(For moms and their pre-crawling infants)

 Bringing mindfulness to infant-parent attachment and the transition to motherhood

Early motherhood is a time of tremendous transformation. Being present for these changes can make the transition a joyous experience. Most of us come to this time, however, steeped in expectation about what motherhood will be like. More often than not our experience turns out to be at odds with these expectations. Learning to bring mindful attention to what is – rather than what should have been – can make the experience of parenting more pleasurable and enriching. It can enhance our sense of contentment, reduce our stress, and increase our ability to respond optimally to our infant’s needs, improving infant-parent attachment.

Come join other new mothers and their pre-crawling infants 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. Group meets for 8 weeks and costs $320.00
