Sexual Health & Wellness for Mothers

Liberating Mamas - for
a more Liberated World

A woman with curly hair and tattoos on her arms is laughing and lying on a bed with beige pillows, floral bedding, and a knitted blanket. The background features a brick wall and a nightstand with a vase of white flowers and books.

Mama, our pleasure is our power.

‘We’re giving two giant middle fingers to the patriarchal, capitalist norms that keep mothers exhausted, silent, isolated, and ‘in-line’. As creators and nurturers of Life itself, our world needs us fully turned on.

Through education, community and advocacy, ‘Mama Comes First’ is revolutionizing sexual health & pleasure for mothers of all stages, cultures and orientations. Because every time a mother breaks frees from oppressive norms, we’re a step closer to a more liberated world.

Offerings

Led by Dawn Moore (Midwife, Women’s Health & Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Sex Coach, and Mom of 4), our offerings tend to the physical, emotional and social aspects of sexual wellness, in all stages of motherhood.

8-week group program

Postpartum Liberated Libido

Sexual health and wellness is woefully overlooked in conventional postpartum care. This program breaks the stigma and silence around sexual health and intimacy after childbirth, empowering mothers to reclaim their sensuality, and enjoy a deeper connection with their bodies and partners.

An inclusive space, rooted
in Matricentric Feminism.

Mama Comes First is committed to inclusivity and respects diverse backgrounds, family structures, gender identities and sexual orientations.

Our choice to use the terms "mother/mama/mom" alongside gender-neutral language is rooted in a Matricentric feminist perspective, which challenges the patriarchal history of marginalizing mothers’ voices, undervaluing our labor, and restricting our sexual autonomy.

This approach allows us to reclaim and redefine patriarchal notions of ‘motherhood’, while also embracing the fluidity of modern identities.

Our Justice-Led Values

Empowerment & Body Autonomy

We aim to dismantle patriarchal myths about motherhood and sexuality, advocating for body autonomy and empowered choices around our bodies, sexuality and reproductive health.

Purple number 1 with a black arrow pointing right.

Inclusivity & Intersectionality

We challenge the patrarchal one-size-fits-all narratives, recognizing how race, sexuality, gender identity, and socio-economic status shape our diverse experience of motherhood.

Community & Collective Care

Through solidarity and community, we counter the isolation and individualization perpetuated by patriarchal structures, pooling our collective power to create more justice & freedom for all.

Transparency
& Integrity

We commit to transparency and integrity, challenging the opaqueness and profit-driven motives often seen in industries impacting women's health and sexuality.

Sustainability & Responsibility

We pledge to sustainability and ethical responsibility, opposing the exploitative practices and unsustainable consumption patterns upheld by capitalism.

Innovation for Equality

We challenge the objectification and marginalization of women, and commit to innovation that not only meets mothers’ needs, but advances our expression in the world.
