It truly takes a village to raise a child, but many parents today don’t have a village to lean on. Modern life and technology isolate us more and more, and new parents especially feel alone. Parenthood brings with it many questions, whether you are having your first or fifth baby! Birth options, infant feeding choices, postpartum recovery, potty training - the list goes on!

At It Takes a Village, we can help you find answers to questions like, “What IS normal? What are ALL my options?” We have one-on-one meetings, group classes, online resources, and a network of knowledgeable providers. Whatever your questions, we can help.
