I took my 8 week old to move play grow's tummy time class yesterday. I've been to several baby…read moreclasses at different places and this was by far the most educational and I think will have the biggest overall impact on my baby's development in the long run. I learned about much more than just tummy time and it was clear that Wendi knows her stuff. It's so great to see a pediatric physical therapist investing so much of her time in educating parents so they can be proactive in ensuring their babies never have to visit her for treatment! The cost was very reasonable too.

Our 17-month-old saw Mohini for about five sessions, and we were so pleased with the progress we…read moresaw in such a short time. After just a few sessions, he started to really find his voice using some of the techniques and exercises Mohini taught us. As first-time parents, we also found the sessions incredibly educational. Mohini not only worked directly with our son, but also gave us practical guidance on how to encourage and foster communication and language development at home. We left each session with a better understanding of how to support him in everyday interactions.

Talky Tots came highly recommended by both a neighbor and my son's school, and every bit of praise…read moreis absolutely deserved by the entire team. Our son worked one-on-one with Sarah for about a year, and the transformation in his speech was nothing short of remarkable. He went from being far behind his classmates to meeting--and in many cases surpassing--their speech levels. What sets Sarah apart is not only her incredible skill as a teacher, but also her ability to truly connect with her students. She taught our son in ways that resonated with him, making each session engaging and effective. Most importantly, she built such a strong bond with him that he would look forward to their time together and was genuinely sad when their sessions ended. We are beyond grateful for the impact Sarah has had on our son's life. If you are considering speech therapy, I cannot recommend Sarah and the Talky Tots team highly enough.

I don't think we could've traveled so peacefully without her help teaching our son independent sleep. She was also so patient with my countless questions. As someone who suffers with PPA, I was texting her all day and night.... But she was kind and always answered happily. She'll always be my go-to from now on for any sleep issues or future babies!

To say that investing in a doula was a good idea would be the understatement of a lifetime. My wife…read moreand I heard about this magical concept as if it were a fairytale idea out of our reach, a luxury item in no way meant for us. That was until we met Kathryn and One Moon Doula. They showed us how we could achieve the dream goals we had for those first precious weeks while also honoring our modest budget. Not knowing what to expect, as this was our first child, we did understand that having someone with us would change everything. We were quickly linked with a few doula interviews and fell in love with one of them. Our schedules aligned and boy did it ever change our lives. I can't imagine not having our doula there for those critical nights of transitioning into parenthood, while making space for healing and recovery. We both slept more than we ever thought possible, while our son was cared for better than we could have imagined, AND we learned so much to build a foundation of comfort and confidence moving forward. No family member or friend would have been able to step in the same way. If you have nothing else on your registry other than a fund for this...do just that. It will change your whole early parenting experience for the better. Thank you to One Moon Doula and their network of Angels.

I had such a great experience with Briana! She came to our home a few days after birth and…read moreimmediately made me feel comfortable and supported. She took her time checking baby's latch and weight, helped me understand what was going on engorgement and clogged ducts, gave me simple, realistic steps to move forward and created a personalized breastfeeding plan for me. She explained everything in a way that actually made sense and didn't make me feel overwhelmed. You can tell she truly cares about the families she works with. I left the visit feeling relieved, confident, and so much more prepared. Highly recommend her to any new mom looking for thoughtful, evidence-based lactation support.

It took a process of trial and adjustments to find the right pumping phalanges in the right size, and make micro-adjustments to baby's positioning on the boob, but Brianna was so helpful and knowledgeable every step of the way. I came out of every session with her feeling hopeful and more empowered, and I'm so happy to say: Baby and I now have the hang of this thing! (Because I was really, really ready to quit. There is no pain like breastfeeding pain. Hiring a professional to sort it out is 1000% worth it). Brianna has been a must-have for my baby team.

