Introducing Nest Tummy Talks: Support for Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Early Parenthood

Becoming a parent comes with a lot of questions and moments that can feel overwhelming. How do I know if what I'm feeling is normal? Who can I actually talk to? Where do I go when I need both answers and community?

A lot of us at Nest Designs have been there. That’s why we design for real family life. Not just the quiet moments, but the in-between ones when you are figuring things out as you go.

The Nest Wellness Studio was designed exactly for that. Nest Tummy Talks is a weekly space for those questions, conversations, and moments of support.

The Nest Wellness Studio is a dedicated space for pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood support, located above our West 4th store.

It was created to offer something many parents are quietly looking for. A place to slow down, ask questions, and feel supported without pressure.

The studio is home to a growing schedule of classes and expert-led sessions covering everything from yoga and gentle postpartum movement to parent-and-baby connection classes and monthly workshops with trusted specialists. Every offering is designed to give families the support, guidance, and community they deserve, all in one place.

Whether you arrive with questions or simply want to listen, the space is designed to meet you where you are.

Nest Tummy Talks is a weekly in-person session for parents and parents-to-be, held every Thursday at our West 4th location in Vancouver.

Each session is led by trusted professionals, from naturopathic doctors to registered nurses and lactation counsellors, covering topics that matter in the early stages of family life.

You will leave with:

• Practical guidance you can apply right away
• A clearer understanding of your body and your baby
• Reassurance that what you are experiencing is shared and supported

Each session is 60 minutes, and babies are always welcome. Because early parenthood is not just about learning to do, it’s about feeling supported while you do it.

​​This is a conversation that doesn't happen enough, and Dr. Sisam brings both the clinical expertise and the compassion to make it feel accessible.

New and expecting parents are navigating a lot.  Often, without the village that previous generations could count on. Prenatal and postpartum support is fragmented, expensive, or hard to find. And even when good resources exist, they can feel clinical or isolating.

We wanted to do something different. The Nest Wellness Studio is our answer to that gap: a community space rooted in trust, warmth, and the belief that parents deserve ongoing support, not just a single prenatal class and a discharge pamphlet.

Nest Tummy Talks is just one piece of the studio's programming. We also offer yoga, Nest & Play sessions for moms and babies, and our Nest Collective monthly workshops.
