Because it is pure joy for us to see your baby thriving at their first-week appointment, we want to support you from the very start. The seemingly countless critical parenting decisions to make early on can feel overwhelming! At GMP, we want to relieve you of that stress and are here to support you with plenty of research and resources to help guide you in your parenting journey. From breastfeeding, co-sleeping, or understanding immunizations, to the challenges of negative behaviors and understanding the social and emotional growth of your child, we are here to walk alongside you. As you will discover, we believe nature is the best foundation to build from when seeking answers about your child’s health. What is natural, comes from nature and we believe connecting to nature is the most efficient and effective path to health and vitality.
After the newborn period, toddlerhood and early childhood are equally as important to their future health and well-being, Parenting can get stressful around these times as the child is learning his/her independence.

Through triumphs and tears we know the maturation of your child into adulthood can ultimately be a source of real joy for everyone involved.
