About offerings
About Molly’s circle: Deep dives into all things motherhood. If you have any familiarity with the 12-step program (e.g. AA or AlAnon), these support circles feel a bit like going to a meeting. You walk in and everyone gets you. It’s a relief that you don’t have to explain yourself.
About Azita’s class: A sweet reminder that this is an all-level kundalini infused yoga & meditation class. In other words, you don’t have to be a human pretzel or seasoned yogi. This practice is more of a spiritual vitamin. So, come as you are and be open to the magic we create when we gather.
About Starlite’s offering: Come gather in a like-minded, confidential space to explore the power of group healing. With open hearts, we access our own inner guidance. With open minds, we work together to remove obstacles and deepen our capacity to heal through the guidance of Reiki energy healing.
Unfamiliar with some of these terms? See below
Kundalini Yoga: A form of yoga that involves chanting, singing, breathing exercises, and repetitive poses. Its purpose is to activate your Kundalini energy—a spiritual energy that’s said to be located at the base of your spine. It differs from Hatha yoga, which is what is more commonly practiced in America (e.g. sun salutations, holding poses.)
Reiki healing: Reiki practitioners act as a middle ground between you and energy forces. Energy travels from their hands to you or above you. Studies show that reiki therapy may be useful for reducing stress and anxiety, easing pain, and even improving your quality of life.
Cacao ceremony: It’s a spiritual ritual that involves consuming ceremonial-grade cacao in a group setting to facilitate connection, healing, and self-exploration. It originates from ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions and has gained popularity in modern times for its ability to promote mindfulness and personal growth.
About facilitators
Molly Nourmand, LMFT
In 2017, following the birth of my daughter and my own journey with birth trauma and postpartum depression, I utilized my experience as both a seasoned Psychotherapist and survivor of a perinatal mood disorder to create Life After Birth® Through my company, I successfully began process-oriented support circles that help birthing people transition into parenthood. In addition, I serve the same population with 1:1 therapy sessions, postpartum planning and mothers retreats. After several years of helping women through the metamorphosis of motherhood I was called to expand my offerings and grow the Life After Birth® community even larger.
Azita Nahai, PhD
I specialize in integrating practical spirituality with therapeutic work to promote transformational healing. Our work together invites us both to dive into a powerful process for personal development, healing and transformation. Through an integration of human development, neuropsychology, spirituality and the science of yoga and meditation, I offer you practical tools and healing techniques to help you navigate through life’s crises, to become a conscious and active participant in your own healing, and to living a life of deeper purpose, mission and meaning. My intention is to efficiently get to the root-cause of any pattern that is holding you back from stepping up and into your life. My mission is to guide you back to your own wisdom and help you transform your pain into power and purpose.
