Come join other new mothers and their pre-crawling babies (from birth to about 9 months) in a supportive meditation/ discussion/support group aimed at reducing stress, securing self-confidence, and strengthening your emotional connection to your infant and partner. We will practice mindfulness skills, no prior experience necessary, talk about infant-parent attachment, and other topics related to early mothering. Read more |
Here is what other mothers are saying about this group:
"I really enjoyed this group! I always felt like the group was a very safe and warm place to share experiences without any judgment."
"Your facilitation was thoughtful and helpful without being intrusive."
"I really like the way you helped us all to remember to be kind to ourselves in this time of growth and change. I also loved the way our mindfulness practice often calmed the babies."
"This practice helped me learn conscious techniques for calming my baby and even helping her to sleep."
“I thought the meetings were wonderful. The atmosphere was so comfortable and warm and I truly felt like I could share anything. I never worried about feeling judged or compared to other mothers.”
