Positive Flower Bunches 🥰 This is what community health and support looks like in action!

Follow Lowcountry Mindful Motion to join them on another Sunday walk! They post their schedule monthly 🙌🏽👟

We’re joining Lowcountry Mindful Motion on a walk next Sunday to celebrate and hold space for ALL walks of motherhood. 💐💐

Come join us for a relaxing walk that starts at the scenic Cypress Wetlands, leads to Sands Beach and loops back around!

This walk is for every woman who has ever mothered; in birth, in loss, in love... and for the children and people who love them. This includes the mother figures, the aunties, grandmothers, mentors, and women who show up with love and help raise and guide others every day. 💕🧡 taken in Port Royal, South Carolina by @thejoyouswomb

Our Plant the Seeds Vision Board and Yoga Joy Circle was such a beautiful experience. I appreciate every one who came to support! The seeds of the women we are growing into were definitely planted 🌱🌸 and JOY was absolutely in the air!

Special thank you to @madaisysporch for hosting us in their beautiful space! Much gratitude for our vibrant panelist @iyanifaife @iamdonelliaxtraordinary @whiteifetayo and of course to @_loveekaya and my mom for holding it down like you always do!

My heart is so so so full. Joy Circles are a vision come true as apart of our mission to help women move from surviving to thriving through somatic healing work and spaces like this one, where Joy is treated as the medicine it is. I cannot wait to continue to create spaces like these for US 🧡💕 See yall at the next one!

Today we celebrated Women’s History Month and the release of the first book to tell the story of the legendary nurse-midwife, Maude Callen written by Lindsay Street at the historic Penn Center. This celebration was hosted in the same building she taught in. We showed up as apart of the Lowcountry Birth Collective and are honored to work alongside such powerful, gifted, heart-led women in carrying forward her legacy. We were blessed to meet and speak with Alma Mae (2nd slide) who is over 90 years old and birthed over 50 babies in her practice as a midwife. 🙏🏽 We are inspired to continue doing our part in making safe birth accessible and bringing us back to our roots of whole family, full spectrum perinatal care. Special thanks to Dr. Robert Adams, the Executive Director of Penn Center, for supporting this mission. 🙏🏽💕🧡 taken in Historic Penn Center by @thejoyouswomb

Our hearts are filled with gratitude! The Joyous Womb was selected as a recipient of the 2025 Black Girls Dream Fund by @southernblackgirls! 🩷🧡 Their investment provides us with the necessary funding to expand our mission of joy-centered healing and culturally affirming care for Black and marginalized girls and women.

This grant allows us to continue to provide mothers with essential prenatal and postpartum care, bring somatic therapy practices to abuse survivors, and curate joy-based healing circles.

We’ve been doing the work for the past 5 years, growing intentionally and now we have the resources to expand and create sustainable programs!

Stay connected through our social media and newsletter for upcoming community offerings. Great things are coming!

Thank you again to the team at Southern Black Girls Consortium for believing in our work. May every womb be a source of joy and fulfillment! 🤲🏽💕

Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies; Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies 💜💙 Symposium addressing maternal mental health as it relates to high mortality rates in black and brown communities. This program was hosted at the historic Penn Center which was home to the Granny Midwifery School. On this day, we honored their legacy as we continue their work in keeping birth a sacred and supported ritual. 🤲🏽
