The Bee Well Birth Collective is a community created to support parents at every stage of the journey from those preparing for pregnancy or awaiting their first baby, to fresh and seasoned parents navigating the ever-changing seasons of family life. We believe that when parents are informed, supported, and connected, they feel more confident in their decisions and more grounded in their experience.
Parenthood is not meant to be done alone. Yet so many parents find themselves searching for trustworthy guidance, reassurance, and community especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years. The Bee Well Birth Collective exists to bridge that gap by offering education, connection, and supportive spaces where parents can ask questions, learn, and feel truly seen and supported.
We’re beginning our collective with a free weekly breastfeeding support group, designed for parents who want to feel prepared before baby arrives and supported long after. Whether you are expecting, newly postpartum, or continuing your breastfeeding journey months or years in, this group offers education, encouragement, and real-life support in a relaxed, welcoming environment. There is no pressure, no judgment, just thoughtful guidance and shared experience.
As the Bee Well Birth Collective continues to grow, so will our offerings. In time, you can expect additional groups, classes, workshops, and resources supporting pregnancy, birth preparation, postpartum healing, infant care, and early parenthood. Each offering will be rooted in evidence-informed education, whole-family wellbeing, and the belief that empowered parents create thriving families.
Above all, the Bee Well Birth Collective is about connection, connecting parents to knowledge, to resources, and to one another. Wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here.
We’re so glad you found us, and we look forward to growing alongside your family.

Hi, I’m Maria, the chiropractor at Bee Well Chiropractic. I specialize in caring for pregnant moms, babies, and kiddos, with a special focus on supporting the breastfeeding journey. I’ve spent countless hours working alongside mothers to help them feel confident and supported as they navigate helping their babies find ease with feeding, digestion and sleep.
Along with my chiropractic training and advanced education in infant and prenatal care, I am a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and am currently working toward becoming an IBCLC. I love integrating gentle, nervous system–focused chiropractic care with evidence-informed lactation support to help both mom and baby thrive.
Hello! I’m Catherine, a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, full-spectrum doula, and yoga teacher dedicated to supporting families through the unique transitions parenthood brings. After years of traveling the world, I’ve found my home here in Nevada City.
I am currently pursuing my IBCLC certification to offer advanced lactation care to my community. When I’m not working towards my license, you can find me submerged in the Yuba River, tending to my garden, or exploring the outdoors with my three-year-old daughter Magnolia, my partner Matthew, and our dog Bebe. I look forward to walking alongside you through all the phases of your feeding journey.
