Connection with your baby...
and connection with yourself as a parent.

Your month of holistic learning about the newborn period begins on July 1st with access to the member portal. We'll kick off with a live virtual session where you'll learn how to understand and confidently respond to your baby's cues, expectations, and needs for a calm newborn season.

A week later we'll delve into newborn sleep and parental well-being to make sure you're able to plan and implement strategies for caring for your baby and yourself.

Then over the course of the month you'll have the opportunity to combine your knowledge of these practical strategies with personal reflections on your own parenting values. You'll be able to make informed decisions that will allow you to move beyond overwhelm to holistically meet everyone's needs and support your bonding as a new family.

The Ebb + Flow Holistic Newborn Care Program includes five modules:

  • Holistic Newborn Planning
  • Cues, Care, and Connection
  • Newborn Feeding
  • Newborn Sleep
  • Parental Well-being

Live sessions:

  • Saturday, July 3rd, 2-4:30pm PST
  • Saturday, July 10th, 2-4:30pm PST
Features:

Two live sessions with time for questions and answers so you'll leave with the knowledge and confidence to connect with your newborn and get off to a sound beginning as a new family.  

Carefully crafted and thoughtfully curated resources including videos, digital downloads, reference sheets, and checklists to extend your learning.

And, because the learning doesn't stop at the end of a class, you'll also receive access to the exclusive Ebb + Flow Holistic Newborn community is included for on-going support.

Pricing

I am currently offering the Ebb + Flow Holistic Newborn Program on a Pay What You Can model.

I ask for a suggested minimum deposit of $50 to hold your place in the group.  You can pay your full desired amount at the time of registration, or you can wait and make an additional payment (if desired) after the class. Similar class programs of this nature are typically $225-350 or more.

Additionally, I prioritize scholarships for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ families.  If this is you, and the deposit is prohibitive, please be in touch and we will find something that works for us.
