Embrace Beginnings
Step confidently into motherhood
An online program designed for new or expecting mothers
Whether you’re expecting or already navigating those first few weeks with your baby, you’ve probably realized something… no one really prepares you for the transition.
The first few months can feel beautiful and overwhelming.
The sleepless nights.
The feeding questions.
The constant wondering: Is my baby developing the way they should?
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Embrace Beginnings was created to give you confidence, clarity, and support as you approach motherhood.
Inside this program, we cover
Understanding your baby’s cues & responsive parenting
Newborn Care
Feeding support - breast, bottle, and starting solids
Building attachment and sensory regulation
Play-based activities that support development
What milestones to look for next
Maternal mental health & building your village
But more than that, this program is a space for support.
A place to ask questions beyond pregnancy & childbirth
To build confidence in the transition into motherhood
To connect with other moms who are in it with you - a reminder you are not alone

What People Are Saying
-
Becoming a new parent comes with an overwhelming amount of information, and it can be difficult to know what’s actually important to focus on. This course gave me a solid starting point and helped me feel more prepared and confident as I adjusted to the new reality of parenting.
—New Mom
-
Embrace Beginnings was a wonderful resource for me as a first time mom. It was very accessible both from cost and location (virtual) standpoints, and the small group setting made it comfortable to ask questions and receive personalized attention and feedback. As a professional who also works with children, I thought Ellyn was very knowledgeable and really enjoyed hearing her perspective as a pediatric OT. I would recommend this course to any first time parent!
— Expecting Mama
-
Ellyn is very knowledgeable and the course information was highly applicable, without being “information overload”. I felt I got exactly what I needed!
