We know that life with a baby is unpredictable. Illness, sleepless nights, and last-minute curveballs are all part of the deal. ParentLab is designed with that reality in mind, and we aim to be as understanding as possible while keeping our small-scale events sustainable.

• You may cancel your booking for a full refund up to 48 hours before the event.

• After that point, we’re unfortunately not able to offer refunds for cancellations or missed events.

• If you’re unable to attend a event, you’re very welcome to pass your spot on to another parent.

• It may be possible to request a creditfor a future event, depending on the specifics. Just reach out and we’ll figure something out!

• You are always welcome to come late or leave early. These sessions are long enough to settle in, so please don’t stress about a last-minute diaper change that delays your arrival.

Thank you for understanding. This policy allows us to fairly compensate facilitators and venues while continuing to offer thoughtful, baby-friendly programming.

Each session blends a short, accessible introduction to key ideas with time for reflection and discussion. You can expect a mix of listening, thoughtful prompts, and both full group and small group deep dives.

Everything is designed with parents in mind: you’re free to step in and out, tend to your baby, or simply listen if that’s all you have capacity for that day.

Group sizes are intentionally small.

This helps create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere while still allowing space for different levels of participation. Sharing is always optional.

Totally flexible, and entirely up to you.
Your baby can be barely sentient or fully on the move, as long as you feel comfortable. Our spaces are baby-friendly, and facilitators are happy to lend a hand if you ever need a minute (baby holding is a perk of the job!).

You’re also very welcome to come without your baby. These sessions are focused on parents, first and foremost.

We hope you leave with:

• New language for experiences you’ve been having but hadn’t named

• Greater awareness of patterns, roles, or emotional reactions

• A sense of permission to hold complexity without judgment

• Connection with other parents navigating similar questions

There’s no pressure to change anything about yourself, just an invitation to notice and understand a little more.

No. These sessions are educational and reflective, not therapeutic.
They don’t involve diagnosis, treatment, or personal problem-solving, and they’re not a substitute for therapy.

The focus is on learning, awareness, and shared human experience, not fixing or performing.
