New Beauty Wellness
This pretty day spa in Westport does great lymphatic drainage facials and prenatal massages.
Le Boudoir
The only blowout bar in Darien located just off the Post Road.
Lanphier
My hair salon pick in Darien — I’ve had great results with their Brazilian blowout!
Glowbar
If you’re looking for an efficient 30 minute facial that targets specific skin concerns, this Westport location is the place to go.
Centrality Wellness pelvic floor therapy
I only discovered pelvic floor therapy after our third baby and I wish I’d known about it for the first two as well! I saw Sheron Desouza for several months after Tucker was born and had a really positive experience.
Pediatric Center of Stamford
This is the pediatric practice my siblings and I went to as kids and I saw no reason to mix things up when it came time to find a pediatrician for our own children. We love Dr. Couture, Dr. Kenefick, and Dr. Lasky but have had great experiences across the board!
Kaia Yoga
I’ve taken everything from aerial yoga to prenatal yoga at Kaia and it’s a great studio for all skill levels! The aerial yoga is a blast to do with girlfriends — I’m not kidding when I say the savasana was quite possibly the most peaceful five minutes of my life.
Club Pilates
My mom and I love this Pilates reformer studio on the Post Road in Darien. Don’t forget a pair of grippy socks!
Countdown Fitness
I love once-weekly strength training sessions with Anel or one of his trainers. He swears 30 minutes a week is enough to make a difference and I always feel stronger after going consistently for a month or two! The gym is handsomely decorated and conveniently located at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue (though you should give yourself some extra time to find parking!).
Coastal OBGYN
This is the practice I switched to for my second and third pregnancies and I love that they have you meet with each doctor over the course of your pregnancy so you’ll always know the person who’s in the delivery room with you.
Accent Picture Framing
This gallery on the Post Road in Darien offers art restoration and custom framing — they worked on the oversized Nantucket painting in our dining room and did a phenomenal job!
Carolyn Brook
If you’re looking for a realtor in Darien, we had a great experience finding our home with Carolyn of William Pitt Sotheby’s.
