Winnipeg’s baby and family services scene is always changing, and it’s nice to see a business expanding its offerings! Bean Family Wellness is one such company that I’m excited to share today.
Its founder, Ilissa Kolly, who previously ran Simply Beautiful Childbirth Services, has combined that business with her photography business, and added a bunch of new services and products into one company that focuses on wellness from pregnancy through the early years.
Here’s a look at what’s offered through Bean Family Wellness:
- Doula services
- Birth wishes consultations
- Birth and newborn photography (Imagery by Bean)
- Free support groups: More Milk: Before Birth & Early Postpartum Preparation Support Group & Winnipeg Positive Birth Group
- An online boutique offering sales and rentals of items such as
- Ameda breast pump rentals and accessories (Ameda rental and retail depot)
- Pumping bras
- TENS machines
- Birth in a Box Eco pool and accessories
Bean Family Wellness is based in Niverville, and offers free pickup locally as well as in several surrounding towns, and free pickup in South Winnipeg once a week. Shipping and doorstep delivery options are also available. See the FAQ for more info.
A little more about Ilissa and her company:
