We're about a week away from having to pack up the shop and we're still overstocked with toys!

I really, really don't want to bring these extra toys with us... So starting today, all toys in our toddler & preschooler collection are now 40% off, no coupon code needed. Just add them to your cart for an automatically applied discount! You can shop these deals online, of course, and if you're local I will also be pulling these items from storage to put out at the store if you'd like to stop by to shop in person. Don't forget when shopping online, free shipping starts at $50, and if you're local you can also chose store pick up or have your order hand delivered if you live within 10mi of us!

Please Note: This discount does apply to the already marked down clearance toys however it cannot be combined with any other discount codes; It also cannot be applied to past purchases. If you have a discount code to use on other items, feel free to place two separate orders and I will combine them/refund any extra shipping fees, if applicable!

Big announcement!

Hi friends, Lisa De Sousa here, owner of Compass. There’s no way to do this without making it a long post, so I’ll cut straight to the chase and for those who wish to continue reading, I will further explain.

Compass Wellness Center will be closing its doors on June 30th of this year. The first big question: what does this mean for the businesses that call Compass home? Well some do not even know the answer to that yet. They are looking at new office spaces and figuring out where this decision will lead them in their next chapter. For myself, I am solidifying plans for a small office that I will continue to see my massage clients in, and will stay local to central CT. I will share more detailed information as plans become solid. I urge you to stay in touch with and follow your favorite businesses that reside at Compass as I’m sure they will update you all with concrete plans as they become available. Until then, we hope you all continue to support us small businesses as we navigate this transition and we rely on you more than ever!

As women, we wear many hats. As business owners, we can’t even count how many hats we wear. For seven incredible years I wore the hats of licensed massage therapist, certified birth doula, and owner of Compass, in addition to being a wife and mother. As women we are taught to be strong, fearless, ambitious, and to reach for the sky. Anything is possible. I think that being strong can also be knowing when its time to change course, knowing that you have just too many hats, and its time to lighten the load in order to once again thrive, and not just survive. This decision is both a business decision and a personal one. Compass needed me to give 120% to pull it out of its struggles, and my family needs 150% of me right now. So with the end of a lease coming up soon, it was time to make this very difficult decision.

Compass has been like a baby to me. And like a new mother, I had no clue what I was doing when I started this place. No business degree, no true idea what parameters I should use to run this business, I just learned along the way. I think I made some really good decisions, and failed in others. But I think I created something really special that I will forever be proud of. There are countless people who made this place so special, especially our loyal patrons and community that shared their love for Compass with all their friends and family and helped us to grow. And for all those who this decision impacts, I hope you can understand how hard this decision was for me and how much thought went into recognizing that this is what’s best.

So from the bottom of my heart, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has ever supported Compass. And I hope you are able to continue to support the incredible women that I share this space with and I will forever continue to support them myself.

Bean Tree Baby is having spring special this week... Check it out!

We're welcoming spring with something special... 🌿

I don't know about you, but it's been a long winter here, and I am so ready for spring to take hold!

Last week, I did some spring cleaning at the store and now The Clearance Cradle is overflowing with discounted goodies. I'd love to make room for new things to come, so this week we're going to do a spring cleaning special! Take 10% off store wide now through end of day Sunday, March 26th. This spring special sale is on everything... Both regular priced items and newly stocked Clearance Cradle items!

Just use the code SPRING when shopping online. Or mention the discount code if you're shopping in person at the storefront! Either way works.

Need to do some holiday gift shopping? Bean Tree Baby has a pop-up toy shop going on in the community room here at Compass today! Stop by from 11am-5pm to browse all their toys & games for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.

Hip, Hip, Hooray... It's a Pop-Up Toy Shop day! I wound up not having an appointment this morning, so I decided to set up a little earlier than planned. We'll be open for browsing and shopping from 11am-5pm today!

Wondering what the deal is with the Pop-Up Toy Shops? While we normally focus on "baby things', for the holidays we have curated a small selection of our favorite toys and extended the age range to include toddlers and preschoolers. Our little toy shop focuses on toys made using natural & non-toxic materials and those that promote open ended play. We hope you can stop by to see it all in person!

Can't make it in to the store? No worries, you can also shop our extended toy selection online anytime!

Sara has ONE spot open for a mini session on Saturday! If you're in the Greater Hartford area this is a great opportunity to document this moment in your family's life.

Did you miss my Autumn Minis last weekend?
Luckily I have one spot available for THIS weekends mini event!

Last weekend was amazing; 5 beautiful families, all within different seasons of parenthood. Sessions weren't rushed whatsoever, which I LOVE, and we found moments to connect, love, laugh, play, and find the magic within this part of life.
