Meet the Team

Meet Our Director:

Sarah Landry

OWNER & OPERATOR / DIRECTOR:

“Hello, Cape Breton! My name is Sarah, and I am thrilled to be a part of Mommy Connections in a whole new way as program director, helping make your parenting journeys a little bit better. I have been a teacher since 2009, but the birth of my daughter in 2014 saw my career take a drastic pivot from the classroom. I now support perinatal families through prenatal education and birth support as a certified childbirth educator, birth doula, and infant massage instructor for my own birth business: Belle Vie Birth & Baby. I genuinely love anything and everything to do with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

The concept of building your village is so aligned with what I already do. Connection and community are my goals in everything I do as a teacher, as an entrepreneur, and as a mother. I want families to feel welcomed, respected, heard, and supported, no matter how they parent.

My journey to Mommy Connections has truly come full circle: starting as a regular program presenter back in 2017 (with my newborn son in tow), then quickly becoming a long-time participant, to facilitating classes, and now being lucky enough to step in as program director. The difference between my two postpartum experiences is very much highlighted by how I had Mommy Connections the second time. Not only did it give me a reason to get out and socialize each week, but the friends I made through the program are still a part of my life—and my son’s.

Cape Breton has always been the home of my heart. Whether you’ve grown up here or have been transplanted, I want you to feel welcome as you create connections and build your village!”

Meet Our Facilitators:

Kaitlyn Reid

PROGRAM FACILITATOR

“My name is Kaitlyn Reid, I’m a mom of 3 who was born and raised in Cape Breton.

I’ve been working with families in some capacity since 2015 when I worked in children’s mental health and then moving onto youth work for the Department of Community Services since 2017. Since the birth of my daughter, I decided to follow a path of working with families newly postpartum as a postpartum doula and lactation counselor. It was my own journey with birth trauma, postpartum mental illness, and breastfeeding challenges that lead me here. I hope to further my services for new families as I enter my final year in a social work degree.

When the position of facilitator for mommy connections popped up it felt like a natural addition to my life as I love spending my time with new families. I’m so excited to begin this new role and connect with more wonderful families on the island!”

Stacie Primeau

PROGRAM FACILITATOR

“Hello moms, dads, and caregivers! I’m Stacie Primeau, and it is no accident that I’m a Facilitator with Mommy Connections Cape Breton even though I only moved here in April! The second I got here I was messaging Sarah to see if she needed volunteers for stroller socials, and the rest is history. I remember from when I had my first baby that community is so important for getting through that first year and beyond, so I wasted no time in getting involved in mommy events when my family and I moved here from Ontario.

I’m a Music Theatre graduate, so acting, singing, and theatre are a big part of my life. Once I had my 2 children, I really felt a pull to get involved with moms and babies. I started The Songbird Studio, and have launched baby and toddler music classes. I love exploring how music can help parents to bond with baby, help them express themselves, and how music can be a tool in helping to regulate our emotions!

I’m excited to meet more families through Mommy Connections, and get to know Cape Breton too!”

“Whether you’re looking for advice or just to commiserate about the sleepless nights, I’d highly recommend Mommy Connections!”
