So, we've been here for a few weeks (moved here from Portland Or.) and I am in search of a few services.
1. I REALLY need a good referral for a pediatric naturopath and a message therapist.
2. Where are the best local baby shops/boutique & baby/maternity consignment shops?
3. Is there anywhere local to buy cloth diapers?
I can answer one of the questions for you...
2. Baby shops...for more of the Boutique style of Clothing, I know of Lollipops on Bay Avenue in Capitola. (Next to Nob Hill) And there is also Hopscotch in Aptos off of Trout Gulch? They are both upper end clothing for kids. Consignment: Jelly Beanz on Soquel Avenue. And Little People on Main Street in Soquel. Jelly Beanz does trading Tuesdays and Thursdays I beleive. They will give you cash or store credit for trades. Little People, I think, only does store credit for trades. I haven't been pregnant for a while, but I think Little People takes maternity, unsure about Jelly Beanz
Hope that helps! Welcome to the neighborhood!
Shannon Innis is an amazing MT. She works from her home specializes in pre-natal, post and everything under the sun. She is also a pre-natal yoga instructor. I found her when I was pregnant with my second child 2 yrs ago. I find her rates to be very reasonable and she does an amazing job. My husband along with many friends also go to her. Her number is (831) 477-0518
Another good consignment shop is called ME Boutique on Portola - sorta behind Coffeetopia and next to Music Together. She has maternity clothing - baby - toddler onto kids. She also has some gear & toys too. She does trades etc.
