New Mom School Edmond is more than just a class—it’s a supportive space for new mothers navigating the unpredictable journey of early motherhood. Locally owned by Jaclyn Buckingham, a new mom herself, New Mom School Edmond was created from a place of deep understanding and empathy. Jaclyn knows firsthand the overwhelming mix of emotions, from the joy of holding your baby for the first time to the uncertainty of sleepless nights and endless questions. Her mission is to ensure that no mother feels alone in this journey.
The school offers a structured yet nurturing environment where mothers and their babies come together weekly for eight weeks. Each class is carefully designed to address different aspects of the postpartum experience, from sleep and feeding to mental health and personal identity. The curriculum is led by a diverse group of experts, including a sleep consultant, pelvic floor physical therapists, an international board certified lactation consultant, a certified parenting coach, an infant massage therapist, a pediatric dietitian, a pediatric physical therapist, car seat safety technician, and mental health professionals, all of whom provide evidence-based guidance tailored to new moms’ needs.
What sets New Mom School Edmond apart is its community-driven approach. Beyond the expert-led discussions, the program fosters deep, meaningful connections between moms who are all walking a similar path. The power of shared experience is undeniable—having a support system that truly understands the highs and lows of motherhood can be life-changing.
The classes are divided into four main groups: one for moms with newborns (0-3 months), another for infants (3-6 months), and a third for rising toddlers (6-12 months). In addition to these core classes, New Mom School Edmond also offers a specialized course for second-time moms with newborns (0-3 months), providing support tailored to their unique experiences. These classes are designed to address the unique challenges and experiences that come with parenting at different stages. Whether it’s managing the transition to toddlerhood or navigating the dynamics of being a second-time mom, these offerings ensure every mother finds the support she needs at the right stage of her journey.
In addition to the structured classes, the program also includes baby-friendly activities such as music and movement sessions, sensory play, and guided bonding exercises to help strengthen the mother-baby connection.
Edmond New Moms School also goes beyond education by providing a safe space for open conversation. Whether it’s discussing the mental load of motherhood, the challenges of returning to work, or simply acknowledging the struggles that come with adjusting to a new identity, Jaclyn has created a place where mothers feel heard and supported.
In a world where postpartum care often feels overlooked, Jaclyn is on a mission to change that narrative. She believes that every mother deserves access to the knowledge, support, and community that will empower her to thrive—not just survive—the early months of motherhood. Her hope is that through the school, moms will not only gain confidence in their new roles but also find friendships that last well beyond the newborn stage.

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, yet it remains widely misunderstood and often neglected in medical education. This lack of awareness has contributed to a shortage of healthcare providers specializing in menopause management, leaving many women without adequate support during this critical transition. “There are only seven certified menopause providers in the entire state,” says Dr. Ronni Farris.
Dr. Ronni Farris, based in Norman, Oklahoma, is one of these few certified menopause providers. With a strong background in gynecology, wellness, and aesthetics, Dr. Farris is committed to offering compassionate, personalized care to women navigating menopause. Her mission is to create a safe and inclusive space where patients receive customized treatment plans designed to enhance their health and well-being.
Dr. Farris’s journey into menopause medicine was driven by her recognition of the glaring gaps in education and available care. Seeing firsthand how many women struggled to find providers knowledgeable about menopause, she pursued advanced certification from The Menopause Society, making her a leader in the field.
The lack of specialized menopause care is a nationwide issue. A study published in Menopause, the journal of The Menopause Society, found that many residency programs do not include a standardized menopause curriculum, leaving new physicians unprepared to manage menopause-related health concerns.
This educational gap has direct consequences for patient care. Many women experiencing hot flashes, mood changes, sleep disturbances, or bone density loss struggle to find doctors who understand their symptoms and can offer effective solutions.
Dr. Farris has seen this firsthand. “Menopause is a critical phase in a woman’s health journey, yet so many women are left without guidance or support. My goal is to change that,” she shares.
Menopause is not a one-size-fits-all experience, and neither are the treatments. Dr. Farris offers a variety of options to help women manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
HRT is one of the most effective treatments for managing menopause symptoms. It helps alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness while also reducing the risk of osteoporosis. However, it is not suitable for every woman, so Dr. Farris takes a personalized approach, assessing each patient’s medical history and individual needs.
For women who cannot or choose not to use HRT, there are several non-hormonal options available. These include lifestyle changes, dietary supplements, and medications like SSRIs (typically used for depression but effective in reducing hot flashes).
Exercise, nutrition, and stress management play a crucial role in managing menopause symptoms. Dr. Farris emphasizes strength training to maintain bone health, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and mindfulness techniques to help with mood swings and sleep disturbances.
Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Farris is an advocate for menopause education. She regularly shares insights and advice through her social media platforms, blog posts, and community events, aiming to break the silence surrounding menopause and encourage open discussions about women’s health.
Dr. Ronni Farris is at the forefront of this change, proving that menopause is not something women should endure alone. Through her expertise, compassion, and advocacy, she is helping women navigate this transformative stage with confidence and support.

As seasons change, so does the need to fortify our immune systems and maintain optimal health. One innovative and effective way to achieve this is through intravenous (IV) therapy. IV therapy is gaining popularity as a powerful tool for bolstering the body’s defenses, promoting well-being, and addressing various health concerns.
IV therapy involves the direct infusion of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fluids into the bloodstream via a needle. By bypassing the digestive system, it ensures rapid and complete absorption of nutrients. This approach allows for tailored treatments to meet individual health needs and goals.
IV therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all; it offers a range of options to cater to various needs and goals:
Winter is a season when taking proactive steps to protect your health is essential. IV therapy offers an efficient and customizable approach to achieving optimal wellness. Whether you’re looking to boost your immune system, increase energy, or address specific health concerns, there’s an IV therapy option to suit your needs. Consult with a healthcare provider to explore the benefits of IV therapy and create a personalized plan to thrive throughout the winter and beyond.
