MEET The Owners

B.S Family Studies/Human Development , M.S Social Problem/Social Policy Certified CPR/AED/First Aid Instructor, CIMI (Certified infant massage instructor.)

HI! My name is Kat and I am a mother of 3 crazy little creatures who I love to travel with.

I met my husband Ben in Amsterdam while finishing up my Masters degree and aupairing for a family over there. Children and families have always been a passion of mine and that hasn’t changed to this day.

After settling down in the East bay, where I was born and raised, I couldn’t think of anything better than bringing educational services to local families. I myself needed theses services during my transition into motherhood and was saddened by the lack thereof.

Family is everything to me, and every client I work with becomes family. I hope we get to meet in one of my in person classes that I teach here at Little Seeds and if not feel free to say hi when you are out and about in the community! It takes a village and I hope you find your here with us.

OTR/L, MOT (Masters in Occupational Therapy) Certified Holistic Sleep Coach

Hi, I’m Lauren! Mama to 2 little girls and wife to James.

I’ve lived in the Walnut Creek area for 20 years and have worked as an Occupational Therapist (OT) for 11 years and after leaving work to be home with my girls a few years ago, I earned a certification as a Baby Led Sleep & Wellbeing Specialist and have supported families as a Holistic Sleep Coach for the past 3 years. My passion for supporting families, specifically mothers, has grown tremendously and I've recently expanded my work to include facilitating mom & baby groups and supporting mothers through postpartum coaching. 

I've always wanted to be a mother, and after the birth of my first daughter, I had so many questions-- was I doing everything right, is she sleeping ok, is something wrong with her, why does my body feel like this?? But no one was talking about these things and I didn't know who to go to. The mom & baby group I was part of was so big, with such watered down information that it didn't feel helpful. I felt so alone.

After talking with and listening to so many mothers, I realized I wasn't the only one. So, I combined my knowledge, expertise and experience as an OT and sleep coach to create this mom & baby group; basically the group I wish I had.

It's no secret that mothers need more support, and I'm honored and thrilled to step into that space.
