We thought waking up 4-5 times a night and feeding her was normal and we were doomed to a life without rest. Joanna's detailed questionnaire and phone consultation helped put our mind's at ease and her guidance throughout comforted us in VERY uncomfortable situations when not under expert supervision (baby crying while falling asleep). My only criticism, as we paid for the support, was that some calls we scheduled were missed (we didn't receive a call or the call time was missed by enough to mention it) but the quality of her service makes up for this as she always took the time to answer all questions so the abovementioned isn't enough to affect my 5-Star review. For the prices she charges, we were very happy with the level of service! It's absolutely worth the cash and my 6-month old slept from 7:30pm to 6:30am this weekend!

We never really considered getting a sleep coach-- we thought we should be able to figure out how…read moreto get our child to sleep (should be natural, right?! ... wrong) Joanna has a clinical approach to sleep training which was important to me. She did a comprehensive assessment and discussed what we valued and what we needed to make this successful. For me-- I was uncomfortable with any amount of extended crying. She heard my concerns and she developed a sleep training plan to get our daughter sleeping independently in her crib for naps and overnight. Joanna hosts a daily call which is very helpful for asking questions and confirming we made the right call the night before. This was especially helpful for me because I doubted myself constantly. Our daughter now is an EXCELLENT sleeper. Hands down best money we ever spent.

The Mommy Center has been such a wonderful experience for both me and my daughter. 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!!

Prior to class, we had a group WhatsApp which made it so easy to communicate and get introduced to each other. I love that the center organized mommy outings for us, planned family picnics, as well as provided professional photography. I was never stressed out when I was at the center, knowing that there's a diaper station with plenty of diapers in many sizes, formula in case mamas forget to bring sustenance for baby, bottle warmers, and everything we need to feel comfortable. It felt above and beyond. I highly recommend trying one of several classes they offer! I'm excited to continue onto their 4-6 month old sessions and try out the baby music class.

The topics were incredibly helpful and relevant. It felt like exactly what I needed during those early newborn days. The space itself is so clean, beautifully designed, and calming. The interiors and overall aesthetic create such a safe and comfortable environment, which makes a huge difference as a new mom. We even did cute arts and crafts that I would have never done if it wasn't for this group. We loved it so much that we're already signed up for the next group class. As a major introvert, I can't recommend it enough for any new mom looking for community, guidance, and a beautiful place to land during those first few months.

If you're on the fence...just take a chance and get out of the house and do it!!! There's nothing else like this out there. Do it for the community, the learning, and most of all - for you!!!

My only regret is not taking the infant series! This class connected me with the most amazing support system when I needed it most and I still talk to those moms every day.

I loved my experience so much I ended up bringing this to Las Vegas. Becca the owner, is such a lovely teacher and makes you feel so safe and comfortable. She is incredibly knowledgeable and down to earth, I felt very lucky to have her as my instructor. Definitely make this a part of your postpartum experience!

My husband and…read moreI ended up hiring someone else referred to us by a close friend, and when that went south I called Suzi for help. She was already booked at the time (I needed an immediate replacement), but she spent that evening calling colleagues in her network that may be available to assist me. She spent a few hours doing this, reaching out to different people and coordinating a replacement for me. She did this all at no benefit to herself. That spoke volumes to me. When I was in need she stepped in to help me and made herself available to me with any questions or advice I needed. She is such a professional and a true expert in her field. I will 100% be reaching out to her as we grow our family for overnight support. And I would recommend her to anyone looking for a newborn care specialist who truly cares about her families and their babies. Suzi is a gem!

She took her time with us, carefully explaining everything and making sure we felt comfortable and confident moving forward. We never felt rushed, and she answered all of our questions thoughtfully. The best part was seeing immediate results. The very same day we implemented her advice, our newborn gave us a long stretch of sleep, which was such an incredible relief and reassurance that we were on the right track. Her guidance was clear, practical, and easy to implement. We left our session feeling supported and empowered. I highly recommend Suzie to any family looking for compassionate and knowledgeable sleep support.

If you're feeling down or feel like you have anxiety she can help. I recall she mentioned she has groups sessions to help people learn how to interact and interject themselves with people naturally. The moment I walked into her office I felt really comfortable. She never makes you feel rushed and she takes her time to explain things.

Choosing Laguna College of Art + Design was truly life-changing and remains one of the best…read moredecisions I've ever made. For a long time, I wasn't even sure if a creative career was feasible, let alone if I could support myself doing it. LCAD proved that it's not only possible but sustainable. One of the biggest draws for me was that LCAD is one of the most affordable accredited art and design schools in California. I never felt like I was sacrificing quality for cost. The education I received in the Design program was easily on par with competitors like Art Center, but with a much smaller price tag and a far more intimate environment. The industry connections here were so exciting to me. While I was still a student, I had the opportunity to work on projects with powerhouse brands like: Nike, Vans, Hurley, and the Anaheim Ducks. These aren't just names on a syllabus; they are real-world partnerships that prepare you for the workforce. When I graduated and entered the industry, I felt completely prepared because the classes were incredibly rigorous. People might think a school in a beautiful beach town is the "easy" choice, but I have never worked harder in my life. What really sets LCAD apart is the faculty. They don't just know your name; they care about your life. I saw this firsthand when a friend in the program was in a bad car accident. The Department Chair personally helped her navigate legal issues and created a custom plan so she wouldn't fall behind due to transportation hurdles. Years after graduating, I am still on texting terms with many of my professors. They are always ready to provide industry leads or advice. The location in Laguna Beach is stunning. Being able to slow down and enjoy the nature of the canyon provided a necessary balance to the high-intensity coursework. Not to mention the beauty and calm allowed for a constant source of inspiration for me. I left LCAD with a sharpened skillset, a career I love, and a group of best friends who are now my peers in the industry. If you are looking for a supportive, high-caliber, and industry-connected experience, this is it. I wouldn't change my time here for anything.
