Sex and Intimacy during pregnancy and postpartum
Pregnancy and Postpartum are times of unparalleled transition which can impact sex, intimacy and relationships. Are you worried about sex during pregnancy or after birth? Does sex feel different to how it felt before? Are you experiencing more body consciousness? Are you feeling too tired, anxious or touched out? Are you experiencing differences in your sex drive? Are leaky or tender breasts making sex uncomfortable? In this class we discuss all this and more. As a Somatic Sex Educator I offer a safe space for an open, supportive dialogue in service to helping you express and resolve both emotional and physical impediments to intimacy.

IN-PERSON at JCC - RED SERIES - Baby Sign Language Playgroup
Apr 1, 2023 - May 6, 2023

Stop guessing what your baby is trying to tell you and start spending more time fulfilling your child's specific needs. Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to communicate with children long before babies can verbalize their wants and needs. Research studies show that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration and aggressive behavior, and as children mature, results in a greater interest in reading. Out of all the wonderful benefits of baby sign language, the most important benefit of all is that signing will greatly deepen the bond between you and your child.

 

This 6-week series class is a fun opportunity for you to build your signing vocabulary with themes like mealtime, animals, colors, family, bedtime, and more! We've split 18 sessions into three different six-day series named after the primary colors: Red, Yellow, and Blue. No need to take them in order. Just dive in and start learning now.

Our Introductory Workshop is recommended prior to taking a playgroup series unless you are already familiar with American Sign Language (ASL).

New 2020 Themes ~ RED, YELLOW, BLUE
In the past we've offered two Playgroup Series named Boom and Zoom. Parents have been asking us to add a third series for years. So, ....drum roll.... In 2020 we are thrilled to announce that we are expanding our program and offering three different playgroup series.

RED SERIES (Similar to our old Boom Series) 
Day #1 Magic 7* Signs plus Mealtime Red
Day #2 Colors and Clothing
Day #3 Animals on the Farm
Day #4 Bathtime Signs
Day #5 Weather Signs
Day #6 Family Signs and Series Review
