Whole Mothering Center Support for Mothers

Clean out your closet!
Donate your gently used
maternity clothes!

The Whole Mothering Center is in the
process of creating a retail store
stocked with work-at-home mom
items. We also will sell baby items
and clothing for pregnant women,
babies and children on a consignment
basis. You may donate your gently
used clothing or other items for sale,
from which proceeds will be used to
benefit the Whole Mothering Center,
or take advantage of our consignment
option to bring in a little extra money
for your family.
If you're interested in learning more,

Support for Mothers:
Encouraging, Validating & Empowering Women

At the Whole Mothering Center, we believe that any woman can meet her goals in motherhood with determination and
dedication. It also helps to have a strong network of support to help her gain confidence and feel validated in the choices
she has made for her family, especially when those choices may fall outside of the mainstream. In our experience working
with mothers in various capacities over the last few years, we have found the mothers in Southeast Texas to be wonderfully
supportive and caring women who are more than willing to offer friendship and support to other moms.

On this page, we have listed specific situations that mothers may find challenging, and offer some suggestions and
resources local to our area that you may find useful. If you know of something that we do not list on this page, please
contact us.

Mothers' Best-Kept Secret

Doula services aren't just for the new mama anymore! The Doulas of the Whole Mothering Center are available to come function as a "Mother's Helper"
during the day. From helping a mom get ready for an out of town trip, to helping put together something interesting and new for dinner, let one of our
Doulas come work with your family! Contact us for more information or to schedule a consultation today!

Support Groups

We're interested in forming support groups for:
New Mothers - Support in the Early Weeks
Support in the First Year
Support During the Preschool Years
Mothers of Elementary School Aged Children
Moms of 'Tweens
Moms of Teens
Teen Mothers
Moms of Teen Mothers

Most of these discussion groups will be held in either a mother's home, or a local coffee shop or other location. We are looking for volunteers who
have "been there, done that" to help facilitate discussions and guide our mothers to appropriate resources both in the community and online. If
you're interested in working with us to host, or attending any of the above groups, or to suggest additional topics or areas for support, please contact
us or come to our next Whole Mothering Café, held on the second Thursday of each month at The Logon Café, 3805 Calder. Groups are formed on an
"in need of" basis. The more call for a group there is, the sooner the group will be created.
