Join 200+ women

Your birth didn't go to plan? You're not alone.

Mendara creates safe, guided spaces to help process your birth. Join our free 7-day experience, book a live group session, or sign up to hear about our app when it launches.

Developed in partnership with the Birth Trauma Association and backed by Nesta - the UK's innovation agency for social good.

1 in 3 women describe their birth as traumatic. Many never get the chance to process what happened. We think that needs to change.

Mendara group sessions

Ready to take the next step? Join a guided group session with women who understand.

A guided, text-based group session

A Mendara session is a guided group conversation on WhatsApp - no cameras, no pressure to speak. Just a small group of women who get it, and a facilitator to hold the space.

Expertly facilitated

Our sessions are led by Rachael, a trained facilitator with lived experience of birth trauma. Rachael is also the Chair of the Birth Trauma Association - a charity, working to support women and families who have experienced traumatic birth.

Completely anonymous

You'll choose an alias before your first session. No real names required. When picking your session time, you will pick an alias to use. Your phone number is hidden in the group chat.

Fits around you

Sessions run daily on each weekday, at lunchtime and in the evening. Can't make the time? Tell us what works and we will get back to you within 48 hours.
