New Classes, Featuring the Hottest Thing a New Parent Can do in Bed: SLEEP!

Greetings from the Education Department!

We’ve got some HOT new educational offerings for the fall. By popular demand, local sleep expert Erica Desper of Confident Parenting will be offering her wildly popular classes for parents of newborns and parents of children three months to two years of age: Newborn Sleep 101 and Why Won’t My Child Sleep?! . Erica’s approach is gentle and age-appropriate. She offers strategies that suit your child’s needs and personality, and your parenting style.

We’re equally excited to offer Jenna Brown of Love Over Fear Wellness and Birth’s Yoga for Labor and Birth workshop. This comprehensive, three-hour workshop will provide practical tools to support physical and emotional comfort throughout labor. There will be time for participants to reflect on and discuss how they feel and act in times of discomfort so that they can explore the comfort measures (positioning, breath work, posture, movement, hands-on support from your birth partner, affirmation, and more) that may work best.

We will also be offering your usual favorites, including:

• Family & Friends CPR
• Prenatal Yoga
• Diastasis Recti Info Session plus the follow-up Core Restore Series
• Happy Harmonies
• Infant Massage
• Moving Through Labor
• The Fourth Trimester
• Focus on Breastfeeding
• One-Day Childbirth Preparation
• Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting

All of these classes and workshops are open to the public. We appreciate you helping us spread the word. Classes fill up quickly and space is limited, so please register soon!
