Bringing Baby Home Workshop

Bringing Baby Home is a rejuvenating, multi-session relationship workshop for new and expectant parents.

Bringing Baby Home is designed to give new and expectant parents strategies to build and maintain their relationship, no matter how strong it is to begin with. In this workshop, we will focus on strengthening the connection between you and your partner, which in turn will help strengthen the connection of your entire family.

Designed for anyone pregnant or parenting a human under the age of 3,
this workshop is different from any baby class that you will ever attend!

The Bringing Baby Home workshop is based 40+ years of relationship research from The Gottman Institute.

You and your partner will learn simple ways to:

·    Keep your relationship the priority.

·    Transform fights into connection.

·    Set up your new family for healthy bonding long after the birth.

·    New ways to communicate with love and respect when stressed.


The research behind the magic:

Even the strongest relationships are strained during the transition to parenthood. Lack of sleep, never-ending housework and new fiscal concerns can lead to profound stress and a decline in marital satisfaction - all of which affect baby's care. Not surprisingly...

...69% of new parents experience conflict, disappointment, and hurt feelings. 

 Here's THE GOOD NEWS, we know how thriving couples handle the transition into parenthood. This class combines scientific research, education, interactive exercises and skill building to improve the quality of life for babies and children by strengthening the family.  Parents build relationship satisfaction and create healthy social, emotional and intellectual development for their children.  Research tells us that taking a Bringing Baby Home class makes a difference. 

Cost Per Couple: $299

Curriculum includes six, 2 hour interactive sessions &
a book and card decks to help facilitate conversation outside of class

 

If you are interested in additional support after the class, we can discuss individual or couples counseling options.
