ATTENDING YOUR ONLINE WORKSHOP:
This course will be led online via Zoom Conferencing. A link to join the class will be emailed to you an hour before the start time. |
Important key learnings you will walk away from the workshop with:
- An understanding of typical newborn behaviours and a plan on how to best cope with the integration of a new baby into the family.
- Practical tips on how to prepare their home for the new baby.
- Understanding of various options for sleep arrangements, feeding, and infant care that will fit with the different needs of different families.
Pregnancy is a time busy with preparations and celebrations for your upcoming birth, but it can also offer you the chance to reflect on your life once your new little one has arrived! In this workshop we will pick up where most prenatal classes leave off. You will be encouraged as you learn more about infants and their needs, and reflect on both your excitement and worries as you approach the birth of your baby. This workshop is perfect for expecting parents, grandparents and other caregivers.
Class will be extraordinary, offering new parents practical preparation, and powerful processes, dialogue and art. The workshop will have the latest research, and personal growth processes to help them fully participate transition into parenthood as rite of passage.
Tiny babies in arms are welcome to accompany parents. :)

Workshop Instructor: Adrienne Cote
Hi and welcome! So great to meet you, my name is Adrienne and I am a Holistic Nutritionist, Doula and Birth Educator. That’s a lot of jobs right? Are you wondering “What does all that mean?”
Well, it means that I offer a variety of holistic services to support your health and wellness such as; nutrition counselling sessions, meal planning, postpartum Doula services, birth education classes and wellness workshops.
Because I have an extensive background, my natural focus as a Holistic Nutritionist tends to be on reproductive and postpartum health.
MY BACKGROUND
I have worked with pregnant people and families in varying roles for many, many years. I started as a Counselor within a non-profit agency working with at-risk pregnant and parenting young women. From my incredibly fulfilling work there, I learned the importance of prenatal and postpartum health care and support, especially for those who are vulnerable. That job led me on my journey to train as a Doula, Birth Educator and later on as a Holistic Nutritionist. I try to bring that energy, compassion and commitment to my clients into my current practice.
MY PHILOSOPHY
When we work together it is in a 100% JUDGEMENT FREE zone. I am truly committed to supporting your choices and want our time together to be as enjoyable as humanly possible!
