The natural and intuitive summer potty independence online program.
Save your spot for 2024
You've heard
it's natural for your toddler to independently use a potty as young as 12-18 months or soon after with your gentle, loving guidance.
You've done your research.
✓ You know that prepared parents thrive in early parenthood, and so do their little ones.
✓ You've been avoiding intensive and coercive potty training methods that erode your precious parent-child trust and make way for guilt and frustration.
✓ You value evidence based practices and are committed to remaining teachable. You're ready for guidance, support, and a community you can thrive in.
✓ And your little one is so ready to be potty independent.
But you're still left wondering how to start, and where to go from there.

Have we met?
Hi, I'm Erika
Mom to 3 little people, self-taught Montessori aficionado, citizen ecologist, and all-round nurturing soul with a background in Economics and a future in Landscape Architecture. As the founder and author/writer/podcaster behind Raise In Place and Bueno Market, I'm the friend that will journey alongside you in our programs.
Like you, I'm committed to a conscious and respectful approach to family life.
More specifically I've narrowed in on building our families on trust and connection, skill building and self-awareness (for us and our kids!), traditional wisdom supported by evidence-based practices, and the freedom that welcomes all of us to make mistakes and own our progress.
Together we'll ask the hard questions, simplify what has been made complex, and open ourselves up to what feels natural and intuitive.
This is a place were good folks gather.
Growth-mindset, conscious, and positive parents grow here.

The Diaper Free Summer FAQ
We love the 1.5-2 hour test. If your child is 12+ months has every gone diaper free for 1.5-2 hours, they're ready. Haven't tried? Try going diaper free for a few hours in an easy to clean space (patio, park, or an indoor space with washable flooring) a few days over the next week and observe their pattern. Don't worry about accidents. They're expected and normal and a chance to show your little one their bodily functions and needs :) And remember, you've got 14 days for a full refund if the timing doesn't work out to be right.
Weekly workshops start early May and continue through to early August. You'll continue to have access to the online course and be invited to follow up events for 12 months after your enrolment.
Our weekly workshops are Tuesday evenings from 7:45-8:30pm EST.
Our workshops will be recorded, and you'll have a chance to submit questions ahead of time, so if you can't make it, we will still be able to address your questions with the group and you'll be able to watch the recording when you're able to.
You're enrolment is backed by our bueno guarantee - if you decide the course isn't for you, reach out within 14 days of your purchase and we'll refund you.
If you want to continue but life gets in the way (hey we know it happens!), you'll have access to the course and recordings of the live workshops for 12 months, giving you a chance to return to it when life allows.
I want you to know,
there's a good reason
The Diaper Free summer
was our first course we launched.
Because, truly, I know how important this is to you and your little one.
And I know that post-potty-independence-glow you are going to feel on the other side of this program.

Potty independence is just weeks away!
