COMMUNE is a networking event for perinatal professionals in the North SF Bay Area to elevate perinatal care practices.
“Communication leads to community. . .to understanding, intimacy, and mutual valuing.”
COMMUNE is a finely curated professional forum where perinatal professionals build gratifying, lasting, collabortive relationships. It’s time for the North Bay to reach out across professional lines to inspire, co-create, and support each other in the tireless work we are doing for new families!
When perinatal professionals create a seamless network of qualified care families will no longer fall through the cracks and suffer the repercussions, instead they thrive. So we gather. Not just for ourselves but for the better of the families we serve.
From my heart to yours, I truly hope to see you there!
