When a baby is born, So is a parent

Mobile offering: New Parent Groups

Being a new parent is an exciting, exhausting, and magical time. Only you truly know the emotional and physical toll a new baby brings, and what a unique and personal experience it is.  

Our New Parent Groups are geared towards preparing and supporting new parents in this journey.  Whether you're pregnant or have a new baby, you'll likely have questions about a variety of topics.  

Carve out a little special time each week, for you, to connect with other new parents, commiserate, and feel a little less isolated.  

Some weeks, we have an expert in the field joining us to share relevant information -- on topics ranging from pelvic wellness to breastfeeding to baby sign language to child developmentā€¦and other weeks we simply gather to chat, field questions and share resources.

We invite you to hang out and get to know other new parents, recharge in a laid back environment, and venture to a nearby park or cafe afterwards, if you'd like. 

  • Bring a beverage, get settled, and enjoy the infant toys available

  • Meet other new parents

  • Stay for Q & A and connect

We run the groups in 5 week chunks so that we can build community. These meet-ups are a suggested donation of $95 for the four-week series, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Simply pay what you can. At the moment, our offerings are limited. Please reach out if you have a group of new parents interested in connecting in a supportive environment and we can come to you.

  • BYO baby blankets, food/drink, anything to keep you hydrated & your babe happy.

  • Open to newborns, through crawling infants.  

  • Don't worry if you need to take a break to feed, change a diaper, or step away to get some fresh air.  

  • We all get it and are happy to have you in whatever form that takes (babies are unpredictable!).

Would you like to bring a new parent group to your neighborhood? Reach out! When we have 5 interested families, we can mobilize.
