Coffee Walk + Talk is back September 18!

If you’ve seen these posts before and thought, “I should go to that sometime…” this is your sign. Come!

Coffee Walk + Talk is a casual, easy-paced community walk followed by coffee at Brewtus. Everyone is welcome. You do not need to be a Fern patient, you don’t need to know anyone, and you absolutely do not need to bring someone with you.

Come alone. Bring a friend. Bring your baby or kiddo. Bring a stroller. The whole point is simply to get outside, move our bodies and spend some time connecting with other humans.

A note about accessibility: I know the entrance onto the Rail Trail near Brewtus is a little rough. If that’s a barrier for anyone joining us, we can take a slightly longer loop that keeps us on solid ground.

We’ll walk at an easy, conversational pace for about 45 minutes and then head to Brewtus around 1:00. Not interested in the walk? Meet us for coffee!

Friday, September 18
12–2 PM
Meet at Brewtus Roasting
Walk around 12:00
Brewtus around 1:00

No registration. No awkward networking. No need to be a patient. Just walking, coffee and community.

Who’s coming?

Had such an amazing group today! It was full of toddlers and kiddos. We had bikes, scooters, push wagons and several little ones on backs, including napping ones!

Then back at the coffee shop, two pregnant mamas. One a regular Coffee Walker and another brand-new mama who got support and love from all of us seasoned mamas.

I love that this group has grown over the last two+ years into what each of us needs.

It started as a way to get new parents on parental leave and caregivers of babies together and out walking, because it’s so hard to meet new people in those first few months when you can feel so alone and isolated.

Then those babies got older. Our littles grew, we brought more with us along the way, and the group grew right alongside us.

And now there’s a new generation of Coffee Walkers seeking company and care from those of us who have been through the trenches.

So I want to remind you: this group is for mamas, daddies, all parents, nannies, grandmas, grandpas, pregnant individuals. This group is for everyone.

And no matter what you need that day—keeping your toddler occupied, listening to stories, asking questions about pregnancy, birth or feeding your baby, or bawling your eyes out because you feel lost and overwhelmed—you belong here.

However you show up, whatever you need, this group is here for you. And we’ll fight for you, too.

When you feel like you have no light left, no joy, no bravery, you can borrow a little of that from each of us.

Your knee isn’t always the problem.

One of the most overlooked muscles around the knee is the popliteus, a small rotator that helps stabilize and unlock the knee. When the hip isn’t controlling rotation well and the movement chain collapses, the knee ends up taking more rotational force than it should. The popliteus is left hanging on for dear life to help stabilize the joint, and it gets cranky.

I find this muscle is commonly overlooked, even by physical therapists. I see it all the time with knee pain and especially in younger, more active people after total knee replacement.

To perform this release, place a lacrosse ball behind your knee while in quadruped and gently sit your hips back. Besides releasing the tissue, this position also provides a gentle gapping mobilization to the front of the knee, which can feel great for some people with patellofemoral pain.

Then slowly work your way down into the calf to release trigger points. It’s much easier than trying to balance your body on a foam roller while holding yourself up with your arms.

Use gentle pressure. The back of the knee is a sensitive area, so don’t force it. If you have significant swelling, a recent injury or surgery, a history of blood clots, or unexplained calf pain, this technique isn’t appropriate.

Save this one for the next time your knee or calf is feeling tight. Sometimes the forgotten muscles are the ones making the biggest difference.

☕️ Coffee Walk & Talk 🌿

Come join us for a relaxed afternoon of coffee (or tea), conversation, and community!

Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, parenting little ones, trying to conceive, or simply looking to connect with other local families and birth professionals, we’d love to have you. No agenda, no pressure—just fresh air, movement, and good company.

📅 Friday, August 14
⏰ 12:00–2:00 PM (come for all or part of the time!)
📍 Brewtus Roasting
20 Hallwood Rd, Delmar, NY

We’ll spend a little time getting everyone settled and chatting before heading out for an easy-paced ~45-minute walk on the rail trail.

Not up for walking? No problem! We’ll be back at Brewtus around 1:00 PM, so you’re welcome to meet us there for coffee and conversation instead.

Bring a stroller, baby carrier, friend, or just yourself—we’d love to see you!

Tag someone who should join us! 🤍

July’s Coffee Walk & Talk!

Such a gorgeous day! This group was full of older kiddos and all on various wheels! Most of whom needed a little assistance toward the end of the adventure.

There was kiddo bonding, parent conversation, a steady walking speed and some good bye tears.

I continue to be so grateful to be able to hold this space for you all and watch not only your cute squishy little bundles grow into spicy independent toddlers but also to walk along your side as you navigate change, progress, pain, growth and loss in your own lives.

So much love to you all including, again, the incredible staff at Brewtus who really know how to show up for their community.💚☕🌿

Fern Merch is Here! 🌿

I have been SO excited to share these!

I wanted pieces that were high quality, comfortable, and made with sustainability in mind.

🖤 Beanies: The North Face, made with 100% recycled fabric
🌿 T-Shirts: Stanley/Stella, made from 100% organic combed ring-spun cotton (they are incredibly soft!)

A huge thank you to Rob Sawyer and the amazing team at Sawyer’s Screen Printing & Embroidery. They absolutely knocked it out of the park, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

If you’d like one, send me a DM and I’ll let you know what’s available, sizing, and pricing.

📍 Local pickup only.

Thank you all for supporting Fern and this little dream of mine. Every bit of support means more than you know. 💚
