For new moms who want to find joy amid the chaos of early parenthood and a supportive community to rely on when the going gets tough, Mommy Connections offers a place for you and your babe to learn, laugh and connect with others in a meaningful way.
Over the course of 10 years, we’ve built a village of thousands, one mom at a time, and dedicated ourselves to making motherhood a little more manageable – and a lot more fun – through weekly classes, baby-friendly events and expert advice on topics that matter.
Gillian lives in Toronto, Ontario with her family. A former actress, children’s not-for-profit program manager and fundraiser, outdoor education instructor and elementary teacher – she is also the proud mom of two children, ages 8 and 4. While on maternity leave from her job as an elementary teacher, she took over the Mommy Connections Midtown Toronto chapter in 2021 after being a participant. The experience and challenges (and isolation!) being on mat leave with an infant during Covid AND homeschooling her then 4 year old, left her determined to help moms in the community ‘find their mom squad’ and enjoy their mat leave to the fullest and build for themselves a village of support.
As Mommy Connections Midtown Toronto’s enthusiastic director, Gillian leads a supportive and inclusive community offering weekly classes for hundreds of Moms (and some Dads!) in the Midtown Toronto area. Gillian works hard to ensure that participants in her community are made aware of the many amazing resources and professionals specifically tailored to Moms (new and experienced) and their babies. From music programs, post-natal fitness, sleep consultants, maternal mental health, pelvic health, paediatric physio and even managing mat leave finances – the 6-8 week sessions are jam packed with the best names and resources in the new parent space.
“Mommy Connections is a fabulous resource to connect you with services and activities in your community, but above all, it is about connecting you with other moms who you can share the highs and lows of motherhood with.”
