BRINGING BABY HOME
Having A Baby Changes Everything.
One of those changes is straining the adult relationship, but you can do something to help.
If you are excited about having a baby, but don't want parenting to put a negative emotional wedge between you and your partner, there are research- based strategies that you can implement, to stay connected.

"As part of our anniversary Elisabeth and I review the year and we each do a 'high-low-high' from the past year. We both agreed that our weekend with you and the 'Bringing Baby Home' class was a true highlight of the year. It was probably the best thing we've done for our relationship since our pre-marital counseling."

Relationship & Emotion Coaching
Personalized coaching sessions to jumpstart connection in your relationship. Life's too short to get bogged down with squabbles and negativity. Coaching can help shift differences between you and your partner into caring conversations.
Each session is a blend of motivational questioning to uncover your goals, education where needed, problem solving, validation of your efforts, and celebration of your success.
Don’t let parenthood bog down your relationship!
A note from your relationship doula, Amity Kramer.
I have been offering Bringing Baby Home workshops since 2008.
I see the struggles that new families face in our changing world. Having a baby is life changing and can have a huge impact on your relationship.
In fact, the majority of couples report a significant dip in relationship satisfaction within one year of welcoming a baby. Yikes. No one wants to dislike their partner.
Parenting is a wonderful and hard adjustment, and fighting with each other makes everything worse!
This class will give you and your partner relationship tools, and time to practice, so that you can face life as a supportive team. Babies are always welcome to attend with parents.
You can't afford to miss this class.
Repairing a broken relationship is costly in so many ways. Your family deserves all the goodness that comes out of building belonging. Don't miss this opportunity to learn researched-based strategies to improve your relationship.
We offer scholarships to families who need them. Please inquire if that would allow you to attend.
Thank you for reading,
Amity
