Vivian Potter
Location owner | Los Alamitos

Vivian is a proud mother to a beautiful daughter and a proud alumni of New Mom School — she has taken every class available to first time moms. Prior to opening the Los Alamitos location, Vivian worked in K-12 public education for 19 years and has been an adjunct professor at a local university. She started her career as a Spanish teacher at Oak and Los Al High, and served as high school and district administrator in several districts around Orange County and in Santa Monica. Vivian is passionate about education, parenthood, and community building and is so excited to create a space for moms to connect and find their village. In her free time Vivian enjoys traveling and learning about other cultures (she is trilingual!), cooking and trying new foods, knitting, wine tasting, sports (baseball and USC football), and spending time with her daughter and husband.
