Mindful Birthing Class

Coming to The place Counseling in 2027

“In becoming a parent I worried about adjusting to the stress of the newborn stage and the sleep deprivation involved. Since participating in Mindful Birthing Class I’ve felt calmer and more confident in myself as a new mom despite the challenges of adjusting to a newborn. It’s easier to exist in the moment, choose flexibility, and embrace the beautiful chaos of welcoming a baby.” -C.R.
