FAQ
1 / How much it cost?
These meetings are free. However, if you wish to buy me a coffee to express your appreciation and keep the positive energy flowing. If you've ever found our parent support group sessions helpful, felt uplifted by our discussions, or simply want to share some good vibes, you can buy me a virtual coffee. Your contribution helps me continue offering this invaluable support to parents-to-be.
