Support and Connection for parents like you

Studies prove that parents significantly benefit from groups, not only because they build relationships, but also because they feel empowered to share their insight with others and learn so much from their peers. 

WITH HAVEN GROUPS, YOU WILL FIND

A place to connect with other parents, while also developing tools to help you thrive.

At Haven, we believe so strongly in the power of connection because it has played such an important role in our experience as a mom. Nothing compares to the comfort you feel when you get a late-night text from another tired mom awake at 2 am. Those messages of validation and commiseration are a lifeline that make a big impact. The feeling that you are not alone is something we believe no parent should be without. 

That's why we created Haven Groups. With her training as a Clinical Social Worker, Jessica offers a nurturing space for members and ensures a non judgemental and supportive environment. Whether you’re joining us to learn how to beat bedtime battles with your three-year-old or hoping to meet some new mom friends, let us be your new parenting....Haven.

Haven Monthly Sleep Coaching Groups

For Parents with Children Ages 6 Months- 4 Years
*each group will focus on a specific age range

BYOC!!! That means Bring Your Own Coffee! And who doesn’t need a strong cup of coffee when your little one has kept you up all night? Pull up a chair in your comfy clothes while we tackle the new kind of all-nighters you never knew would be quite so hard. 
 
For one month you will receive dedicated support from Jessica in a supportive virtual group setting. You will work with Jessica as your sleep coach to help teach your child healthy sleep habits and implement a sleep plan to accomplish you goals. She will share with you all her valuable expertise she offers her one on one clients, but in a group setting. Plus, you will get to connect with other parents going through sleep challenges with similarly aged kids! Learn from each other while you implement your sleep plan and lean on one another when the challenges set in.

JOIN US IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU:

- You want a structured, step-by-step plan that helps you meet your goals and is realistic for your family

 - You like to set goals and want to get this sleep coaching thing over and done with!

 - You want to connect with other parents going through sleep challenges with kids around the same age

 - You want to learn from other parent’s experiences and share ideas (and commiserate because who doesn’t need a little empathy?)

- You want to work with a Certified Sleep Coach who is dedicated to helping your family find a solution for all your sleep issues


**Monthly groups are not a good fit for children who have underlying medical issues or other concerns that may complicate sleep coaching. If you aren’t sure if your child is a good fit for the group email Jessica to ask.

for Businesses

Are you a business owner or human resources director who employs parents of young children? Did you know that when your employees are tired they are less likely to be productive or miss work completely? Many parents of young children go to work the next morning exhausted due to a baby or toddler who kept them up all night. We can help. 

Let Haven create a workshop for your employees so they can create well-rested homes and become well-rested employees. Jessica will meet with you to discuss your goals and then create a workshop tailored to your employees specific needs. The Haven mission will be at the forefront, with each family taking part in the workshop having their own unique solution with a customized plan to get their child’s sleep issues under control.

faq

In 2011 Jessica’s first baby was six months old and wasn’t what people might describe as an “easy baby.” (P.S. What is an easy baby anyways? That question makes us crazy!) Reaching out to other moms with “spirited” babies provided invaluable support during a time that was very emotional for Jessica. To this day, she says that those connections with other moms was the most important thing that got her through these challenging times. The idea to start a virtual mom’s group came to her one day when a breastfeeding baby girl was latched on to her as usual. That’s when mamaSpace was born. 

The mission of mamaSpace is to provide a safe space for moms that is non judgemental while offering support and community. The group has grown over the past ten years to 28k members! The power of a community of moms is hard to describe until you experience it for yourself. The personal stories that have been shared with Jessica over the years about how mamaSpace has impacted member's lives are truly remarkable. It has been one of the greatest gifts to watch the community grow and we hope that you will take a moment to take a look at what mamaSpace has to offer and consider joining yourself.