We've been receiving OT services from Miss Julia for a couple months now and are so happy with the…read moresupport she brings to our son. My son is always rummaging through her bag to see the type of toys she brings to session and he is always pleasantly surprised with what she brings out. Lately we have been having session out in our front courtyard so that we can have some fresh air and sun. Miss Julia always gets his body moving and exploring. His motor skills are improving tremendously and after todays session he had a nice nap after the active movement. Miss Julia always has a positive attitude coming into session and engages in a friendly manner with my 2 year old son. I'm so thankful for the San Diego Regional Center for funding these services for my developing son. I always look forward to our weekly sessions and once he ages out of Miss Julia's care we will miss her. Thanks Eat Play Love for all the love and care you show my son! We are beyond thankful for you and we recommend you to anyone looking for OT for their little one.

I am so glad that I chose Beautiful One Midwifery for my care during my first pregnancy and birth…read more Kelly, Tiffany, and Christina all gave wonderful care, took time to answer all my questions, and never pressured any decisions. I always felt informed and supported in my decisions. After a long labor and successfully delivering my baby at home, I required a hospital transfer for extensive stitching. Tiffany drove me to the hospital and stayed with me the whole time, advocating for me and providing emotional support during the procedure. The postpartum care (in my home!) has been invaluable as I have navigated these first few weeks of having a newborn. The ladies would check on me and my newborn, provide breast feeding support, and answer any questions or concerns.

I had a baby in June of 2014 and decided that having a doula for my first baby - one I hoped to…read moredeliver naturally - would be helpful. I asked a friend who is very well connected in the birthing community who she would recommend of the names Id heard and she immediately said Kelly was outstanding. I was leaning that way already - her website was so thorough and she clearly cared about being thorough and stretching to extend all of herself and the resources she had to support her clients - but also just to be a resource to anyone visiting her page which I loved. I also wanted placenta encapsulation and she was able to offer doula services as well as the placenta services - and she also teaches a birthing class which I was able to watch online - so great!! I came to realize that my biggest need was someone to talk to prior to the birth to learn about exactly what was going to happen. Also - I would find myself with free-floating anxiety. The initial meetings with Kelly and my husband and then the availability to text or chat when stress or fear hit was honestly one of the best things I got out of our Doula relationship. Kelly was so able to validate and yet present either her experience, observations, or just a way to think about giving birth that removed the fear I didn't expect to have. I ended up being induced - during the two weeks "overdue" I was especially anxious and Kelly was again a helpful calming voice. The day I went in for the induction I was terrified. She had given me a link to online meditations Id been listening to for the last month and I was able to listen to them there while the contractions started. It was the perfect way to begin labor. It was also cool to have subtle but definite encouragement to go into myself and not worry about holding conversation with the others in the room. The labor ended up being awesome - no epidural, I was stronger than I expected and Kelly was there encouraging me but not "coaching" me. As the pushing continued and it became clear that I was going to need a c-section, she was again a good counterbalance to look to as my husband and I reconciled that it was indeed the way to go. While the crash c was happening, Kelly was there talking with my husband while they waited. After the baby was delivered, Kelly was there in the room to ensure my skin on skin feeding request was granted and Im really grateful that she took photos in case I wanted them of my first moments with baby. I was still under anesthesia and everyone else there was meeting the baby and stabilizing him. I'm so grateful to have those pictures to see what I couldn't experience consciously. Kelly came over after the birth to check in and see our baby again and chat through the day. I had some residual questions about maybe had I squatted longer, I could have delivered naturally etc. Kelly was quick to share her perspective having been there and to also encourage me to get the medical records so I could see exactly how it went down. I wouldn't have thought to do this - it was really informative and reassuring to read what happened and to see that we made good choices in the heat of the moment to ensure a healthy birth. Kelly's insights and experiences were so helpful. She also gave me a great lactation resource when I struggled with breastfeeding after the c section. I couldn't do the placenta encapsulation because of the c section so I can't review that - but I can assuredly say that my experience was what I hoped for an more and I was so much more prepared and supported at every stage because of Kelly. She is a nurturer, a super knowledgable professional (I loved that she has a masters in psychology too - so well able in dealing with highly emotional situations), and just a lovely grounded purposeful woman. She is not only a part of the birthing community but she creates a community for her clients to continue to support one another as we mother. I'm so glad I found her and highly recommend.
