Community. Education. Support.

Our mission is to enhance maternal wellness by facilitating community and education for families.

The health crises facing birthing families in Elkhart county require action now.

Indiana is ranked #3 in the Country for Maternal Mortality as of 2022, and local rates are even more alarming. Nest & Grow Co. is determined to improve these outcomes one family at a time.

Creating Change in Maternal Health

  • Reducing Maternal & Infant Mortality

    We are committed to improving maternal and infant health by increasing access to education and local resources. By equipping parents with knowledge and support, we can help create safer birth experiences and healthier beginnings.

  • Supporting Parental Mental Health

    Mental health disorders among parents are alarmingly high. At Nest & Grow Co., we foster community connections that empower parents and families to thrive, reducing isolation and promoting overall well-being.

  • Preventing Birth Trauma

    Birth trauma has lasting effects on mental health and family dynamics. By offering education for parents and support for birth professionals, we strive to lower birth trauma rates, ensuring more positive birth experiences in our community.

✅ Hosting our first Maternal Wellness Summit

✅ Raising funds through events and grants to grow our reach

Our vision is a thriving community where every mother, baby, and family in Northern Indiana has access to the support, education, and resources they need to experience wellness and fulfillment.

“I found the mom support group at the perfect time in my postpartum journey. I had found out through word of mouth when my son was about 6 months old after searching for months for a place I so desperately needed. We live far away from any family or friends so it was a very lonely time for me as a brand new mom. I am so thankful to Emily and Jayde for creating a safe, welcoming, educational, and fun environment for not only myself, but my son. Through talking with other women at the group, I have been able to share the highs and lows in the journey of motherhood. We always look forward to our "play group" time!” -SR
