Join me for virtual classes as we learn how to smoothly transition to life with a baby!
These classes emphasize that your baby is the instruction manual. Rather than offering advice or one-size-fits-all formulas, we’ll focus on the biology of babies. You’ll learn to trust your instincts and trust your baby. And you’ll get tips and parent-hacks to enhance your first year.
Classes meet from noon-1:15pm via Zoom. Bring your lunch! Additional time will be provided for questions/discussion for anyone who doesn’t need to get back to work.
Cost is $25/person or couple (It’s fine if partners need to log in from different locations). Or register for the full series for $100. Register Here.
