The class was practical, engaging, and covered so many helpful topics. The center also offers a variety of amazing classes for both moms and babies, making it an incredible resource throughout pregnancy and beyond. I highly recommend it to any expecting or new parent looking for support, education, and a welcoming community!

Michelle and her…read moreteam have created such a fun, welcoming, and judgment-free space where moms and their little ones can connect, play, and feel supported. I've taken two of their mommy-and-baby class series, and I loved both of them. Each series includes special touches like each week is a different topica mini photoshoot, a swim party, and so much more, which makes it absolutely worth every penny. Carmen, who helped lead the group, is amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always makes me feel heard. She gives thoughtful advice and truly cares about the moms and babies she works with. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. I've also attended several music classes with Michelle, and those have been some of my favorites. My daughter absolutely loves music time, and Michelle does such a great job keeping the kids engaged and entertained. We truly love The Mommy Center and are so grateful for everything they offer!!

I just finished Hayley's 8 week parenting class (Virtually due to COVID 19) and I am so thankful I…read moresigned up when I did. I had the opportunity of hearing Hayley speak in a NMS class, but when I saw she was offering her own series I knew I needed to sign up. My daughter is newly 1 and I found all of the class topics and resources extremely beneficial and helpful for my husband and I. Hayley cares about your personal parenting stories, difficulties and even shares from her own experiences. Even though the class typically meets in person I did not feel that the zoom environment took away from the experience at all. It actually made it a lot easier and flexible for me. The best part of the class for me was the ability to ask questions every week in regards to issues I was currently experiencing. Hayley was able to give me immediate guidance, support and resources to look at for help. I felt that hearing other people's struggles and stories also helped me in feeling supported. I am walking away from this class with tons of information, guidance and resources! So much that I will need to go back and refer to. I also have multiple authors, handouts, articles that have helped shape and transform my parenting methods. I am also walking away with an entirely new understanding of how kids grow, learn and behave. This class has truly helped me gain more of an understanding, tolerance and patience for my daughter, myself and my husband. Hayley makes it sound so easy and logical, when it feels like nothing makes sense. I've recommended this class to all my mom friends! I am going to miss this class and I hope she creates a second session/series in the near future!

I just completed the 8-week class a month ago and I am glad I took the initiative to sign-up. From…read morethe start, I spoke with Haley (very knowledgeable) about my particular situation to determine if the classes would benefit and they did. My daughter is 4 1/2 and I wish I would have discovered her classes earlier. I really enjoyed the group discussions with other parents along with applying the info. and skills learned with the parenting of my daughter. My suggestion is that if you are not sure if the class meets your needs/goals is to reach-out to Haley.

Where do I even start! I signed up for the Second Time Mom Class even though this was my third…read morebaby. And honestly, I felt a little silly registering, assuming I'd "been there, done that." I could not have been more wrong. I was completely blown away by how much I learned, used, and genuinely needed. Each week brought in a different expert, and the range of knowledge was incredible. Everything from marriage and relationship tips to improve the flow of your household, to managing toddler behavior, baby and toddler sleep, even a professional that helped me identify diastasis recti. There was something valuable in every single session, no matter how many kids you already have at home. And then there's the community you build. Having a weekly group of intelligent, supportive women to lean on during one of the most overwhelming seasons of life was invaluable. Its the kind of thing you don't know you need until you experience it. Becca, our group leader and the owner, made all the difference in our group. She's warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly has an amazing network of resources, because every week felt exactly like what we needed. Highly, highly recommend to every mom, no matter how many babies you've already had. Thank you Becca and NMS Team! Appreciate you all so much.

