Megan Caldwell is a mother of 3, certified Postpartum Support International Peer Facilitator, and champion of moms in matrescence (complex process of becoming a mother).

She formed this group because I saw a gap for new moms to build consistent, strong communities and have a place to feel supported in the early days of motherhood. 

Beyond facilitating Postpartum Circles and being a Mom and partner, she feeds the other parts of her identity by working part time, volunteering with the South Chatt Community Garden and the Chattanooga Free Store, hosting Common Thread (a monthly gathering of women), and spending as much time as possible outside and/or in a body of water.
