The Village We’re Rebuilding — One Story at a Time

“Simple Smyles made me feel less alone in the chaos. And more importantly — more like me again.”
- Nichole, GTA

“Okay but why did I feel like I was talking with two of my best friends every week?! Love the energy, love the honesty. Also, thanks for keeping it real about postpartum sweat and rage — Can't relate but I know a friend ;) !”

“I’m naturally an overthinker and was spiraling about everything — birth, recovery, feeding, even how I’d cope emotionally. This workshop gave me tools, yes, but more importantly it gave me peace of mind. I felt understood, not judged. It was the first time I actually thought, ‘Maybe I can actually do this.’”
- Lina, GTA

“I was terrified of postpartum — the emotions, the recovery, the unknowns. This workshop didn’t sugarcoat anything, but somehow I felt calmer because of that. They helped me make space for the hard stuff and reminded me I don’t have to do this alone.”
- Michelle, Kingston

"Learning about all of the things pregnancy and postpartum were really helpful and they way they presented was like hearing it from a really informed friend. But the thing I loved the most was the not talked about support - like how to apply for EI, how to open an RRSP account when your kid is born. That's what made it feel different than other prenatal workshops."

"Alba and Shannon have a really nice way of making you feel good during the session. The classes felt honest and educational at the same time. At times it even felt like they were reading my mind on any fears I had and would answer them without even knowing."

I know this is advertised as a prenatal and postnatal workshop - but honestly it felt way more like a class to set me up for success. Everything always came back to how best support the all of us. I'm honestly really happy we decided on it.

Alba and Shannon are hilarious - and throughout the sessions it felt really supportive and fun - like we were all hanging out. I especially loved talking about the small things like things no one else tells you about. 10/10 recommend. I think these girls have something really great!

This workshop really pairs well with other prenatal classes. It's not just about learning about how to take care baby and your pregnancy - it's how to take care of yourself too. Loved it.
