Overview
Our Before Baby programs and workshops help parents-to-be of all kinds get ready for parenthood.
Throughout the year, we offer six week in-person Beyond the Bump groups for first time moms, in-person Nested Childbirth Education classes to get biological parents ready for labor and delivery, and Nested Newborn Care and CPR classes perfect for anyone building a family through biology, adoption, or surrogacy, as well as foster parents, friends, caregivers, nannies, and grandparents.
We help people on the path to parenthood find information, connections, and community in what is often an isolating and overwhelming process. Check out our overview of resources here and email Miriam if you would like to be connected to others who have gone through or are currently dealing with similar experiences, whether fertility issues, pregnancy or infant loss, the adoption process, or anything else. All emails will be kept strictly confidential.
Please reach out to Miriam with any questions.
