Connect™, A Mothers
Group
Support and Education
during the First Year
Group Facilitator: Tina Millican,
Postpartum Doula • New Parent Consultant
Location: The Parsonage, Kenmore
(very close to Juanita, Kirkland and Bothell)
Connect™ exists because new mom’s need a place to feel
nurtured and supported. They need to brainstorm ideas, get reliable information
and to know there are other women facing similar challenges, decisions and
struggles. Adding a child to the family is not a simple process. There are
significant postpartum adjustments for both parents, but especially for the
mother. Our goal is to make the transition and journey into motherhood a
joyful and peaceful experience. Come
join other women as they share their discoveries, concerns and individual
insight into this exciting journey of motherhood.
