One day my entrepreneurial, business owning, mom brain of a 1 year old battling constant double ear infections will get better at advertising for upcoming classes…. Until then, here’s a last minute post about our upcoming Winter Postpartum & Play Package. With the FIRST of the 3-part series start in tomorrow!

Classes are 30$ for drop-in or 60$ for all 3 classes!

If you haven’t come to one of these classes before I can tell you with 100% certainty that you might be missing out. Ariel goes above and beyond to make these classes fun, accessible for littles of all ages, insightful, supportive, and loving. It is EXACTLY what you need as you navigate motherhood!

We had such success with these Postpartum & Play class series that we are carrying them forward into 2026 with the theme of each series being play, learn, craft. We hope you’ll join in on the fun!

If you are planning to see us tomorrow, Tuesday 12/2 - please check your email for details about appointment changes.

Our midwives are ALWAYS available to support your labor and birth, even in yucky weather (they're like the US postal service). But we do NOT want to risk the safety of our clients by asking them to drive in inclement weather for non-emergent purposes.

Stay safe 💜
