It takes a village

to raise a mother.

What every mother truly desires is to be a good mom — to raise children who feel loved, seen, and secure.

We aim to do better than the previous generation, breaking patterns and creating healthy new ones.

But it’s so much harder when you’re lonely, overwhelmed, and exhausted — fighting daily battles in unfamiliar spaces.

Expat mothers face distinct challenges, balancing cultural shifts, language barriers, and self-doubt every step of the way.


These obstacles intensify the pressures of modern motherhood, leaving many feeling isolated and emotionally drained.

Traditional classes centre primarily on the child, but many expat mothers still feel like outsiders in these spaces.

At ThisVillage, we focus on raising the mother, not just the child.

We value intimate connections!

Join us to form small groups where you can authentically bond with fellow expat mothers, share experiences, and build meaningful friendships in a supportive environment.

Founded by an expat mom who understands navigating a new culture and identity, ThisVillage offers a cozy space for like-minded women to connect, support, and grow together.

  • ”Literally no one prepared me for how lost I’ve felt during that first year. I wish I had this kind of support back then.”

  • “I had a very traumatic childbirth and although my mum was with me for a while, when she left I felt like my world was crumbling. Maria, you’re doing a very necessary job!”

  • “My husband looked after our daughter for the first two years, while I returned to work just months after she was born. A group like this would have been a lifesaver to help me cope with the guilt."
