“These sessions helped me slow down, tune in, and meet my baby’s needs with more confidence in the modern world.”
Bringing each of my three children into this kind of calm, nurturing baby space has felt like taking a deep breath. Other baby groups often felt overwhelming and overstimulating, but Nurturing Beginnings Mothers' Group offered something different: a warm, caring and peaceful environment for both me and my babies. I learned research-informed ways to understand, support and connect with my baby, which helped me feel more confident and present as a mother. The world has changed so much in recent years, but the needs of babies and young children remain the same. These sessions helped me slow down, tune in, and meet my baby’s needs with more confidence in the modern world.
“One of my closest friends came out of the program but also the chance to work through issues in a calm space helped.”

“The hardest part postpartum was feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, not knowing where to look for support, and finding the confidence to ask for help while caring for my baby. Knowing what advice to trust is hard when there is so much conflicting information. It would be wonderful for there to be more Nurturing Beginnings Mothers’ Groups.”
