The staff has changed since my daughter attended, but the classes are still very enjoyable and worth it. Ms. Nicole leads Rock It Baby and she's wonderful. I highly highly recommend Over the Moon for both baby and toddler classes. One thing to address from my last review. I mentioned my daughter was at a different development stage than the peers she attended classes with. At age 4 my daughter was diagnosed Autistic. Seeing the difference between her and other kids her age is what set us on the path to getting a neuropsych evaluation for her. I really appreciate that Over the Moon gave us the opportunity to see our daughter interact with her peers. I was a first time parent and it was just after the first COVID wave so I didn't realize my daughter was missing milestones. Today, my daughter is 6 and thriving. Mainstreamed for Kindergarten and extremely talkative.

My kids have both attended the mixed ages class that includes kids from infants/young toddlers through preschoolers. The classes all have the same routine (song, parachute etc) with an activity for the kids and parent discussion topic that changes weekly. With both of my kids their TLC class has really been one of the most anticipated activities of the week. They have definitely learned new songs and vocabulary from the classes but, more importantly, they practice things like patience, turn-taking etc. in a environment that is warm and engaging. Also it is very clean which gives peace of mind (especially in the winter months with cold and flu)

I cannot say enough about the amazing support my family received from the night nurses at Naps. I…read moredon't think we would've survived the newborn stage without them. While this was not a cheap investment, you truly get what you pay for with the level of care and service the team provides. I was pretty nervous about having people in the house with COVID, but the nurses were so understanding and willing to take a covid test upon arriving to our home. They always checked in to see how I was doing as a new mom and helped me troubleshoot challenges I might be having with my baby. They worked on extending my daughter's sleep so she started sleeping longer and longer stretches on the nights they did not help us. If my daughter was ready to go in the morning before I was, I would come downstairs to the nurses loving on her. They did little things to provide extra help (without me even asking) like preparing all of our bottles for the next day. The days we knew they were coming, we'd have a total sense of calm in the house all day.  The entire family enjoyed having them, even our dog wanted to be downstairs to visit. In addition to the support from the nurses who came overnight, we had access to regular calls with Ellen, who is an NP. She is a baby whisper and sleep guru. I credit the nurses and Ellen for my daughter being an amazing sleeper. If I am fortunate enough to expand my family, there is no doubt I will be calling the Naps nurses again for help. I highly recommend Naps for their night nurse services, new moms groups, baby bootcamp and online membership.

It is not information you just get out of a text book- it's information from someone with true experience with her own kids and she is a delivery nurse.

One of the best parts about her classes is that in the end you gain a resource as Karen welcomes you to call or text her in the future with anything. I will likely take another class or attend the Mommy group and we want to gift the grandparents class to our parents. Thanks Karen!!

A month later I receive a call from Carly saying she verified my insurance would I like an appt. I asked why it took so long to hear back she said I was on a waitlist (now I know the real reason- Carly dripped the ball)but after searching for other counselors and having limited options I agreed to be seen. While on the phone I confirm address and inquire about the person I'm seeing not in the website- Carly didn't respond and just confirmed the address. I go to the address and it's the wrong address. Since it was already 7pm in the evening and I knew dealing with Carly was a chore I didn't bother looking up another address/location. Carly calls 2 weeks later leaving me a voicemail if I still wanted to be seen, if not they would discard my chart- great message! I called back still interested but Carly's attitude sucked so that was the end of that.

Informative, empowering, respectful, approachable, individual, caring, encouraging. But, at this point I've had my baby. I had a natural (no epi, no pitosin, etc..) birth at a major hospital. It was an amazing experience (seriously) and I owe that in large part to Zina's teaching and guidance. This is how Zina's classes helped: 1. My husband and I had learned what was happening at different stages of the birth process, and could make informed decisions once we got to the hospital, we didn't feel like we were being told what to do and instead were an active part of the decision-making process. 2. I felt confident and excited, instead of apprehensive and scared (if left to my own devices, I'd just feel scared). This made such a difference. 3. Probably the biggest difference was that when the time came, my husband and I were a team. It's natural for a partner to want to help, but oftentimes it's hard to know how, especially with how birth is portrayed in movies. Zina's class gave us a 'toolkit,' and having those options and ideas at the ready for when you don't really have time to think was key.

She is exactly who you want to have in your village when you're navigating the first hectic days, weeks, and months at home with a newborn. She is a wealth of information but doesn't give unsolicited advice. She is reliable and an excellent communicator. She goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable, and you will quickly learn that your baby is in the best hands (besides your own) while Martha is providing overnight care.

She's also perfectly happy to hold the baby while you shower or do errands. I was beyond impressed by the breadth and depth of her knowledge about babies and "mom life" in general. I couldn't have gotten through the postpartum period so successfully without her. Do yourself (or your daughter, daughter-in-law, sister, granddaughter, friend, etc.) a huge favor and hire Martha as your postpartum doula. You will be calmer, better-rested, and a more confident mom because of her!

I don't have much of a support system aside from him and as a first time mom, support is what you need! Danni was a lifesaver. She did chores (laundry, dishes, organizing obscene amounts of hand me downs) but was also someone I felt 100% comfortable with to take care of my daughter when I went to doctor's appointments or just to get out and get a breather. (Babies are HARD!) Danni was a great sounding board and never judged. I thought I had PPD but Danni, having experience with many Moms, explained to me how to determine whether it was truly PPD or baby blues and the overwhelmed feeling that comes with being a new Mom (to your first or 30th child!) but she never shrugged my feelings off and let me talk through my feelings/concerns, she heard me and made me feel confident and successful as a mother. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for support and have told my husband time and again to consider her as he takes over full time parenting for the remainder of the year when I go back to work.
