Yoga Mama Co-op
Community Resources
After working with mamas in Marin County for over a decade collectively between the three of us, we have heard loads of reviews and recommendations about service providers that mamas benefit from. So we wanted to offer that list here for you. May you be fully resourced and seek the support you deserve as you navigate the most demanding job of all.
If you're a service provider and would like to be featured here, please send us an email!

Lactation Consultant
Marie Morrow Wright
My practice is about bringing calm, comfort and ease to your baby feeding journey. So much emphasis is placed on the birthing experience but what about when you arrive home and are navigating life? I help families with whatever goals they have in feeding their infant- from the first days to weaning. I provide home visits during off hours, as well as FaceTime help during the times when it’s needed, since breastfeeding issues can arrive at all times.
