Congratulations on making it through the first 6 months of motherhood! As you face new challenges, we're here to help. Connect with other moms, share experiences, and receive guidance from our experienced facilitator. Don't miss out on this opportunity to build your village and find your tribe.
As with all of our programs, we will provide opportunities to stay connected with the group outside the class times and, hopefully, for many years after.
My name is Elena Phelps, and I am the proud founder of The Village. As a mother of two wonderful boys, Jonny & Charlie, I understand the challenges of navigating motherhood without a support system. When my first child was born, I found myself feeling uncertain and anxious without any close family or friends with children nearby. However, I was fortunate enough to discover a mommy & me group in Hermosa Beach, CA, that became my lifeline to sanity. Even after moving away, I remain incredibly close to those mothers. When I moved to North County San Diego and became pregnant with our second, to my surprise, I realized similar groups do not exist here. Therefore, I decided to create The Village. I've collaborated with many professionals, including doulas, pelvic floor specialists, and sleep consultants, to create a program that supports and inspires mothers through all the ups and downs of motherhood. Utilizing my background in psychology, child development certification, and extensive preschool teaching experience, I applied these skills to craft a unique program, enhancing support for mothers in different stages of motherhood. I am passionate about connecting a vibrant community of San Diego moms and building a support system we all can rely on.
