A strong earthy, deep-rooted loving red to represent the parents, and a fresh, soft new-born green to represent the young children (the subtle sage green of Kamloops hills). The red leaves of the logo are the parents: a couple, a mother (pregnant as shown by the 'bump' on the leaf) and a single parent. The children are between them and together the entire Kamloops “family' is centred/grounded by one focal point—family living and unity. As a team they present an exuberant yet simple flower... which speaks to a harmonious life and what true beauty really is all about—our relationships with eachother. The logo also evokes a sense of movement... the action and activity of a family in motion, “doing' things together.

This post is brought to you by Tiny Blessings Prenatal.  Amy and Tara are two local childbirth educators, committed to supporting pregnant women in Kamloops.

 

As a childbirth educator I see a variety of responses to childbirth: fear, excitement, anxiety, and always lots of questions. I am going to share with you some tips to help you move from fear to confidence in your ability to give birth. I cannot teach it all in this short blurb, but I will give you a taste of how you can gain skills to embrace labor as a doorway into the lifelong challenge: parenting. + READ MORE


Tiny Blessings Prenatal is a prenatal education program, in Kamloops, run by two great ladies – Amy and Tara.  Here is a little bit more about them and a fantastic giveaway, too!

We offer interactive, prenatal education focusing on coping in late pregnancy, labor and delivery, breastfeeding, and newborn care. We combine group activity, self work, couple activity, lecture, videos, and hand-on activity to enrich the class time.  There are two programs of prenatal courses available to parents with a tiny blessing on the way.

The five week course will allow for a more in-depth discussion of the topics. We will have more hands on activities and flexibility of topics covered in detail. Or, due date just around the corner?

The one-day course is great for parents who do not have time to attend a five week session, or 2nd time parents wanting a refresher. It will cover all the same topics but with a little less opportunity for hand-on activities.  As an added bonus- a car seat inspection and installation assessment is done by certified inspector is included with registration.

Not only will families leave feeling more confident in their ability to give birth, they will meet other families starting the same journey! Come to learn some tools for coping for birth and baby. Welcome you to the next step to your very own “Tiny Blessing,” because these blessings come in small packages.”

Some feedback from past clients:

“We learned much more than we thought we would”

“…it was a very comfortable setting”
“I feel very thankful that my wife found your classes and enrolled us”
“This class was excellent in giving mom and dad key things to focus on to make labour easier. I also really liked the breastfeeding class, really informative”
“My partner now has some tools to use during labour to calm and distract me, I got a lot out of going over things we may not have discussed prior to baby’s arrival”
“I feel more confident going into the delivery room as a support partner and a father to be”
“The agenda was great and class interaction was excellent, you really followed up with our questions, Great job”
“I feel more confident about the whole experience of giving birth. I am very happy we took this class because I know my partner has learned a lot and will know what to expect”
“The c-section demo was very useful”
“I wish I had gotten my butt in gear sooner and had time to book the 5 week class!  Definitely feel more comfortable with labour”
