OC Moms Connect

I was referred to Eileen in the summer of 2013 for support after my first daughter was born, and am partly only writing this review now because I knew it would take some time to really do her/​it justice. I simply do not have enough words to convey how amazing it has been to have found Eileen and she has stayed in our lives for subsequent classes and even our 2^nd baby! The new baby group/​class was a LIFE-​SAVER. I cannot imagine going those early months without her support, pearls of wisdom, perspective. It made those early months much more positive.
Eileen is extremely knowledgeable (and keeps up with the latest research) and professional yet equally caring, warm, funny, and articulate (she always knows the right thing to say– love that!). This is who you want in your corner for that extra support, education, community. Even my husband loves her!
Eileen is the best and I will be forever grateful to her for sharing her care for and talents with us. All the best~

It really does take a village to raise a child and I knew I needed the support of a mom group when my son was born. Eileen’s group is the best thing I did for myself and for my little one! I dreaded leaving the house with a newborn, but I always looked forward to seeing this group of women every week because of their support and understanding. Eileen is an amazing mother and educator who is passionate about sharing her knowledge and helping new moms. I am forever grateful for her insight and care– it went well beyond anything you could read in a book. I cannot recommend this group enough!

OC Moms Connect was the singe best thing I did as a new mom (of twins)! Having other moms to talk to and relate to in those beginning months was so incredibly nice and made me feel more sane. Eileen’s knowledge and delivery of information related to child development is second to none, and she really is an expert in everything baby-​related. I always felt supported, and learned so many wonderful tips from Eileen and the other moms. I learned so much in the new mom’s group, and could not wait to come back for the «older baby/​toddler» group. Learning what to expect made me so much more confident as a parent, and I would recommend OC Moms Connect for every new mom as well as mothers of toddlers. It was also great to meet other moms in OC with children the same age!

If you can only spend money on one class or group, this is the one to choose! Eileen is an amazing teacher and she makes you feel relaxed and welcome from the very first moment. This class combines both socialization with other new moms with children the same age as your own, and education about your child’s development, relevant to their current age. I’ve now taken two of Eileen’s classes, and the connections that I’ve made with the other mamas have turned into lasting friendships. These classes also help to reduce so much of the anxiety that you have as a new mom because Eileen is there to explain all the research on every topic you can think of and guide you to make the decision that is right for you and your family. Best. Class. Ever!!!

As a first time Mother I had so many questions, from sleep to breast feeding to starting solids, and just «is this normal?», or «what do I do about _​_​_​?» questions. Eileen always seemed to have the answers. The best part about OC moms is meeting other mothers with children of similar ages and sharing the steps, stages, advice, and making friends. A three month and a one year old are just worlds apart, so it’s great to meet other moms with children within just a few months of each other. It makes hanging out that much more easier and fun because the kids are on the same level, and moms can talk about the same challenges they are going through together. I highly recommend this group for any new mother who needs advice and /​or if you are looking to meet moms with children the same age as your child.
