Your Best Pregnancy Ever | Free Workshop
February 12, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Join us for a community workshop centered on educating, empowering, and encouraging women during pregnancy.
Pregnancy can be one of the most beautiful and empowering experiences and yet many also feel overwhelmed and lonely. Many women are looking for guidance not only to have the healthiest pregancy and newborn possible, but also to feel encouraged and supported from conception all the way through the often overlooked fourth trimester (postpartum).
Our experts at this workshop are all passionate about educating and supporting mothers to-be.
