The parent circle
A weekly group for pregnant people and parents of babies, in Spanish and English.
Johana leads a small group that meets for ninety minutes each week, in the evening. We move between Spanish and English, and nobody is asked to translate for anyone. Babies in arms come along, and a feed or a nap is part of the evening. The circle is for talking, not for being taught: people bring what the week was like and listen to each other.

How it works
Who it is for
Pregnant people and parents of babies, in any kind of family. The person who gave birth and the parent at home are both welcome.
What it is not
It is not a class and not a replacement for individual therapy. What is said in the circle stays there, and we ask everyone to keep it that way.
The first night
You can come once to see how it feels before you decide. Many people only listen the first time.
How it is paid
You pay for each night yourself, and we give you a receipt for your plan. The fee is given to you in writing before you start.

Questions about this service
Do I have to talk?
No. You can listen as long as you like.
What if I speak only Spanish, or only English?
That is fine. Johana keeps both languages in the room and makes sure that what is said in one is understood in the other.
Can my partner come?
The circle is for the person who gave birth or the parent at home. Partners have their own sessions with Rodney.
Would you like to join?
