Perinatal Chats
Join us for groups that serve you where you are in your perinatal journey. Meet a cohort of parents with ba-bees of similar ages and spend an hour(ish) with them for 6 weeks. Not necessarily your typical support group (although that’s part of it!) but building community and camaraderie without comparison. Meeting with the same people every week will build trust and stronger relationships that will hopefully grow and evolve as time passes. The structure of these conversations will be informal to allow for participants to touch on topics that may have been weighing on them this week but will be facilitated by an experienced postpartum doula and infant feeding counselor if the need for structure should arise.
These groups are both FSA + HSA eligible! Also, sliding scale is also available with no questions asked (beyond how else can we support you?). Use code EARLYBEE for a discount until January 29, 2026.
Do other days or times work better for you? Let us know!
New-bee + Ba-bee Chats (0-6 mo.)
Throughout the 6 weeks, topics discussed will focus on newborns and younger babies. Although there is no formal plan, we will naturally touch on the major transition from pre-baby life to now, postpartum mental health, both the mental and invisible loads of parenting, sleep for babies and just as importantly parents, inclusive infant feeding of all types, fostering of developmental milestones without stress, other helpful support professionals, community resources, and so much more. It's understood that the early postpartum period can be messy, beautiful, stressful, chaotic, exciting--truly all the things. Please just show up as you are on that day, we're just happy to have you. This is a safe space to ask questions, share concerns, and celebrate both tiny & big wins.
Buzzy Ba-bee Chats
(6-12 mo.)
A group designed to support seasoned parents with other bee(s) at home who just added to their hive. While you’re welcome to come to other groups instead, the information, strategies and camaraderie in this group may meet your needs best. Ideally the same cohort would meet over 6 weeks either with or without toddlers and/or babies. Traditional “play places” don’t usually support families with the +/- 2 under two age gap where you can feel comfortable with your toddler playing while simultaneously bonding with your new ba-bee. The Apiary offers it all of this! We will help you either spend time with your big bee (who may be craving your 1-to-1 attention extra since a new bee has entered the villa) or do all the baby things that your new ba-bee requires. This is a low pressure space to just bee as you transition into a bigger phase of life with more moving pieces.
Ba-bee #2 (or 3, 4, 5+)

The Apiary has been lovingly created and curated for babies 0-18(ish) months. There are a plethora of props, toys, and equipment you may or may not have at home but we find positively affect baby's development and are happy to share with you. An hour of open play is built in to the price of each group as we hope you will continue to enjoy our space. You can use our resources in the common room, snuggle up on our couch with drinks+snacks we offer, or take some time in the private quiet room where you can center yourself with or without baby. Ideally you'll have the time to stroll around the harbor to drink, shop, dine, and enjoy the setting for a walk.
