Coffee & Convos
We'll be bringing in guest speakers and learning about important topics related to motherhood and maternal mental health.
Bring your littles with you! There will be a LEGO table and sensory bins by Learn With Dom Kits for kids to play with. This is a free event and no rsvp is needed.
Please note, due to illness or personal reasons there may be last minute changes in guest speakers or topics. We try to update our website and Instagram as often as possible.
