Hopefully something else comes along soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348469 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:15:49 +0000 MsLipGloss 1348469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: No! I *puffyheart* Archer! *Danger Zone!* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348465 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:13:23 +0000 kjpugs 1348465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had planned to use them in the future and had used them in the past, but my heart goes out to anyone in the middle of a series. Especially those with sleep issues. We've been very lucky with E, but I know what a delicate, scary, personal thing sleep is and how much those mamas who "suffer" needed isis to help them help their baby. To them it's a SERIOUS loss. I just can't imagine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348415 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 07:42:19 +0000 mediagirl 1348415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a shame. They just opened a couple new centers, sounds like someone wasn't managing their money properly. I used them a lot for webinars during pumping sessions at work. I feel awful for all of the parents who live local to their centers and use them for classes and sleep training. I also feel bad for the employees who just had this dumped on them. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348410 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 07:39:36 +0000 bushelandapeck 1348410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a bummer...we used them quite a few times for advice on sleep, breastfeeding, and just for general baby-related items. It's a huge loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348408 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 07:39:16 +0000 maybebaby 1348408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a huge loss. The Isis Great Beginnings class was a savior in the first months of parenting and provides an amazing community of friends and resources for me. I am devastated for the loss of such an amazing institution and resource, for the staff who are suddenly out of jobs, and to the new moms in the middle of great beginnings classes as they navigate early parenthood who will suddenly have their new communities uprooted. This is so so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348386 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 07:25:43 +0000 Silva 1348386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: HaHA!

To leave ppl hanging so abruptly. Because it is a personal thing: support for mama's, babies and parenting as a whole..<br /> Ugh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348234 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 01:04:35 +0000 pregnantbee 1348234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sad. I feel like I lost a friend. Besides HB, they were my go-to resource for everything sleep and breastfeeding/pumping-related. What a loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348147 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 00:00:18 +0000 mrsjyw 1348147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heartbroken :*( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348128 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:47:13 +0000 Torchwood 1348128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I definitely thought that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348112 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:31:16 +0000 mrbee 1348112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's really sad... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348106 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:28:23 +0000 kjpugs 1348106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: LOL not sure what archer is but added parenting to the title for clarity :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348103 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:26:52 +0000 kjpugs 1348103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got this email:</p> <p>Dear Friend of Isis:</p> <p>It is with deep regret and sadness that I craft this letter. Ten years ago this May I walked through the doors of Isis' original Brookline, Massachusetts location for the first time. I was expecting my first child and was immediately put at ease by the staff and classes I completed. I had no idea at the time how valuable a resource Isis would become for me personally over the next few years, and I could never have imagined the impact it would have on me professionally as its leader.</p> <p>Isis Parenting is sorry to announce we will soon close our doors and, effective immediately, we will no longer be able to conduct classes or consults. That said, as we continue to sell the remainder of our trusted products over the coming days, we invite you to stop in - for drop-in playgroups, and most importantly to say goodbye to a gathering place that has meant so much to so many.</p> <p>You can imagine that our team is taking this very hard and relaying this news to them today was not easy. We are an organization made up of passionate educators and professionals who care deeply about our mission and live out our core values each and every day. Their passion and vision have fueled me over the last few years and are what gave me the confidence as a leader to fight so hard for our survival. Put simply, I ask for your compassion and support as we all digest this news, together.</p> <p>Please know that we are committed to making every effort to manage through this process with professionalism and respect for what you have lost as well. A separate communication will be sent to all currently enrolled class participants with more details. We thank you in advance for your patience as we work through this incredibly difficult process with a skeleton crew left on the team.</p> <p>We know that for you, our loyal clients, Isis is not just another business closing its doors. We have built a community of tens of thousands of loyal followers and a brand known nationally as a leader in prenatal and early parenting education and support. Despite my disappointment, I am proud of the vision initiated by our founders and the hard work that has built on their ideas over the years. Isis will be sorely missed by all who received support in our classrooms, on the sales floor and on Facebook, Twitter and via our webinars in over 100 countries. In many ways Isis was ahead of its time.</p> <p>Questions about classes can be submitted via email to <a href="mailto:clientcare@isisparenting.zendesk.com">clientcare@isisparenting.zendesk.com</a> and FAQs have been developed and posted to our support at <a href="https://isisparenting.zendesk.com" rel="nofollow">https://isisparenting.zendesk.com</a>.</p> <p>Thank you for believing in Isis and supporting us in our mission. </p> <p>In Isis Love,<br /> Heather M. Coughlin<br /> CEO<br /> Isis Parenting, Inc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348100 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:26:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 1348100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just signed up for the next class! This is terrible. Are all the webinars down already? </p> <p>That's really sad. I'm wondering why so sudden. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348099 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:26:02 +0000 PawPrints 1348099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Am I the only person who thought this was a post about Archer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348093 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:22:53 +0000 kjpugs 1348093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I'm wondering that too, if someone will volunteer as a new investor. It was one of the few resources like that to exist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348087 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:20:29 +0000 blackbird 1348087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their videos were so helpful! I hope someone else can put up se funds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348068 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:03:24 +0000 T-Mom 1348068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow that's sad! I loved their videos even though I don't live remotely close! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348066 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:02:21 +0000 Boheme 1348066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooo :( I loved their sleep resources! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/isis-just-closed#post-1348063 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 23:01:32 +0000 kjpugs 1348063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Isis... the store/webinar/sleep consultant people - just announced they are no longer. I guess an employee commented somewhere that the investor pulled out. I'm so sad because I know a lot of us have utilized their products/services. I couldn't have pumped as long as I did without Isis (and Nancy Holtzman.)</p> <p>Just sharing the sad news :(</p> <p>[attach=2870/14/mzfcjn.400x600.image.jpg] </p>
