She evaluated my 5 month old baby for development and taught me how to best serve his needs to move him into independence. I didn't realize how much happier he would be feeling free. She sent me toy suggestions with links that make it way for a busy Mom. She also looked at every space of my home and suggested a music corner to integrate my 3 year old into my babies development and went over baby weening, play baskets with a purpose with a less is more approach. How much money did she save me in toys!! I did t realize less is more to not over stimulate. She brought a photo that baby could play with and is now helping my put up a changing bar. She is absolutely amazing and invaluable. My son will start montessori with my elder child and she helped me understand how to best serve his needs. I can't thank her enough and her boyfriend is even making me montessori furniture. Really I've never been so impressed and will recommend her to all of my friends. Thank you baby tour guide.

It is…read moresomething I am very interested in, as I want my little girl to grow up feeling confident and happy, and believe in her ability to do just about anything. The session was lovely. We were a group of 7 mothers, and the feeling was intimate and friendly, even though I didn't know all the women that participated. During the session Lital explained what can harm our child's self esteem and gave us plenty of day-to-day examples. She gave us great tools and explained how to communicate with our children better, and make them feel more confident and believe in themselves. This has been a month ago and I still use these tools on a daily basis. I can't wait for the next session.

I could not have been more wrong. I was completely blown away by how much I learned, used, and genuinely needed. Each week brought in a different expert, and the range of knowledge was incredible. Everything from marriage and relationship tips to improve the flow of your household, to managing toddler behavior, baby and toddler sleep, even a professional that helped me identify diastasis recti. There was something valuable in every single session, no matter how many kids you already have at home. And then there's the community you build. Having a weekly group of intelligent, supportive women to lean on during one of the most overwhelming seasons of life was invaluable. Its the kind of thing you don't know you need until you experience it. Becca, our group leader and the owner, made all the difference in our group. She's warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly has an amazing network of resources, because every week felt exactly like what we needed. Highly, highly recommend to every mom, no matter how many babies you've already had. Thank you Becca and NMS Team! Appreciate you all so much.

The speakers each week are so helpful and supportive to answer all questions and facilitate discussion. The space is beautiful and peaceful with many close restaurants to meet up and go out with the other moms and babies before or after group. I did the newborn group and all babies were grouped within a few weeks of each other. Now my baby is 7 months old and I still connect with our group chat weekly to share wins, ask for recommendations, and connect with our cohort. If you are on the fence about investing in this group, you absolutely should sign up. It was a great way to build my confidence in taking my baby out on my own and all the women encouraged me to feel confident in becoming a mother for the first time! I have many friends with kids, but a lot of them aren't in the newborn stage anymore. It really helps to have people in your corner that are also in the same stage. You won't regret it and will start recommending it to all the other moms you know!

Maybe in my head everyone is so judgemental.. Anyways, Dr. Vo helped calmed my nerves and taught me steps to overcome my fears. After looking more into her programs it seems like she specialize with people who have social disorders... But this doesn't mean she can't help you if you don't have mental/social disorders. If you're feeling down or feel like you have anxiety she can help. I recall she mentioned she has groups sessions to help people learn how to interact and interject themselves with people naturally. The moment I walked into her office I felt really comfortable. She never makes you feel rushed and she takes her time to explain things. She leaves a lasting impressing and I'm very glad I went to go see her. Go see Lucy Vo, trust me you won't regret it!

I started my sessions wondering if I'd feel "normal" again, and ended them knowing that Violet provided me the tools to heal.

We had good friends and family refer us to Baby Sleep Concierge when our newborn had trouble…read moresleeping through the night. We thought waking up 4-5 times a night and feeding her was normal and we were doomed to a life without rest. Joanna's detailed questionnaire and phone consultation helped put our mind's at ease and her guidance throughout comforted us in VERY uncomfortable situations when not under expert supervision (baby crying while falling asleep). My only criticism, as we paid for the support, was that some calls we scheduled were missed (we didn't receive a call or the call time was missed by enough to mention it) but the quality of her service makes up for this as she always took the time to answer all questions so the abovementioned isn't enough to affect my 5-Star review. For the prices she charges, we were very happy with the level of service! It's absolutely worth the cash and my 6-month old slept from 7:30pm to 6:30am this weekend!

She did a comprehensive assessment and discussed what we valued and what we needed to make this successful. For me-- I was uncomfortable with any amount of extended crying. She heard my concerns and she developed a sleep training plan to get our daughter sleeping independently in her crib for naps and overnight. Joanna hosts a daily call which is very helpful for asking questions and confirming we made the right call the night before. This was especially helpful for me because I doubted myself constantly. Our daughter now is an EXCELLENT sleeper. Hands down best money we ever spent.

From the moment we met her, we just knew she was the perfect fit for us. This was our first baby, and she guided us through everything. She answered all of our questions, made us feel so supported, and honestly exceeded every expectation we had. I also really loved that she's the perfect balance of holistic, but will absolutely speak up if something medical is needed. You can tell her top priority is always keeping both mom and baby safe. We also took her Bradley Method class, which was so helpful and made me feel way more prepared and confident going into birth. We learned so much, and I've already been recommending it to everyone. I fully trusted her the entire time, which made such a difference for me going into labor and birth. Throughout my labor, she was there at any time of day to answer my calls and questions, and she always helped me feel calm and educated about what was happening. On the day of the birth, she was calm, confident, and completely in her element. She made the whole experience feel so smooth and magical. I recommend Christy to anyone, and I already know I'll want her as my midwife for all of my future babies

The team at Honey Midwifery has been cultivated with love and education. Every step of the way we talked through my concerns and we talked about the vision of how I wanted my birth to look. My partner was included at every appointment and together we celebrated each new milestone in my pregnancy with love and guidance from Christy and her team. When it was time for my son to make his earthside debut, Christy and her team created a safe space for me and my partner. It's hard to describe but they knew exactly when to check in and when to respect my space. Christy was right there when I needed her wisdom the most. Her words provided the warmth and safety I needed in my most vulnerable time. Honey Midwifery is committed to not only caring for mothers and their families during pregnancy (and postpartum), but also in providing education so families can make informed decisions. I am so glad we chose Honey Midwifery for our health team!

They replied promptly and answered all my questions. I decided to register with them. That evening I received a text from Howard Huhem, LMFT. He stated he would reach out to me in the next 24 hours to schedule the assessment. The following morning I received a text to let me know he was available to start the assessment or could schedule it for a later date / time. I was super impressed because I thought it would be a few days before the process even got started. Mr. Humen was very kind, understanding and nonjudgmental as we had our conversation. He had a genuine desire to get to know me, my background and even my hobbies. We shared a few stories around beaches we have enjoyed surfing and how things have changed over the years. Even though it was only a few minutes of talking, I immediately felt more comfortable and relaxed sharing details of my personal life with Mr. Humen. The assessment took only a few days, and it was very favorable to me as the client but also accurate. I have know other people who have taken similar assessments and had to take lengthy and expensive educational classes. My results did not require any classes which is great! If you need any type of assessment for work, court, or anything else, AJ Novick Group is your one stop shop. Ask for Howard, he is worth every penny and then some.
