See how peaceful this baby looks?  His parents may have completed the Bringing Baby Home Program.  Research shows that babies of parents who completed the program were less fussy and their mom's suffered less postpartum depression.

About the Program

Parenting is much harder than people often think.  Soon I will be offering a series of three classes from the Bringing Baby Home Program.  Each class will be approximately two hours.  You can attend just one, two, or all three.  As a whole, the  classes aim to help couples:

• Improve their understanding of how their relationship might change as they become parents
• Build a stronger foundation for baby to thrive in by strengthening communication and conflict regulation skills 
• Experience the joy of taking a team approach to raising baby and learning how children benefit from parents who have a solid relationship
  

For a list of Frequently Asked Questions about the program, click on the link.  Please note, I will not be offering the entire 12-hour workshop at this time.  I am offering the three classes listed to the left.  The classes are all designed by the Relationship Research Institute and based on Dr. Gottman's research.

Classes are usually offered by Dr. Szporn.  Occasionally, she may be joined by her colleague, Dr. Helena Mackenzie.  Both doctors  successfully completed the training to become Certified Gottman Educators.  Learn more about Dr. Mackenzie here.
