Offerings & Resources

Support for parents and caregivers.

Personalized consultations and small-group sessions.

Consultations

Every family has its own rhythm, and sometimes a little extra support can make all the difference. Our director, Donna, offers consultations on a case-by-case basis for parents who would like more personalized guidance.

These sessions are a chance to talk through your questions, share what’s on your mind, and explore strategies that fit your child and your family. Together, you’ll look at ways to support your child’s development, encourage independence, and bring more ease and connection into daily life.

Donna’s role in these conversations is to listen, offer insight, and help you feel confident as you navigate the early years with your child.

Group Sessions

Parenting can feel lighter when you share the journey with others. In addition to individual sessions, Donna may meet with small groups of parents who want to learn and reflect together.

These group conversations are a chance to connect with other families, exchange ideas, and explore practical ways to support your children. With Donna’s guidance, parents can learn from one another’s experiences, discover fresh perspectives, and feel supported in a caring community.

If you’re interested in consultations, please reach out to Donna to discuss availability and scheduling.

"If we give children enough space and possibilities for free movement, they will move as beautifully and gracefully as animals: nimbly, simply, confidently and naturally"
