Happy holidays and a very happy New Year to you and your beautiful family! And a heartfelt thank you for being a part of our Family Ways family.

We had an amazing 2019, and we are honored to have been a part of your family's story during this exciting last year of the decade! In addition to serving over 200 families this year, we have also expanded our service offerings in response to growing demand, and adjusted our packages to better meet your needs. And more exciting growth is on the horizon in 2020, that we can continue to support you as your family grows!

Read below for some of our exciting 2019 accomplishments, and a sneak peek at what's in store for 2020:

Highlights of 2019:

• We have redefined our philosophy to better articulate the ways in which we support the families we serve.

• We have expanded our offerings to include more comprehensive lactation services and antepartum support.

• We have introduced professional workshops through Evidence Based Birth®, for L&D nurses and other birth professionals.

• We have expanded community outreach and activism in response to emerging reports of racist incidents at a local area hospital, to improve the birth landscape for all families.

• We have brought on several new team members to help meet growing demand: welcome to Chantae', Colette, Feyishara, Jayne, Shay, Samantha, and Tarina!!
  

We're looking ahead to more exciting growth in the upcoming Roaring 20s!

Coming in 2020:

• We are excited to begin offering Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Classes! These classes incorporate the best, most up-to-date EBB materials in a blended online and in-person format. The first class begins in February!

• We will be expanding our membership offerings to include 3-, 6-, and 9-month memberships, with free access to our drop-ins and discounts on workshops and classes.

• We will continue our outreach, advocacy, and activism efforts, striving to make empowered, patient-directed birth more accessible to more families.

• As a bonus, we will be offering parent coaching later in 2020. Stay tuned for more details, or contact Rachel now at rachel@family-ways.com to get a jumpstart on scheduling!

We are deeply grateful to each family we serve, and we thank you for allowing us to support your family through this beautiful moment in your journey. Best wishes to all for a very happy New Year, and a strong and healthy start to 2020!!
