Planning for a Wonderful Postpartum
Russell Library, Wednesday March 6th, 7:00 pm
We tend to focus on preparing the nursery and making sure we have all of the gear. Clothes are washed and folded neatly in the dresser. There is nothing wrong with this, but we also need to prepare to handle our postpartum time emotionally, physically, and mentally.
We will go over the ‘not so typical registry list’ that includes things like: Building your Village, Prioritizing Self-Care, Utilizing Nutrition, Setting up Systems, Meal Trains, Babywearing, Herbs, Massage, Baths, and more!
Julia is a Postpartum Doula who has supported many families through this transition, come and learn her tricks to set yourself up for a wonderful Postpartum! You are also welcome to join if newly into your postpartum (babies in arms/nurslings are welcome), it’s never too late!

Infant and Toddler Sleep Myths & Facts
Russell Library, Wednesday February 6th, 7:00 pm
Come and meet your community members who are also struggling with sleep and ease your worries learning about true biological sleep norms, be comforted with a bit of predictability learning what to expect and when, bust some myths and learn some truths surrounding why sleep is the way it is, and learn some truly gentle approaches to nudging sleep in the right direction.
Julia is trained as a Sleep Educator and there is no sleep training promoted in this field, rather, all responsive parenting approaches to help our littles and us get better sleep. Please also join us if you are still expecting, a great time to learn this is before baby arrives. Babies in arms / nurslings / pre-walkers are welcome as we know it is hard to leave the house without them!
