Here are some of our favorite and trusted resources for pregnant folks & new parents many - many of whom we have turned to personally in our own parenting journey. Most are located in the Triangle area in North Carolina, but some are national or international.
We make an effort to only recommend providers who value providing patient-centered, equity of care.
Are you a perinatal professional who is interested in being a part of our Recommended Resources?
Please send us a message at erin@wholemamayoga.com with information about your work & any relevant links.
