All Moms Support Group
A community resource and support group designed as a 6 week session, to create a safe space for that delicate time after pregnancy and birth. A place you can come while your baby cries the whole time. Yes, please come. A place you can come not worrying about a shower, or we can be your excuse for a shower!
The variety of emotional ranges and physical changes can feel isolating – but there’s a woman out there thinking those same thoughts that you are! We want you to get a chance to meet her. Come meet the moms you can create friendships with, not just because you’ve had babies, but because there’s a true spark of friendship and understanding.
Each week we’ll seek to address one of the topics listed below, chosen by the class, in addition to asking for your own input for topics, plus a general round table group chat. Peer support facilitated by non-judgmental, working mommas, who happen to be peri-birth professionals, who have and will cry, laugh, and listen right alongside you. And maybe take turns holding some babies while we’re at it.
This group is limited to 12 women to facilitate real relationship building. Walk-ins cannot attend as we are creating a safe space for sharing. You are certainly welcome to attend more than one session.
Topics including:
Birth Processing
Sleep
PPD vs baby blues, and the range between
Feelings of Isolation
Self care
Self image and Body Image
Breast and bottle feeding, including pumping
Childcare Issues and Considerations
To Work or Not to Work? Work from home?
Relationship Balance, including Sex
Navigating Friendships, old friends, childless friends, new friends, those with different parenting philosophies
And you. What topic would you bring up?

Blog
Welcome to my blog! This is the place I want to share things with you – newsworthy things in my world of birth and lactation, thoughts and personal experiences, and ideally continue to educate any reader that comes across it.
So welcome to a blog tailored to expectant and postpartum families, run by a mom who is an educator, a doula, and a lactation specialist. I hope I can serve you well.

Comprehensive Childbirth Education Series
Doula Services by Gillian Foreman
For the remainder of 2016, Gillian is booking births through Last Minute Doula.
However, this winter look for completely new packages here for 2017 and beyond!
Services such as:
– having your doula dedicated to only you for your entire “due window”, i.e. 37-42 weeks gestation.
– along with birth doula services, having private, and customizable, in-home Childbirth Education and knowledgeable lactation and postpartum support after birth.
These are designed to reflect a family that seeks more than birth services alone: a complete and full package with a peri-birth expert for peace of mind, confidence, and personal support.
