MISSION STATEMENT
To provide mother -to-mother support in the prenatal and postnatal life via prenatal stretch, birthing & relaxation exercise, childbirth education for moms and couples, and musical movement and postnatal fitness exercises for mom and baby through the early childhood years.
CORE BELIEFS
~ While you are in prenatal class with us, you are in your prenatal experience, wherever you are in all of this, first. The rest can wait.
~ While a new mother, we support you as you navigate between your old and new self and with this child.
~ Here, mothers are both the nurtured and the nurturer so immerse yourself fully in this time and pace with this particular child! They are each so precious.
~ Given the tools, the education that aligns with your individual needs, effective communication and practice, your partner can be your major source of support through your pregnancy, labor and child-rearing.
~ If just given the chance and space to explore together, you and your baby can stretch, sing, strengthen and play while within each others’ reach. You don’t have to choose between being with your baby and taking care of yourself.
~ Mother knows best and, while we offer just enough tools through our LITTLEseed™ Program songs and movements for you to stretch, strengthen, sing and play, we offer enough open ended opportunities for you and baby to find your own way.
