This is more Bay Area related….Have you been to Small Talk Family Cafe in Walnut Creek?
I haven’t stopped by yet, but please let me know your thoughts. I’m always looking for new places to recommend to families in my classes.

6 week mom’s group for new and second time moms starting June 17th in Rockridge! Facilitated by a licensed MFT, the group provides community, support and information to aid you in this momentous life transition. Email rainedougan@gmail.com or check www.oaklandmom2mom.com for more information.
I’m reaching out as I am leading a team for Climb Out of Darkness 2014. It is a walk to raise awareness and funds for Postpartum Progress and support maternal mental health. My deep hope is to also build some local community and even start a peer support group with other moms in the area.
The Berkeley Climb is on Saturday, June 21st at 9:30 am, Inspiration Point in Tilden Park (more details TBA- the trail is stroller friendly).
Participants DO NOT have to fundraise to be a part of it. As a mom who struggles with PPD/PPA, I understand that sometimes it is hard enough to get out the door, never mind asking other folks for money while you do it! Raising money for this wonderful organization is great — getting connection and support is even better!

*Tuesdays 1:30-3pm*
*April 29th-June 3rd*
This is a facilitated support group for new moms and their babies -(usually
babies rage in age from 2 weeks to 4 months). *Tuesdays April 29th-June 3rd
from 1:30-3:00 *we will gather at the BirthWays space to take some time to
give back to yourself and share the intensity and joys of new motherhood
with other moms.
This 6 week series will cover such topics as: sharing birth stories,
finding time to heal your body and mind, feeding your baby, adjusting to
your new identity as a parent, trusting yourself enough to know when not to
listen to another piece of “good” advice, navigating changing relationships
with partners and friends, going out with your baby, preparing to go back
to work or stay home with baby, sleep… what sleep? And most importantly,
realizing that you are not alone in this journey.
For a lot of moms this is an opportunity to practice getting out of the
house and feeding and caring for your babies in public in a safe space.
Brooke on Yelp says this: “I took a Birthways new mom class that started
when my son was just two weeks old. It was such an amazing experience to be
with about 12 or so other new moms going through the same things I was
going through. I learned a lot about breastfeeding, sleeping issues,
massage, and much more for my son, but also self-care for me. It’s been
three years and our group still keeps in touch. I feel a deep connection to
those kids, too. When I see those little guys at the Y or around town I
think back to those early sleep-deprived days and actually miss it.
Birthways is such a great supportive environment. Highly recommended!!”
