Parenting Counseling

Sessions are held, by appointment, at the offices of Seventh Moon ~ Perinatal Support Services. Phone consultations are also available. The theoretical background is based in attachment parenting. Sessions are conducted with individuals, couples or as a family. Children, toddlers and babies are always welcome to attend sessions.
