PREGNANCY + POSTPARTUM RESOURCES
HAVING A BABY? Here are some of my favorite resources to help you every step of the way. I know there is a ton of information out there, and not all of it can be trusted. Below you will find my library of free MamaBear PDF guides featuring some of the key topics that my clients often wonder about.

Community Resources for Pregnancy and Postpartum
When I was a new Mama, I had no idea what services were able to me. I’ve curated the following pregnancy and postpartum resources based on my personal experience with them. I have either used their services/products or have had the pleasure of working with them and meeting them. Many of them are Mamas themselves, so they understand the challenges new Mamas face.
I want to give a special shout out to Colleen Byrne at Movement is Therapy and Kelly Macinnes at Coast Therapy for getting my back healthy. I injured it years ago at work and if it wasn’t for these talented ladies, I would not be able to function.

I have used all of these products and I can not say enough good things about each and every one of these amazing companies. What I love is that all of these products are non-toxic, natural and made my local Mamas. Mamas, you are going to love using them. As an added bonus, all of these products are in my goodie bags that I give to my prenatal, breastfeeding and postpartum Mamas.
I love supporting local businesses, especially those run by Mompreneurs (insert heart)
