about our company

Parenthood is hard - from prenatal appointments and pregnancy, birth, the first few weeks postpartum, to their first day of school and beyond. Add in social media, with the myriad of myths, misinformation, and mom (and dad) shaming, and it's a miracle anyone is able to make it through it. And yet, we do...because we're parents! We know it's hard before we set foot out of bed every morning, yet we make it happen with a smile on our face and love in our hearts, because our children are our entire world and they deserve the best.

These are the challenges that parents face every day. But at Little Bee Wellness, we believe being educated and prepared is being informed. All educational classes are taught with a holistic, anthropologic, evidence-based approach, focusing on the child-parent relationship, and attached, responsive parenting.

We do not believe in sleep training. We instead believe and teach responsive parenting that nurtures both the parent and infant's natural insticts and needs - what our babies, and parents, expect and thrive with. As many parents who we've worked with tell us, "it's what feels right." If you are looking for classes, education, or consultation on sleep training techniques, we are not the place for you, and will not tolerate any argument for sleep training, separation, or isolation. Please also note, we support every family; we do not discriminate, judge, or compare, and do not tolerate any form of discrimination, hate, or belittling at any class, event, support group, or social media forum. Every parent deserves to feel safe to ask questions, learn, and become informed as they make the best choices for their families and unique situation. We provide support and education for breastfeeding and formula feeding families alike. We know and understand that not every family can or even wants to breastfeed. How a family feeds their infant is their choice, and we have no doubt that every family we support is making the very best decisions for their family. We are here to support every step of their parenting journey. ❤
