🌟 You're Invited: Join Me for the First Nurturing Motherhood Gathering – Building Your Village! 🏘️

Hi moms! I’m Jen Tietjen, a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and
the Founder of Your Village, and I’d love for you to join me for the very first gathering of Nurturing Motherhood at Your Village! Motherhood is an incredible journey, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. That’s why I created Your Village and now this group—to bring moms together in a space where we can connect, share, and support each other through every stage.

For our first meeting, we’ll be talking about “Building Your Village”—why community is so important, how to find the support you need, and how we can shape this group into something truly meaningful for all of us.

Kids of all ages are welcome to stay with their moms during the group and can stay and play in the Play Village afterwards for a discounted rate of $10.
📅 Date: Tuesday, March 4th
⏰ Time: 9:30 AM
📍 Your Village- 78-82 Clarkson Wilson Center, Chesterfield MO 63017
❗ Our location has two doors- Please come to the Education and Play/ Play Village door!

Do you have little one who loves to play doctor? 💙
We have everything they need to become a physician, nurse or patient!

Did you know playing "doctor" can actually help children work through any anxiety or fears they may have about going to their wellness visit?

It helps children learn what to expect during a visit, take on the role of both doctor and patient and process their emotions through the ✨power of play! ✨

I’m excited to introduce you to a new therapeutic option that may offer a refreshing change of pace: Walk and Talk Therapy.

In Walk and Talk Therapy, we take our sessions outside and incorporate physical activity into our conversations. This approach combines the benefits of traditional talk therapy with the advantages of walking, which can enhance the therapeutic process in several ways:

Enhanced Creativity and Clarity: The movement can stimulate your brain, often leading to new insights and ideas that might not emerge in a traditional setting.

Reduced Anxiety and Stress: Being outdoors and engaging in physical activity can lower stress levels and create a more relaxed atmosphere for open conversation.

Improved Well-Being: Walking has proven benefits for physical health, and this form of therapy can help you feel more energetic and balanced.

Natural Setting: The change in environment from a clinical office to a natural setting can make discussions feel more informal and comfortable, which may facilitate more honest and open dialogue.

If you’re interested in exploring this approach, I’d be happy to discuss how it might fit into your therapeutic journey.
