Baby + Me Group

building community for new parents

 
 
 
 

weekly 90-minute group experience

The early days of parenthood can feel isolating and overwhelming. This is especially true if you are newer to the area, don’t have trusted family close by, or are the first in your friend group to enter parenthood. We all need networks of support during this tender time.

Join our Baby + Me Group, a warm and supportive space designed to help you connect with other parents, share experiences, and gain insights as you bond with your baby.

About the Group

This group is built around the understanding that the newborn phase is as beautiful as it is demanding. Over the course of six-week cohorts, we’ll explore consistent themes that matter most to new parents, including parenthood pressures, your identity as a new parent, sleep, play, feeding, changing relationships, and other topics that would feel supportive.

Whether you’re looking for guidance, connection, or simply a safe space with listening ears, our Baby + Me Group is here to meet you where you are.

Meet Your Facilitator

The Baby + Me Group is facilitated by Erica Penner, a mother, certified coach, and facilitator who understands firsthand the joys and challenges of the newborn phase. Erica created this group as a missing link for something she was craving when she was a new mom 2 years ago. She brings warmth and an open heart to every session, creating a safe space for parents to share, learn, and grow together. Tapped into the local (and digital) birth worker and postpartum community, she loves sharing resources with the understanding that participants can take what resonates and leaves what doesn’t.

Flexible and Accessible

Each cohort runs for six weeks, but we understand that life with a newborn is unpredictable. That’s why we offer both flexibility and continuity:

  • Drop-In Sessions: Join us for a single session if that’s what works for you.

  • Ongoing Participation: Continue into the next cohort to deepen your connections and explore new themes as your baby grows.
