Why Bundled Services?
"If I've learned anything in the last 20 years, it's that families need MORE. More education, more support structures, more community, and more preparation for the major life transitions that surround birth. Through bundled services we are able to give our clients the best foundation for their entrance into parenthood. I hope this becomes a model of standard care for all families."Sarah Paksima, Owner
