Description

Research indicates that around two-thirds of parents experience a significant drop in relationship satisfaction within the first three years after the birth of a child. 

This workshop's goal is to support new and soon-to-be parents to maintain a fulfilling and resilient relationship during this critical time. 

Backed by decades of research from the Gottman Institute, Bringing Baby Home sessions are filled with:

  • Information about relationships and infant development
  • Thought-provoking exercises
  • Opportunities to strengthen your relationship and communication 

Join us to learn how to strengthen the connection between parents to create a loving and harmonious environment for your growing family!
