Welcome!

This is the registration for the 3-hour Newborn and Postpartum Mini Course with Lauren Bates and Taylor LoGrasso.

Bringing home your baby can feel both overwhelming and exciting. Between caring for yourself, tending to older children or pets, and adjusting to your newborn, it’s easy to feel like you’re merely surviving. The good news is you don’t have to navigate this period alone or unequipped.

This 3-hour class is to prepare you physically, mentally, and emotionally for the tender transition from birth to postpartum. Learn the essentials of newborn care—feeding, diapering, soothing, and effective sleep shaping practices — while receiving gentle guidance and a holistic perspective for navigating the postpartum recovery period.

Join experienced postpartum doulas Lauren Bates, with a Master's in Nursing Education, and Taylor LoGrasso, with a traditional Ayurvedic background, as they blend Western science with Eastern wisdom for honoring the fourth trimester. Whether you’re a first-time parent or looking for a refresher, you’ll leave with practical skills, helpful resources, and plenty of reassurance for the early weeks at home.

Open to all birthing people and partners. Babies in arms welcome!
