“Taking the Mind in Labor transformed my work as a doula. It gave me clear and pragmatic tools to center mindful awareness, embodied connection, and centering a perspective that allows each birth to unfold in the now. Mindfulness practice is a central touchstone in my practice and I credit Molly and Carol’s loving teaching strategies with giving me the tools I share with so many of my clients. I love working with families who have chosen to take mindfulness childbirth education classes because I know those families will come to me with a strong foundation in the labor support strategies I most firmly and deeply believe in. ”
Are you a birth worker who is interested in mindfulness?
In our Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting classes you will learn—along with pregnant students—how supportive approaching pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and parenting through the lens of mindfulness can be. It takes a village to birth a family, and all birth workers know that pregnancy, birth and parenting require the work of a team. Communication, respect, care, compassion, patience, trust…these are all important ingredients for a safe, supportive birth and parenting environment, and mindfulness practice helps cultivate all these qualities. Best of all, our classes will strengthen any personal mindfulness practice you have—or the one you want to start. Your mindfulness practice will benefit your clients/patients and you as well.
