Natural Resources: Pregnancy + Parenting - local business in San Francisco

"Natural Resources began as a place I took amazing prenatal classes (birth prep, breastfeeding, newborn care), but following the birth of our child, it became my safe space outside of the house, I could bring our baby. Space to feed, change and decompress with baby. Staff is welcoming with a smile and a helpful offer of a glass of water or cup of tea. They understand the challenges of new parents. Postpartum resources like lactation circle and new parent groups helped me not feel so alone or afraid. I can't wait to see how Natural Resources will be a part of our lives well beyond our infant stage."

"We’ve been to Natural Resources several times over the last two years. They have all the items you may need for a newborn and great gifts options. What I appreciate about them the most is the kind staff and the changing table available for parents. It has saved us numerous times while we’ve been shopping on Valencia and I’m thankful for them every time we need a clean, warm place to change our little one."

"I completed both the Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula trainings at Natural Resources and they were both amazing. I feel really confident going into these positions with everything we talked about, and the course work is thorough but manageable. Thank you NR!"

"I was in SF for vacation this week and stopped in here just as my baby was starting to fuss. Besides having an array of beautiful and practical baby and parenting items for sale, they also generously let me sit down in a relaxing glider while I fed my baby, offered to fill up my water bottle for me while I nursed, and invited me to the new parent happy hour that was happening while I was there. It was such a warm and welcoming space and my only regret is that I don’t live closer to keep coming back!"

"Natural Resources is an amazing source of support, knowledge, community, and awesome pregnancy/postpartum supplies. It's worth it to become a member to get a discount on their classes and any merchandise you purchase in the store -- the annual fee is a steal for the perks you receive! I'd highly recommend Natural Resources for any expecting or new parents to be part of an inclusive, welcoming and vibrant community that connects you to other parents and to professionals (lactation consultants, estate planning professionals, etc.) who make the parenting journey just a little easier."
