Calm & Connect CLASS

A Mindful Parenting Course to Build Confidence, Connection, and Calm

Developed in partnership with The Center for Child & Family Well-Being at the University of Washington 

Becoming a parent is one of life's most profound transformations, filled with joy, love, and often, significant challenges.
