Baby-friendly centre
Podlings Naturally Childish invites local family-focused businesses, practitioners and organizations to share their knowledge with families across the Valley through clinics, workshops and special events at the new Podlings Natural Resource Center.
The Natural Resource Center, set to open in early 2010, is a warm, welcoming space where new parents will be able to come, weigh their babies, nurse and consult a midwife, doula or lactation consultant.
There also will be clinics on everything from acupuncture for pregnancy to informed choices about vaccinations as well as pre- and post-natal yoga, massage and more.
“We want people to have a safe, comfortable space where they aren’t judged,” said Sherry Turnbull who co-owns Podlngs along with Kristina Jespersen, both local mom entrepreneurs. “In this space, parents or parents-to-be can learn about options for everything from hypnobirth to cloth diapering.“
With that in mind, Turnbull and Jespersen are now offering the space — about 800 square feet along Cliffe Avenue at Mansfield Drive in Courtenay — for hourly rental. The centre has a facilitator who schedules and sets up for events, making use of the space simple and versatile.
As the centre evolves, a wide range of resources including a lending and services library that businesses can contribute to will be available as well.
Businesses and organizations interested in learning more about the Podlings Natural Resource Center or seeing the space should contact Turnbull by e-mail podlings@telus.net, by phone at 250-334-3483 or drop by Podlings at #140-2270 Cliffe Ave. in Courtenay.
