OUR PROGRAMS
CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION:
We believe that the more a person knows about physiological birth, the more empowered they become in taking ownership of their bodies to make decisions before, during and after birth. We provide free and culturally relevant community Childbirth Education trainings and resources for everyone who comes through our doors.
BABY CAFE’:
Free drop-in breastfeeding education and support facilitated by a qualified lactation consultant in a welcoming environment for all parents and families. We provide a safe place to ask questions, an infant scale for weight checks and light snacks.
MAMA SWAG BAGS:
We believe every mother should feel special during and after pregnancy. We also believe having essentials can ease the childbearing process both physically and emotionally. Our swag bags come with a variety of items such as sanitary napkins, breast pumps, nursing pads, candles, light snacks, teas, etc.
