HER Circle Membership

What do I get when I join HER Circle?

The benefits of having a monthly subscription to HER Circle include:

First dibs on our live, virtual expert-led workshops and Expert Q&A’s. Join in the conversation and enjoy the chance to get your questions answered by an expert in real-time. Members also get exclusive access to our Member Resource Library, so you can watch and learn on your own time — you know, while you’re doing the dishes or wrangling the kids to brush their teeth — never missing out on a thing.

Join an incredible group of women that are welcoming, supportive, genuine, and fun! Our members are personally invited to several social events each month that includes (but are not limited to) coffee chats, moms’ night out, volunteer opportunities, family adventures, conversation circles, workouts, and learning experiences with local women’s health experts. Many of these events are offered virtually, so moms from anywhere can join in the fun! We also offer in-person socially distanced events for small groups of moms in the Triangle area, with chapters being rolled out to new cities in 2021.

The chance to volunteer and give back to the community with other amazing, like-minded moms.  Many of our moms say this opportunity to give back and become a part of something bigger than themself is one of their favorite parts of HER Circle.

Enjoy exclusive discounts and special offers provided by our fab Perk Partners. These are all hand-picked businesses that go above and beyond to serve moms. By using just a few of the Perk Partner Promotions, your subscription has already paid for itself!

Connect with other moms in our private Facebook group where you can participate in fun monthly challenges, ask questions, share parenting memes, get reminders that seem so perfectly timed it’s like someone was reading your mind, and basically just remind you that you aren’t alone on this crazy hard journey of motherhood.

I would love to buy my mom/sister/friend/colleague a HER Circle membership. Do you offer gift memberships?

Yes! Absolutely!  We think a HER Circle membership makes a phenomenal gift for all the moms in your life. You will see the option to “purchase as a gift” at checkout.

I’m not local to the Triangle. Can I still join HER Circle?

Absolutely! We would love to welcome you into HER Circle. We offer a ton of virtual events each month, including all of our expert sessions and several social events. Many of our perk partners also offer discounts and specials that can be redeemed online and used by moms that live anywhere, including our monthly workouts with Current Wellness and Empower Dance Studio!

Who is HER Circle for?

HER Circle is for ALL THE MOMS. We can’t stress this enough. We have members that are moms of a newborn and moms with grown children that have moved out of the house and have kids of their own (aka Nanas, Memaws, and grandmas)! 

We welcome moms that are breastfeeding and formula feeding. We welcome moms of every race, religion, ethnicity, orientation, and parenting style. We feel strongly that we can learn from others and believe that respecting each mom’s unique story and background is essential to weaving the beautiful tapestry that should make up this circle of strong women.  

We welcome moms that are eager to learn from trusted experts, make authentic connections with other women, and become a part of something bigger than herself.

What is the HER Circle cancellation policy?

Events

Can I attend a HER Circle event before joining?

We offer a ton of different events every week. We continuously ask our members what type of events they would like and we work hard to make them happen. We encourage you to go take a peek at our Calendar of Events and see all of the events we have coming up and some of the fun we’ve had in the past.

HER Experts

I am a mom and am interested in learning more about one of the HER experts. How do I get in touch with HER experts and professional contributors?

Head to our Expert Directory to search our database of vetted experts and professionals.

How do I nominate an expert to be a Professional Contributor or expert panelist and added to the Expert Directory? I am an expert. Can I nominate myself?

A nomination form must be filled out for consideration. 

Expert Panelists are selected once a year and will go through an interview and vetting process. Professional Contributors are added to our team throughout the year. Professional contributors can later be considered for a role as an Expert Panelist. 

Professionals are welcome to complete the nomination form for themself if they would like to be considered.

Who is on the 2020 expert panel?

Check out our phenomenal 2020 HER Expert Panel.

What is the difference between Professional Contributors and HER Expert Panelists?

Professional Contributors are local professionals that have undergone a rigorous application and vetting process in order to join our team as a professional contributor.  They provide exclusive online content for HER Circle members and their content & contact information is listed on our Expert Directory. 

HER Expert Panelists are nominated once a year, interviewed and personally invited by the HER Health Collective team to participate on a panel of 12 local women’s health experts. These panelists participate in a quarterly roundtable discussion on a variety of women’s health issues, provide expert content for our website and host in-person workshops for local moms. These panelists are leaders in their respective industries and are committed to collaborating in an effort to change the conversation around postpartum care.

Perfectly Imperfect

How do I submit a mom story for the Perfectly Imperfect Blog?

We would love for you to submit your story to be published in our Perfectly Imperfect blog. We are always looking for moms willing to share a meaningful experience, useful insight, or eventful story about motherhood. If you think your words will encourage, comfort, or bring joy to other moms, please consider submitting your story! Sharing stories is valuable and can be cathartic to both the reader and the writer. 

There are specific content writing guidelines that must be adhered to. Please review the guidelines closely before submitting.

Do I have to be a HER Circle member to contribute to the Perfectly Imperfect Blog?

Not at all! We will gladly accept Perfectly Imperfect Blog submissions from all moms.

Getting Involved

I like to know about the organizations I support. What are HER Health Collective’s core values and overall mission?

HER Health Collective’s core values include:

Health – We believe in supporting the whole woman – body, mind, and spirit.

Empowerment – We believe women are empowered when they have access to a supportive community and trustworthy knowledge.

Respect – We believe every woman’s story is unique and her authentic self should be acknowledged and respected.

HER Health Collective’s overriding mission is to revolutionize the way moms take care of themselves. We are improving the care mothers receive by providing a supportive community and offering access to a network of trusted resources. 

We know women are being underserved in the current system.  We believe that creating an open conversation amongst experts and healthcare professionals will move the needle forward and start creating the necessary changes to provide women with the care they need and deserve.

Do you have chapters in other locations? I want to be a bigger part of this. Can I open a chapter of HER Circle in my hometown?

Currently moms from any city can join HER Circle and enjoy our virtual offerings. Moms in the Triangle region of North Carolina can enjoy our in-person social events. 

We also offer our ambassador program, for moms interested in launching a HER Circle chapter in her own city. This is a great opportunity to build your own community and make a little extra pocket money!

I am a local business and would like to be a perk partner. How do I get involved?

We rotate our perk partners each season and are always looking to partner with great local businesses that go above and beyond to serve moms.  You can email us your interest at info@herhealthcollective.com.

I am a local non-profit or charity and would love to receive support from HER Health Collective. How do I get my organization on the radar of HER Health Collective’s moms and the Charity Teams?

We are always looking for local charities and do-good organizations to partner with.  Our moms love to give volunteer hours each month through our volunteer opportunities (especially if it can involve the whole family). Our moms also enjoy organizing fundraisers for various local charities through our Charity Teams.  

Please reach out to the HER Health Collective team at info@herhealthcollective.com.

I am interested in your ambassador program. What does an ambassador do and how do I get involved?

Our ambassadors are a treasured part of our community. These women run a chapter of HER Circle in their own hometown where they facilitate a minimum of four in-person social events for local moms each month.  They also help spread the word of HER Health Collective’s mission and the amazing benefits HER Circle offers to moms. In return, ambassadors are paid a monthly commission and receive a HER Circle membership at no cost. This is a great part-time gig with minimal hours required each month!
