Wondering if your baby is sleeping "normally?"

Not sure what's typical for your baby's age and what's not?

Feeling overwhelmed by all the conflicting parenting advice online?

Wouldn't it be nice to ask all those middle-of-the-night parenting questions in a judgment-free space?

The Seedling is for you and meets again next week!

The Seedling: New Parent Support Group meets on the 2nd & 4th Thursdays of the month, 10am–12pm at The Grove at Wollemi Counseling (24500 Center Ridge Rd., Suite 279, Westlake).

This is a soft place to land in the first year of parenthood — a mix of education, connection, and emotional support as you navigate infant development, sleep, feeding, and caregiving, alongside the identity and relationship shifts that come with this season.

Facilitated by Lisa Falkenstein, newborn care expert with Nurtured Foundation.

You don't need to have it figured out. Confident, overwhelmed, exhausted, hopeful — come as you are. Compassion over perfection, community over comparison, growth at your own pace.

All caregivers and family structures welcome. If you're parenting a baby in that first year, this space is for you.

💬 Comment or DM us with questions, or just show up.

✨ Join Us at The Grove This Week ✨

Whether you're navigating the early days of parenting or simply craving a moment to reconnect with yourself, we'd love to welcome you this week.

🌱 The Seedling Circle
Led by infant care specialist Lisa Falkenstein of Nurtured Foundation, this free support group is a space for parents to ask questions, find encouragement, and gain evidence-based guidance on infant care. From sleep and feeding to developmental milestones and everyday challenges, no question is too small. Come connect with other parents who truly understand this season.

🌿 Mindful Mamas
Motherhood asks so much of us, and our culture often tells us our worth is measured by how much we accomplish. This Saturday, we'll explore what it means to reconnect with rest as a form of care rather than something that has to be earned. Together we'll practice slowing down, reflect on the pressures of constant productivity, and make space for the kind of rest that nourishes both our bodies and minds.

💚 Both gatherings are welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free. We'd love to have you join us.

🎶💛 Play, Connect, and Grow Together! 💛🎶

Join us at The Grove for a special Music, Movement & Sensory Play experience designed for little ones and their caregivers!

We'll begin with a brief, engaging discussion led by Rachel Bowers, MSSA, LISW-S, PMH-C, therapist and owner of Wollemi Counseling, exploring how play helps build secure attachment, emotional connection, and healthy development in young children. You'll leave with simple, practical ways to strengthen connection through everyday moments of play.

Then, get ready to sing, dance, move, and explore with Miss Michelle of Care for Kids! Through music, movement, rhythm, and sensory experiences, children will have opportunities to build coordination, creativity, confidence, and social-emotional skills—all while having fun alongside their favorite grown-up.

✨ Learn about the power of play
🎵 Enjoy interactive music and movement activities
🌈 Explore sensory-rich experiences
💞 Strengthen your connection with your child
😊 Meet and connect with other local families

Whether you're looking for a fun outing or hoping to learn more about supporting your child's development, this class offers a wonderful opportunity to nurture both learning and connection.
