Nest & Plan
Packages
For expectant, intended and prospective parents, to lay the groundwork for more peaceful days, nights and relationships after the baby comes. Start parenthood strong by planning ahead.
Nest & Plan — The Basics
A facilitated strategy session for you and your partner (and/or other support person) to consider the realities of time, rest, resources and good humour in the hours and weeks after your baby’s arrival.
Working with your family’s unique situation, at the end of two hours, you’ll finish with a plan to build your village, set your boundaries, call in support, and delegate responsibilities so that you can recover, get to know your baby, and preserve—and perhaps deepen—your existing relationships.
By Zoom or in person.
(Good news, Labour & Birth clients. Many elements of Nest & Plan — The Basics are included in your Labour & Birth package.)
Nest & Plan — Plus
The who, what and how of your early days home with a baby.
We begin with the same facilitated planning session offered in Nest & Plan — The Basics, then add an additional eight hours of practical in-home assistance to prepare your home and your “village” for the arrival of its newest citizen.
Time may be spent in:
Grocery shopping
Meal preparation and storage
Setting up feeding, sleep, and diaper changing stations
Unpacking baby items
Laundering baby clothes
Facilitating customized communication with friends and family to delegate tasks, encourage their helpful participation, and articulate your wishes and expectations about communications and visits during your baby’s birth and in the first days and weeks of life with your newborn.
(Current Labour & Birth clients, and prepaid Postpartum Support and Welcome Baby clients, wishing to purchase Nest & Plan — Plus will receive a 20% discount.)
