Hej Babes community

Hej.babes was created with the idea of building a community around motherhood.

How it all started

I (Alex) started thinking about Hej.babes when I was pregnant with my second child. I had just moved countries and was trying to find my community (&community of mums) all over again. On a whim (and great Instagram advertising on their end😅) I attended a prenatal retreat which ended up being so much more than I expected. I not only found relaxation, great knowledge and the best food ever - I also found a new community of mums.

One thing was missing though - the option to meet my new found community face to face. Luckily I remembered, I had started a local Facebook group - the 2024 Stockholm Baby Group a few months back. And I had even met a few of those mums - the what we called ourselves “Greasy Brunch Mums.” I reached out to the group and we started meeting again - we went for coffees, for lunches and even for dreamy day SPAs. Fast forwarding a few months once our babies were all born we were meeting on a regular (often weekly) basis and the group kept and keeps growing. Right now that group of mums has largely turned into friends that I turn to not only for advice around babies💛 .

How it turned into Hej.babes

With Hej.babes I want to enable more mums to create their own community. To create that spirit of community early on in our retreats we

• start a whatsapp group as soon as the first few participants have been confirmed

• create local meetups in locations where members overlap geographically

• enable exchanges in several workshops and circles during the retreat

• stay in touch post retreat in regular calls and checkins

• set up post retreat meetups (physical/online/mix)

Sign up for our upcoming retreat in Sicily, 31.05 - 04.06.2025.

We will soon also offer additional retreats in different formats and additional locations.
