Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat

I recently attended an infant CPR/choking class and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The instructor, Katie, was incredibly knowledgeable and conveyed life-saving information in a clear, concise, and engaging manner. The hands-on practice sessions were invaluable, allowing us to build confidence in our ability to respond to emergencies. The class was well-organized, informative, and left me feeling empowered and prepared. I highly recommend this class to all parents, caregivers, and anyone who spends time with infants. It's an essential investment in safety and peace of mind.

We’ve now done two sessions of 4T at home—baby wearing and infant CPR/choking. As a first time mom, I cannot begin to explain the peace of mind/confidence it has given me to work with Katie. I was super nervous to baby wear and mess up my daughter’s hips (lol FTM problems), but Katie went through everything and adjusted my husband and my carriers and gave me the confidence to wear her and get my hands back. By the end of the session, my daughter was snoozing and i was able to get things done! Katie came back to do CPR and choking. What was great about it was that for most classes you have to pay per person, so for each parent and caretaker. Katie was able to come to our home, so we were able to get our babysitter trained along with us, which was awesome. Just love everything 4T is about. Moms need more support and we just love that a place like 4T is in the area. Megan and Katie are the best and have gone above and beyond to make us feel supported—even helping me with my registry before i was even a client. We are so so grateful for them!

I love 4T! Katie and Megan came to my home (super convenient) to meet my 2 month old and me. Katie adjusted our breastfeeding positions for more comfortable and quicker feeding sessions. They also demonstrated several options for baby-wearing. I literally put away my baby carriers the morning before 4T came because they weren't comfortable to use, and now we use them every day! As a new mom, you're doing the best you can but you don't know what you don't know. There were so many pointers 4T had in areas that I didn't even know could be improved. Highly recommend!

Katie is awesome! She's incredibly knowledgeable and takes extra time and care when working with us. Regardless of the question, Katie always has an answer, be it a direct response or a resource to learn more. It's clear that Katie is very passionate about her work and has a deep understanding of the field. She helped us curate our registry by not only filling in the gaps we left, but also helped us to understand why certain items were better than others. I highly recommend Katie and hope to continue utilizing her excellent services in the future!

As soon as I heard about Fourth Trimester, I signed up immediately for postnatal care for my second-born. Every mother can definitely benefit from this. The staff was exceptional and so was the food. I absolutely loved the spa and was grateful for the special care and attention to detail. Their response time to your requests were also superb. Love love love Katie, Megan and Fran! 10/10 rating in terms of having all my postnatal needs met. Worth every penny!

As a first-time expectant mother, ensuring that our family + soon-to-be grandparents felt confident and prepared to welcome our new arrival into the family was a top priority for me. That's why I enrolled all of them in The Fourth Trimester's "Art of Grandparenting Course," and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. All of the grandparents-to-be attended the course last weekend, and their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. With none of them having cared for an infant in decades, they were all amazed at how much has changed since they last experienced parenthood. The program not only brought them up to speed on modern practices but also provided valuable insights into diapering, swaddling, safety issues, and so much more. The interactive nature of the course was particularly appreciated by all, allowing them to ask questions and seek clarifications on various topics. Katie and Frances, the hosts, were incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, creating an environment where everyone felt comfortable learning and engaging. Knowing that all of the grandparents-to-be now feel much more prepared and confident in their roles is a tremendous relief for me as an expectant mother. I wholeheartedly recommend The Fourth Trimester's programs to any first-time expecting grandparents seeking to update their skills and knowledge for the newest addition to the family. Thank you, Katie and Frances, for providing such an invaluable resource for families like ours. Rachel + Conor

My wife and I were fortunate enough to spend three nights with the team at 4th Trimester Postnatal Retreat right after welcoming our first child. Becoming a parent is transformational, and yet the level of care and guidance offered to new parents in the United States is truly abysmal. 4T rectifies this issue by providing education, support, comfort, and care to help the transition into parenthood flow more smoothly. I am certain that without our time with 4T, we would be FLAILING with all that comes with new parenthood. While at the retreat, we enjoyed three nutritious meals a day, 1:1 educational content around CPR, baby wearing, and lactation, a mental health/therapy session, infant care specialists who cared for our baby over night so we could rest, and more. We came into the retreat feeling very overwhelmed and exhausted, and left feeling prepared and hopeful for the next steps in our parenthood journey. Not only that, but we have continued access to the amazing team for any questions we may have as we grow into parenthood. I truly cannot thank the team enough for the time and dedication and everything they put into this experience for us. Plainly put: Every birthing person should have this level of postpartum care. 4T is exceptional. I would HIGHLY recommend it to any and everyone welcoming a new baby.

During an unimaginably challenging period, Fourth Trimester Retreat demonstrated unparalleled empathy and support. When we reached out to them on behalf of friend who suffered a heartbreaking stillbirth, the team at Fourth Trimester Retreat went above and beyond. They responded with heartfelt understanding, providing a comprehensive list of local resources and even sending flowers to express their condolences. Weeks later, they extended their support once more with a thoughtful care package. Their compassion and genuine care during such a devastating time speak volumes about the character of this company.
