Our purpose at Becoming Maternity and Parenting Centre is twofold: first, we are dedicated to the creation of a supportive and welcoming environment offering expectant and new parents the latest, research-based information on all aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, adoption and parenting. Second, we are equally committed to providing our clients access to a network of friends and neighbours all of whom are experiencing the joys and the burdens of parenthood.

As we set about creating a series of classes, seminars, support groups and counselling services intended to bring our goal to life, we decided to adopt the name Becoming. We have noted above that this word has two distinct meanings, and we believe the Becoming Maternity and Parenting Centre concept embodies both of these elements. Pregnancy, childbirth, adoption and parenting are among the most transformative of our experiences, reflecting change and evolution in the most positive sense. Moreover, as any parent will tell you, these experiences, while challenging, can be as beautiful and rewarding as anything we may know.

Our classes, seminars and counselling offerings are designed to inform and empower expectant parents and new families during every stage of pregnancy, childbirth, adoption and early parenthood. Furthermore, our support groups and drop-in seminars are intended to provide parents with a community of new friends, sharing and supporting one another through the triumphs, frustrations, challenges and rewards of pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood.
