Local Business Champion: New Mom School Westport.
New Mom School Westport is hosting its Grand Opening on Sunday, June 1, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM at 25 Sylvan Road South, Suite U, Westport
Meet Abby Dixon, owner and instructor at New Mom School in Westport.
Why did you start your business?
By trade, I am a Licensed Maternal Mental Health Specialist, and I recognized the need for moms to have a community and access to specialists and resources in addition to therapy. Supporting moms and allowing them to connect and learn is our WHY.
What is your best-selling product/service?
Our best-selling class is tied between our Newborn class, which serves moms and their babies aged 0-3 months, and our infant class, which serves moms and their babies aged 3-6 months!
How many local businesses do you use to support your business (products and services) and can you name them?
One of my goals in bringing New Mom School to Westport was to use as many local and mom-owned businesses as possible in building and running the business. Our lactation partner, Milk Street Lactation, is run by two local mothers and is based in Norwalk. My Social Media Manager is Stephanie Formisano of Form Creative Co., an expecting mom located in Blackrock. Squeeze Massage is our partner for our grand opening on June 1, and Purple Cow Cleaner, run by a local Weston dad, makes sure our studio is cleaned and sanitized for our moms and babies! There are too many to list, but part of the joy of bringing New Mom School here is the collaboration with local businesses!
I have augmented my small business! I imagine New Mom School Westport to be a community for new and young parents in Fairfield County. Saturday will host our free "Dads and Donuts" for dads to be able to connect and gain confidence with their little ones. We host many free support groups, and hope to become a social hub for moms by hosting game nights, craft nights, and lecture series as well!
