Our Mission

Empower new mothers and transform the lives of families in our community

The Motherhood Collective is a non-profit 501c3 organization providing education and support for soon to be and new parents in our community.   Our goal at is to provide a space for expecting and new moms to have access to evidence-based education programs, peer-to-peer support groups, and relationship fostering social gatherings.  We believe healthy women make healthy communities

We offer a warm and inviting, safe space in town run by Registered Nurses & International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC).  Some of our services include private lactation consults, group classes, and fun events for pregnant and new mothers. We have a scale for baby weight checks and products for sale to help from conception through postpartum.

We also host groups of mothers every week to encourage peer-to-peer support and a community where mothers thrive together, collectively, rather than in isolation. We believe it takes a village, and not all mothers have one. Research has shown a myriad of benefits in all areas of postpartum when a mother feels supported in parenting. We offer that support for free, every week. All of our clinical classes and groups are nurse-facilitated.

We are striving to fulfill an unmet need in our community, yielding supportive services benefiting women, and empowering one another.  The Motherhood Collective Tehachapi strongly feels lactation education, prenatal and postpartum education, postpartum mental health awareness, and peer groups – all play a vital role in transforming the lives of women and their children.
