For New Parents and Babies Born Between June 1st and August 18th

Those first weeks and months with a new baby are filled with wonder, love, questions, and enormous change. While so much attention goes toward caring for the baby, parents often discover they need care, understanding, and support, too.

Our New Mom & Baby Nurture Circle is a welcoming, in-person gathering for parents and their babies ages 6 weeks to 4 months. It is designed to help you slow down, feel supported, and grow into your relationship with your baby with greater confidence and understanding.

This is more than a typical new parent support group. It is an experience that helps parents understand their baby in a way they may never have before.

Each week, we explore how babies communicate long before they have words, how their developing brains and nervous systems are shaped through everyday relationships, and how simple moments of responsiveness, eye contact, touch, voice, and repair help build security and resilience.

These groups are designed to grow your baby’s brain right along side yours! As you learn how they develop and communicate, you grow your ability to understand and respond to their unique language. And, that gives you your steady footing and builds your trust in your parenting capabilities.

You will also learn easy, practical, evidence-informed ways to care for your own nervous system during the emotional and physical adjustment to parenthood. Because your well-being matters, too. When parents feel more grounded, supported, and understood, it becomes easier to notice their baby’s cues and respond with greater calm and confidence.

Each gathering includes gentle grounding practices, meaningful conversation, guided reflection, and bite-sized lessons inspired by nurture neuroscience, attachment research, and early relational health. There is also plenty of space to share the joys, questions, uncertainty, and real-life challenges of caring for a new baby.

In addition to our mini lessons on brain development and sleep patterns, I respond to your questions regarding topics of interest. As a nurse, lactation consultant, perinatal educator and infant massage instructor, expect a sprinkling in of that content as well. And, some surprise guests to share their version of nurture with you.

Together, we create a small, supportive village where feeding, fussing, diaper changes, naps, and interruptions are expected. You never need to apologize for your baby being a baby. You and your baby are welcome exactly as you are.

Whether this is your first baby or you are growing your family, the circle offers a calm, encouraging place to deepen connection, strengthen your instincts, and better understand the little person already communicating with you.

Our Pregnancy Nurture Circle is not your typical prenatal class. It's a welcoming community where you can slow down, connect with your baby, and prepare for birth in a way that nurtures both your heart and your nervous system. Each gathering blends calming breathing techniques, grounding practices, self-reflection, and meaningful conversations with other expectant mothers. Through bite-sized lessons in nurture neuroscience, you'll discover how your baby's developing brain is shaped by connection, safety, and love. You'll learn simple, evidence-informed ways to reduce stress, build resilience, and support both your own wellbeing and your baby's lifelong emotional health. Parenting isn't something you have to master—it's something you gently grow into. The wisdom is already within you. Sometimes it simply needs the space, support, and intention to unfold. Come grow with us. Come connect with your baby. Come discover the parent you're already becoming. 🤍
What if preparing for birth wasn't only about labor... What if it was about becoming the mother your baby already knows? During pregnancy, your baby's brain is developing at an extraordinary pace-but so is yours. You're nervous system is learning. Your intuition is growing stronger. Your capacity to nurture is expanding. Yet our culture often tells women to wait until the last few weeks of pregnancy before taking a birth class, filling those weeks with endless checklists, new information and tasks. There is another way. The pregnancy nurture circle is an intimate 8-week experience where you'll slow down, breathe, connect with your baby, understand the neuroscience of early development, learn simple nervous system regulation practices, journal, share, and build friendships with other expectant others walking a similar path. You will leave not only feeling more prepared for the significance of birth, but deeply connected to yourself, your baby, and the mother you are becoming. Because birth lasts a day, but motherhood lasts a lifetime. Join us at A Mother's Haven- Encino, Ca.

If your EDD has come up quickly and you're not sure you feel ready for what is coming I have you covered! The five week Lamaze Childbirth class series has space available. We start Sunday 5/24. @ 10 AM in a cozy home environment where snacks abound. I blend my medical background with real life experience and client stories to give you a good foundation for birth in a hospital. The lessons, discussions, and practice provide you and your partner with many helpful strategies to build your confidence and support team. You will learn how to work with your body, how to navigate the hospital environment, communicate your wishes, medical options, know your rights and use your voice. All this with the emphasis on remaining connected to your birth, your baby and your partner. #Lamaze#childbirtheducation #expectantparents
#childbirtheducation #lamaze #pregnancy #laborsupport #doulasupport Planning an unmedicated hospital birth? Does your provider support your decision? Without the "Golden Ticket" (as @EBBirth defines) of a supportive provider and supportive environment, we can have a positive experience but require education, ongoing physical, emotional and informational support and good communication with care givers. Grab my free birth support partner quick guide at the link in my bio to give you a jump start on feeling prepared for birth. Because your birth matters- to you, your baby and is the stepping off point into your bigger life as a parent. You are more powerful than you know!!
