My husband and I recently completed this course via zoom. It was great! It has helped us feel very prepared. Between the sessions, the handouts and the community. Highly recommend signing up.

My husband and I signed up for the breastfeeding webinar via zoom and I am so glad we did! The live class was a great mix of discussion, Q&A, images and videos, all helpful tools in explaining the process which is very important to me as a first-time mom. They also provided resources that we can reference once our baby arrives. I would highly recommend this class to women and couples who may be curious or hesitant about breastfeeding, you will learn so much!

I can't say enough great things about The Parent Collective! I'm due with my first baby at the end of August and feel so much more at ease after taking the series of 4 classes. Having a kind, experienced instructor walk my husband and I through everything from labor to breast feeding and newborn care was extremely helpful. I can't wait to put all of this new knowledge to use!

— Stefanie T

Fantastic people, unique idea and best prenatal classes ever!! I was super lucky to attend just before labor. Made everything less scary and I have new friends to stroll together through NYC and support each other during this challenging time. Melissa you are the best!

— Ania N

The founders, Jessica and Melissa are amazing, so down-to-earth and honestly, brilliant to have started this much needed initiative! Parenthood is much easier when you have the support of others (in your area) going through the same thing. Love everything about The Parent Collective ♥

The Parent Collective is an amazing resource for first, second, third+ time parents! Pregnancy can be such an exciting, but scary time. TPC offers classes and workshops that educate soon-to-be parents and help them form lasting friendships. We're so lucky to have this resource in our community!!

The Parent Collective was an incredible resource for us, even as second-time parents. We learned so much our classes but also formed great relationships with other expectant couples in the area--something very valuable as we had just moved here from the city. We now look forward to attending other informational sessions in the future! Fantastic company!

— Lindsay G

I highly recommend these classes for expectant parents! I felt fully prepared for what to expect and what my options were during the recent labor and delivery of our son. We had the easiest and most stress free delivery possible. I attribute this to what we learned in our TPC classes. We are using the information form the baby care classes every day, now that we are parents. I found these classes much more helpful than other classes I've taken or the books I've read.

Just plain exceptional. The Parent Collective is a fabulous forum for information sharing, learning, understanding and bonding. There is something to being a part of a local group vs. any other online forum. You learn detailed information catered to your questions from a fantastic line up of professionals all while creating lasting relationships with local couples who are in your exact situation. Highly suggest for not only first time parents, but also those looking to have their second, or third!

— Kiersten S

We attended The Parent Collective in TriBeCa. The classes, led by Courtney, were excellent and covered just the right amount of information to leave us feeling prepared as first time parents, but not so much that it was overwhelming. It was great to meet other local parents in the same group each week. We highly recommend TPC.

— Alice G

My husband and I left these workshop classes feeling much better prepared for becoming first-time parents. The anxiety of labor, delivery and infant care were all addressed- we highly recommend this class for anyone expecting a child!

— Amelia F

I took their breastfeeding class on zoom and the instructor gave us lots of tips and tricks that I hadn’t read in any of my reference books. Definitely worth your time if you’re expecting or had trouble breastfeeding with your first child.

— Rebecca R

Melissa and Jessica have created a program for everyone -- both new and seasoned moms will benefit from the information and the support of other parents taking classes. Facilitators are experienced and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this course!

— Melissa G

A fantastic company run by two brilliant women. What a great way for couples to participate in classes together! There is so much to learn, and why not do it in a relaxed, comfortable environment where you can meet others in the same position. The parent collective provides so much information and support whether it is your 1st, 2nd or 3rd child. I highly recommend these courses!

— Meryl B

We really enjoyed the classes held in Greenwich, Ct. We learned lots and met some nice people. Having recently relocated from the UK it was great to find a pre-natal group like this as an alternative to NCT. Thanks to all at TPC!

— Beth G

What a great way to help new parents and form a community!! Anyone who ever had a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (!) baby knows how many questions we all have... the parent collective not only gives you answers but helps create a long lasting community to grow with your family. Great idea and great people!!!!!!!!

— Kathryn M

These women know what they are doing! Their classes are not only informative and helpful but allow you to connect with others that are experiencing the exact same things. Highly recommend!!

“I had a wonderful experience in my time with Jessica. She is a very gifted coach. After our first session, where I felt like I had just rambled non sequitur for an hour or more, she sent me an email and I was blown away about how she was able to really hear what I was saying and distill that information then present it to me with clarity I don’t think I would have seen on my own. And being heard that clearly and understood was really a valuable and validating experience.

Our sessions after that consisted of more time getting to specific goals and ways to work around blocks to those goals. She really challenged ideas I had about how I felt things had to be done and was able to show me options that might be more successful. I don’t think I realized how inside of my own box I had been approaching things and her perspective helped me see that and make changes.

The entire time she was really working with me and finding personalized ways to support me. I appreciate that it was an experience that felt very curated for my needs. I have left our sessions feeling a renewed sense of being in charge of my challenges. I am truly grateful for that.”

— Carey, Mom

“Working with Jessica as a coach was critical to help me turn the ideas that were churning in my head into a working reality. As a coach, she helped me become ‘unstuck’ and stay focused on the work I needed to do every week to be successful. Jessica made it fun and her coaching support kept me accountable to my goals-I recommend her highly!”

— Lindsay, Founder of a start-up

“I went into my coaching sessions with Jessica so overwhelmed that I didn’t even know where to begin. She started off by asking me questions that helped me prioritize my needs so that we could spend time focusing on one thing at a time.

Finding ways to take breaks to calm my own mind and body so I can be a happier parent was so good for me, and allowed me to start putting her suggestions into practice immediately. We also looked at everything on my plate, why I was feeling so overwhelmed as a working mom, and started working through tools to help simplify my life so that everything is still getting done, but I’m less stressed and have more time to be present.

With baby #2 on the way, I’m excited to reach out again once we’ve started getting into a new routine as a family of 4 to continue working on ways to make sure I’m taking care of myself so I can be the version of me that I want to be for my family. Thanks Jessica!”
