BRINGING BABY HOME GOTTMAN WORKSHOP

A weekend that strengthens your relationship before baby—and supports you after.

Parenting shouldn’t create a rift between you and your partner. In this research-based workshop, you’ll learn practical tools to protect your friendship, communicate clearly, and co-parent as a true team—while also supporting your baby’s development.

Who This Is For

Expecting couples, new parents, or anyone considering parenthood with a child under age 3. First baby or fifth—if you want rituals of connection that last a lifetime, this is for you. Pre-crawling babies are welcome.

When should we take it?

You can take Bringing Baby Home before, during, or after pregnancy. Many couples prefer the second trimester—energy is higher and it’s easier to practice the tools before baby arrives.
