LATEST NEWS
We are transitioning nicely to our new space and have had some very positive feedback. Moms with crawlers and toddlers seem to especially appreciate the room and when the weather warms up the outdoor space will be a nice bonus.
In case you didn't already know it, Albuquerque is a great place in which to be pregnant and have a baby! Need proof? Our fair city made the Top 10 in Fit Pregnancy Magazine's study of Top Places To Have a Baby. The study ranked cities by affordability; birth risk and health factors; breastfeeding; birthing options and more. For more details, read here.
Finally, we are adding another infant sign language series and there are still openings in the next birth class. Join Erika for her highly praised birth preparation classes and see what all the fuss is about!

Weekend Sign2Speak Workshop
Interested in infant sign language but can't attend a Monday class? Grab dad, grandma or the babysitter and join us for a weekend session at the end of February or in March. When exactly? Well, we're trying to accommodate as many as possible. So if you are sincerely interested and Saturday, March 15 or most Sundays are available, contact Amylee ASAP! We're trying to finalize a date and times right now.
The one hour intro and the follow-up workshop will both be scheduled for the same day, so come learn the basics or dive into lots of vocabulary, fun and games - or both!
Intro to Doula Work
Love working with birthing moms? Are you an advocate of empowered birth? This Saturday at 11:30am, join Erika to learn more about becoming and being a doula and if doula work might be a good match for you!
Spots Available in Next Inspired Birth Class Series
The next series begins March 20. These classes are like no other. Join Erika for a small, personal and inspiring class that is truly unmatched. Contact us for more information and to reserve your spot NOW!
