Growing Together  - Connect with your village 

Postponed - stay tuned for new dates

Join Lisa Westhorpe for Growing Together, an innovative 7-week class series for moms and babies. Growing Together provides connection, support and guidance on infant development and play for babies, and realistic self care for moms, in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment. Come for the evidence-based information and activities, and leave with a ready-made group of mom friends to support you through your transition into motherhood.
 
The class is suitable for new moms from the immediate postpartum onwards through to when baby turns 7 months old (pre-crawling). The class has six taught sessions with topics related to mom and baby, and one ‘coffee and chat’ session where moms can connect and build community. This unique course led by a Masters-qualified pediatric and maternal health occupational therapist will guide you through your first experiences with your baby, so that you feel confident in being the parent you want to be.
