Story Behind Our Logo

Our logo is a depiction of honeycomb symbol with a bee. It captures the essence of newly emerged motherhood and the journey of nurturing a new life. Bees, symbols of divine femininity and fertility, reflect the beauty and strength of new mothers. The honeycomb structure itself resembles the oxytocin molecule, the “love hormone” vital for bonding and breastfeeding. Honey, like colostrum—the nutrient-rich, thick, golden early milk—nourishes new life. The hive represents the support and dedication required to nurture a family postpartum; it truly takes a hive. And just as bees support the environment and community through their work pollinating the plants around us, we are here to help families thrive and create a lasting, positive impact in the world around them.

What Our Clients Say

Dr. Haggerty came to the house to check on our newest grandbaby. Dr. Haggerty spent a considerable amount of time with the new parents examining, teaching and patiently answering all of their questions. Her exam was both gentle and professional. As an RN and childbirth educator (and also grandmother of 8), I was very impressed. What an amazing service, especially during these troublesome times to get all this right at our dining room table. Back to Dr.’s house calls!

JH (mother-in-law)

Dr. Hardy saved my breastfeeding journey. My babe did not want to drink at the breast, and didn’t until she was three months old. She is now almost ten months old and EBF. Dr. Hardy never gave up on us, she saw me last minute, gave me encouragement, worked with me through low supply issues, exclusively pumping during the first few months, and gave me so many different ideas to try. I cannot recommend her enough. She is amazing.

SS (new mother)

Dr. Haggerty helped me a lot during my pregnancy answering questions and offering advice, so I was really glad when she agreed to come to conduct visits in our house. She is incredibly attentive, both to my baby and myself and has even taken the time to teach me how to properly tie my baby sling carrier! I had forgotten to get vitamin d drops for my baby and instead of me having to go out to get them, she dropped some off at our house! One additional thing I appreciate is that she is easily reached for questions through text. This has been a lifesavor for a first time mother.

LAC (new mother)

Dr. Hardy listened to our concerns and validated our feelings. She gave us action items of things to try which was so helpful. Dr. Hardy also checked in with me emotionally about my unplanned C-section which I really appreciated. You can tell she is a very kind and caring doctor. Her patients are lucky to have her!
