Welcoming a baby changes everything. Even in the joyful moments, it can still feel really hard. Most new moms feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unlike themselves in the early days of parenthood.

Almost 80% of new birthing parents experience the “baby blues”. This can include mood swings, trouble sleeping, anxiety, and irritability. For some, those feelings don’t go away and can turn into postpartum depression or anxiety. 

The Postpartum Therapy Group is a free, non-judgmental space to talk about your feelings and learn practical tips to feel better. You don’t need a diagnosis to join, and you don’t need to be at your breaking point. If something just feels off, this group is for you.

For partners and family members:

Supporting someone through pregnancy or postpartum can be overwhelming, too. 

Our free, virtual Postpartum Therapy Group for Partners will help you navigate baby blues, postpartum depression, and anxiety with confidence and compassion. Whether you’re unsure about how to support your partner, struggling with your emotions, or simply want to connect with other new parents, this group can help.

Toddlers and preschoolers test every boundary. When every day feels like a battle with tantrums, screaming, and endless “no’s”, you don’t have to keep guessing what will work. 

In our Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers class, you will learn positive, practical strategies to handle misbehaviour, set boundaries, and communicate with your child.  

You can take the class in a small group and meet other parents who get it, or you can take a private lesson.

Parenting school-age kids can feel like a daily battle - arguments about homework, constant backtalk, slammed doors, and sibling fights. Some days it feels like nothing works, no matter what you try, and you are left exhausted, frustrated, and questioning yourself as a parent.

The Parenting School-Age Children class is here to give you real, practical tools that make parenting feel less overwhelming. Together, we’ll explore why kids this age act out, and how to respond in ways that actually work.

By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident creating parenting strategies that stick, setting boundaries with less pushback, and handling everyday challenges with more calm.  

You can take the class in a small group and meet other parents in similar situations, or take a private lesson.
