Moms, it's time to take a MOMent.
Take a MOMent out of your "new normal" to build a community of mom friends, get advice from experts, and learn more about yourself and baby. Be ready to laugh, vent, breathe, and connect with the new you.
Each week we'll check-in, share our wins & struggles, and dive into a topic with a local professional in a small intimate group setting. You will walk away with tactical tools and the confidence needed to help your family thrive.
Topics we cover
Weekly sessions feature local pediatric and postpartum experts highlighting a new motherhood topic, such as:
Sleep
Will I, or my baby, ever get some?
Feeding
Fed is best, period.
Relationships
It takes a village.
Self-care
Because a shower doesn't count
Play and Development
Am I doing it right?
Work/Life Balance
Does it exist?
Our locations
We are currently running cohorts in two locations, with more coming soon!
All sessions are in-person.

Hear from our Moms
Take a MOMent is not just an investment in yourself, but an investment in community which all us mamas need! It’s an intimate group of women going through it together to talk about the good, the bad and the ugly of motherhood in a safe space.
My favorite part of the week are these hangouts. We get to swap stories but also but learn from experts in the space whether it’s for mama, baby or both. I’m so happy I joined - it has made a huge impact on me especially as a first time mama!
