Why join this group?
I am committed to offering support to mothers, fathers, and partners as you navigate the joys and challenges of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My goal is to provide you with evidence-based information, and emotional and practical support.
Together, through shared experiences, shared knowledge, and mutual encouragement, I aim to make you feel empowered with the tools and confidence necessary for a positive transition into parenthood.

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.
