Local Support Groups for Moms in Denver (That Every New or Expecting Mom Should Know About)
Becoming a mom changes everything, and sometimes, what you really need isn’t another baby product. You need a community that gets it. Whether you’re newly postpartum, pregnant, navigating toddler chaos, or just trying to feel like yourself again, Denver has a powerful network of local support groups for moms.
These aren’t just social meetups, they’re lifelines. Led by fellow moms, doulas, therapists, and lactation experts, these groups create space for real talk, real support, and real connection.
Here are some of the most trusted Denver-based mom support groups I recommend.
The Mama ‘Hood – LoDo / Highland
This is the go-to for Denver moms needing education, community, or just someone to say, “You’re not alone.” The Mama ‘Hood offers everything from breastfeeding support to postpartum groups, birth prep, mom meetups, and yoga classes. The vibe is warm, grounded, and zero judgment.
📍 Best for: Postpartum support, nursing help, early motherhood community
💡 Check out: "Motherhood Journey Circle" and “Fourth Trimester Support” sessions
Nurture – Denver’s Wellness Marketplace for Moms (Speer)
Nurture is a wellness space built for families, with a heavy focus on moms. Their in-house providers offer therapy, massage, and community gatherings, plus a café and childcare-friendly environment. Their “Gather” events and postpartum support programs are thoughtful and inclusive.

MotherWise Colorado – City Park Area
MotherWise is a nonprofit that offers free relationship education and parenting support to pregnant and new moms. It’s evidence-based, bilingual, and deeply community-oriented.

They also offer help with referrals, support coordination, and a warmline for moms who don’t know where to start but know they need help. It’s one of the most evidence-based, mom-centered resources available in Colorado.

Why I Share These as a Family Photographer
When I photograph moms, especially in those first few months, what stands out isn’t just how they look in the light. It’s the emotional layer they carry. Motherhood can be beautiful and incredibly isolating.
These support groups remind you that you’re seen, supported, and surrounded, even on the hard days.
