    “When I saw Caroline post about the therapeutic group I instantly knew I wanted to sign up. Which was odd for someone who has never been open to therapy. I am so glad I did. I met awesome other moms who just truly get what you’re going through. It’s not your traditional therapy experience, it’s more like an hour and 15 minute retreat. I would highly recommend to all mommas. Caroline and Dylan are a great combination and truly make you feel heard and valued.” ~ Kelsie

  • A safe and comfortable Space

    “This group was a really great way to connect with other moms in the same phase of new-momhood! After only connecting with friends who live far away, it was great to meet and share with local moms going through the same thing. Caroline and Dylan did an amazing job facilitating and providing a safe and comfortable space to reflect, learn, and grow as a new mom. I highly recommend this therapeutic group for any first time moms - regardless of where you are and how you are feeling in your new mom journey!” ~Mel

This group will be limited to 6 participants. Being with other new moms that are going through the same phase of life as you is so valuable. It will be a safe space to share thoughts and a place where we can lift each other up in this transitional time. Moms need other moms.
