The Lemon Grove In The News

Hi All! I’m Katie and I’ve just joined the team at The Lemon Grove as the Community Engagement Coordinator. In my role, I will be working with the internal team, parents/clients, and community collaborators.

A bit more about me: I worked for 15 years in the hospitality industry, including some time as an events & catering manager. I love to bring folks together, and support others so they can focus on what drives them in their work. I found The Lemon Grove when I was seeking my own birth support. Marissa Hathaway supported my husband and I as we welcomed our daughter in March. I knew then that I wanted to be a part of this team!

Please feel free to drop some time on my calendar here  for a virtual coffee chat, or a walk/meetup if you’re on the Northshore and to follow me on Instagram here. I look forward to getting to know & grow our community better in the coming months!Description goes here

From Meagan, the owner:

"Finding a location that is truly welcoming and understanding of babies and kids hasn’t been easy… but we found the perfect fit!

I’m thrilled to be renting space from Marissa at The Lemon Grove and joining Doc Roth, The Movement Solution, right next door! Here’s to new beginnings, playful progress, and the same compassionate care for our little friends.”