I loved New Mom School so much! It helped me find moms going through the same phase of life that I…read moream currently in! It's an amazing group & I feel more confident as a mom now :)

I signed up for Daddy Boot Camp thinking the more knowledge I could get under my belt before our…read morelittle one arrived, the better. Most of the baby-prepping material out there (books, magazines, apps, websites) are geared towards the Moms-to-be. So when a friend recommended something for Dads taught by Dads, I was intrigued. And I wasn't let down. The format - a bunch of dudes talking in a room, basically - is so simple and so helpful. We had one overall moderator, about 20+ Dads-to-be, and another 4 or 5 new Dads with their babies. We talked about our concerns, listened to suggestions, and interacted with the babies when possible. For someone who'd rarely been around infants, it was a great opportunity for me to really get past any fears I had. Even got to change a few diapers during the course of class, which once our little one arrived, prepared me better than any other class my wife and I had taken at the hospital. Have already recommended the class to friends and would absolutely encourage other Dads-to-be to attend. It's such a simple concept yet it was so immensely helpful.

Would I recommend this to A LOT of expecting fathers? Yes…read more My wife and I are in social circles where there are plenty of little ones around so we have some kid/baby experience. In addition we have done a lot of research to prepare for this new phase, making this class a bit redundant. I would recommend this class to you if: - You are uneasy holding a small/newborn baby. - If you have never heard that breastfeeding does not simply happen, but takes sustained effort. - You have never changed a diaper. THE CLASS COVERS WAY MORE THAN THOSE TOPICS, however, I feel the answers to those questions are good indicators as to whether or not you are a good candidate. I went to the one at Mission Hospital, so others will have different facilitators. The problem with a class full of expecting fathers with almost no baby experience (the target demographic) is that the broaching of a topic of serious consequence will happen. For example, the facilitator went on a 5-10 minute tangent extolling the virtues of the epidural. I know for a fact that a majority of the expecting fathers left that room feeling like their wives would need an epidural and that it, practically, would not be an option. To be clear, I have no problem with epidurals. I just feel that if you are going to sell anything to a group that is eager to learn (sponge), said group needs to know at the very least there are pros & cons. Here are a couple of tips if you are planning on going: 1. Take a few minutes to write down a couple of specific questions you'd like answered as there is some Q&A time. 2. Obviously you are going in looking to learn from fathers with more experience than you, however, please remember you need to do your own research, even if it backs up what they say. I will say that I picked up a few little practical tips and perspectives and it is nice to be in a 'men only' scenario where any question goes. Finally, I take one star out because of the lack of details on the epidural tangent and also because the class went about 15 minutes late.

Olivia is amazing and I highly recommend her! My son was scheduled for a tongue, lip, and buccal…read morerevision and I desperately needed to get into an OT with short notice. Olivia was able to squeeze me in and prep my husband, son and I for the surgery. We met with her several times after to work on his oral function after his initial evaluation. She emailed me a detailed plan with many at-home exercises we could do with my son to help build his oral strength to improve his sucking and oral motor skills. It was apparent my son absolutely adored Olivia. She is very kind and gentle and has a calming energy that I think he was drawn to. In addition, Olivia followed up with us several times to check in on my son's progress which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Olivia as she is well-trained, professional, down-to-earth and simply a kind human being.

BEST OT EVER! After a lactation consult, we were referred to a few OTs for a tongue and lip tie. I…read morechose Olivia first because her quick response to seeing our daughter (because this mama was tired of breastfeeding struggles)! Olivia guided us with great workouts for her mouth, sent an email of our guide, and checked in on us. She would even send me videos of exercises I needed more help with. Within a week, I saw such an improvement in her oral skills. We saw Olivia a few times for oral exercises and craniosacral fascial therapy. Within two weeks, our girl was LOOSE and ready for her tongue and lip release. I never realized how tense our baby was until Olivia worked her magic and I was able to hold our baby as if she melted into me. If you are looking for someone who is caring and knowledgeable, Olivia is your gal! Seriously, we have a brand new baby after seeing Olivia. I wish I had seemed help earlier. Thank you Olivia for seriously changing our lives and our daughter's. I'm seriously looking forward to if there are any more challenges because I know Olivia will be there to help us through them.
