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. The classes taught me so much and I left feeling a lot more confident as a mom. I experienced a lot of postpartum anxiety with my daughter and this class was what helped me most out of anything. 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!

This is your sign to just sign up! This class has truly been one of the highlights of my motherhood…read morejourney. I've met the most amazing women (first in the newborn class and then again in the infant class) and the friendships I've made are priceless. You'll learn so much that's specific to each week/stage, and trust me, there's nothing like having a group of moms whose babies are the exact same age as yours. 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!!!

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.

She put our minds at ease and opened our minds to a world of empathetic parenting. Her classes are a mix of therapy and education, but feel very personal and open. We took the class via zoom, which I thought might be a bit impersonal, but not at all; we could 100% feel her warmth and understanding through the virtual medium. I'm sure it's even better in person. Thank you, Hayley!

I always knew I didn't want to parent the same way I was parented. I had an idea of the relationship I wanted to have with my child but didn't have the tools to actually make that relationship happen, until this class! My world has shifted (for the better) and I am constantly growing because of Parenting From The Heart. All of the communication tools you learn within​ the class work for ALL relationships, not just the relationship with your children. These tools will make you a better spouse, child, co-parent, co-worker, boss, whatever role you have within your life, it will transform that relationship. I also believe it is never too early OR too late to take this class. Thank you Ty and Linda for creating this class and I can NOT wait to read your book when it comes out​ in May 2019! You have already changed the lives of so many and your book will truly​ make a positive impact on the world.

I didn't know what to expect, but i was looking for a coach to deal with my public speaking…read moreanxiety. I'm deathly afraid of speaking in front of people.. I don't know what it is about it. Maybe in my head everyone is so judgemental.. Anyways, Dr. Vo helped calmed my nerves and taught me steps to overcome my fears. After looking more into her programs it seems like she specialize with people who have social disorders... But this doesn't mean she can't help you if you don't have mental/social disorders. 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. She leaves a lasting impressing and I'm very glad I went to go see her. Go see Lucy Vo, trust me you won't regret it!

She's patient, compassionate, makes you feel heard, and will suggest resources if you're not sure what to discuss that week, or if you'd like to do research on your own. I started my sessions wondering if I'd feel "normal" again, and ended them knowing that Violet provided me the tools to heal.

We ended up going to her clinic to seek advice for the flat spot and feeding issues. Each session was incredibly informative! She taught us how to do a swaddle with a bolster to help improve my baby's head shape, gave us pointers on breast feeding techniques, identified my baby's tongue/lip/cheek ties impacting her latch, and strategies to help with rolling and tension release. After her guidance with one session we were immediately seeing improvements! I couldn't be happier to endorse Wayz to Play for your family! Because of Britney I was able to avoid having to put a helmet on my baby, and felt empowered to continue breast feeding when so many other specialists told me to consider quitting. She's amazing with babies and was super comforting to me as a new parent. Thank you so much!

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.

The larger Mama Bear Community has been extremely welcoming and keeps the sense of community going strong even after the classes are completed. I like that there are often experts invited to answer questions or give advice and they are selected based on what each group is most interested in learning! If you're a mom looking for mommy-and-me groups, stop looking and join up.

It really helped me bond with my baby and I loved meeting other moms with babies in the same age range who I can still hang out with. This was my second baby, and I had tried a mom group with my first that was fine. I wanted something different and more personal this time around, something more focused on relationships that were authentic and real. I don't want the makeup and show that some moms put on - I wanted people who would keep it real, and Ashley did a great job of fostering this kind of environment. I also really enjoyed the speakers that Ashley brought in. Even though this wasn't my first time around the baby block, I still learned things every week. I would strongly recommend this group to anyone with a baby or a toddler.
