Charlie and I want to say how much we have appreciated your care, smiles, advice and awesomeness over the past year. Mothering Touch is the very best and most welcoming 'lily pad’ and it meant so much to have a safe and supportive place to come and hang out. I really miss not being able to pop in now that I’m back to work.

You are doing amazing things by providing support in the various ways you do at your place of business. Mothering touch is so much more than a baby store. It's been a haven during times of insecurity and isolation while embarking on the project of parenting little people. It's such a big job, being a parent, so thank you for all you do and the ongoing, continuous support you show to moms and dads.

I love Mothering Touch because it has a great pregnancy happy hour which I really enjoy. I find the advice and support I receive from the facilitator is excellent and almost like having another mother. The activities are all reasonably priced so everyone can afford them which I believe is ethical and they have a lending library and a lovely selection of stock which is beautiful in their store. It's a happy place and serves the community. Thank you so much and I tell all my friends about it.

Thank you for offering the Sibling Preparation Class. We took our two boys and it made a big difference to their understanding of what to expect. After baby arrived my 5 year old said "we should go back to big brother class to show them we have our baby now.

Thank you for the amazing prenatal class and hospital tour. I was really pleased with the content and the manner in which it was delivered. Shona is amazing. Sarah-Jane did a really nice job of our hospital tour on Monday night. Your staff are so knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate and caring. I feel confident that I have what I need to know to make decisions around the delivery of my baby. Thank you so much for this peace of mind.

Mothering Touch is the go-to place for new and expectant parents. I have logged MANY MANY hours there; I enjoyed their Pregnancy Happy Hour before my daughter was born, my husband and I had our prenatal classes with them and my daughter and I went to weeks and weeks (and months) of moms and babe groups...

This has brought us together as parents and as a family! So far it's been a great experience with amazing results. We're excited to keep going and see where it gets us." ~

"I really want to thank you for teaching us about having a birth plan and being open and ready for change. Our plan went from a natural water birth at home to finding out baby had flipped into a frank breach position at 38 weeks then going into labour on Christmas Eve and having to have an emergency C-section. I guess we got all of our cards flipped except the most important one, Healthy Baby!" Having that plan and knowing what was most important really helped us get though all of the surprise twists and turns."
