A space created with women in mind.
CherisHer was created from a simple belief:
A woman should never feel like a bystander in her own maternity journey.
Pregnancy, birth and motherhood can be beautiful, powerful, emotional and overwhelming. They can bring moments of joy and anticipation, but also uncertainty, fear, questions and experiences that are difficult to put into words.
And for Black women, there can be another layer to the journey.
Questions about whether we will be heard.
Whether our concerns will be taken seriously.
Whether our experiences will be understood.
Whether our culture, identity and voices have a place within maternity care.
CherisHer was created to make space for all of that.
About CherisHer
Why CherisHer exists
There is a lot of information available about pregnancy and motherhood.
But information alone isn't always enough.
Sometimes you need someone to help you understand what is happening.
Sometimes you need a space where your feelings make sense.
Sometimes you need reassurance before an appointment, confidence before a conversation, or simply somewhere to breathe and reconnect with yourself.
CherisHer brings these things together through knowledge, emotional connection, sound, culture and community.
It is not here to tell women how their pregnancy or birth should look.
It is here to help women feel more informed, more connected and more able to find their own voice within their journey.
This is CherisHer
A space for knowledge.
A space for feeling.
A space for listening.
A space for Black motherhood.
A space for stories, culture, conversations and connection.
A space where the woman is not lost within the journey.
Because motherhood may become part of her story, but it does not become the whole of who she is.
And throughout her journey, she still deserves to be cherished.
Welcome to CherisHer.
Know. Feel. Listen.
More than maternity information
CherisHer isn't designed to be another place where you simply read information and move on.
It is an experience.
KNOW
Help her understand.
A space for practical information, maternity processes, conversations and deeper perspectives that can help her make sense of her journey and the systems around it.
FEEL
Give space to her experience.
A space for emotion, reflection, creativity, encouragement and the many feelings that can exist alongside pregnancy and motherhood.
LISTEN
Make space for her voice, connection and culture.
A space where women's words, perspectives, experiences and culture can be heard, shared and connected.
And alongside these spaces are CherisHer Resources — practical things she can use throughout her journey.
Know. Feel. Listen.
Three spaces.
One journey.
A place to feel held
There is a woman behind every appointment.
Behind every scan.
Behind every birth plan.
Behind every decision.
And sometimes, in the focus on the baby, the woman herself can become invisible.
CherisHer wants to bring her back into the picture.
Not as an afterthought.
Not simply as a patient.
Not only as a mother.
But as a whole woman.
With a body.
A mind.
A voice.
A culture.
A story.
And a journey that deserves to be recognised.
What CherisHer hopes to create
CherisHer is growing into a space where women can come to:
Understand what may lie ahead.
Explore their choices.
Recognise their emotions.
Reconnect with themselves.
Hear different experiences and perspectives.
Find their voice.
Connect with culture and community.
Rest when they need to.
And feel a little less alone along the way.
This is not about creating a perfect pregnancy.
It is not about promising a perfect birth.
And it is not about telling women what they should do.
It is about creating a space where women can approach their journey with greater understanding, connection and confidence — while still being themselves within it.
Her journey.
Her culture.
Her voice.
This is CherisHer.
