MindfulMamas is offering two 6-week classes (one for moms-to-be and one for brand-new moms) for women who’d like to approach motherhood with more ease than anxiety, with more joy than fear, with more self-care than self-sacrifice. Participants will learn to increase their capacity for staying present in the midst of both calm and chaos … and learn to forgive themselves when they don’t. 

Each 1.5-hour class will be led by two experienced, certified life coaches (and moms!). The classes will be held at The Mindfulness Center in Bethesda. Registration is at http://t.co/M4TMTIm

Becoming a mother is an amazing journey filled with love and joy, but, let’s face it, not every moment is bliss. Both before and after baby, you’ve got countless decisions to make. At times, the pressure to make the “right” choices for you and your family can leave you feeling overwhelmed and even guilty.

With the help of MindfulMamas coaches Rebecca Dallek and Michelle Buzgon, you’ll focus on being more mindful of your inner wisdom and less on the external messages about motherhood. You’ll get the support and tools you need to explore what kind of mom you want to be while staying true to your individual identity. You'll also get practical ideas for preparing for baby and for getting through the days (and nights!) once baby is here. Best of all, you’ll do all this while bonding with others on the same journey at the same time.

Topics will include:

·      Evolving relationships with family & friends

·      Shifting identities

·      Work-life choices

·      Navigating the “motherhood shoulds”

·      Pre- & postpartum emotions: What’s normal and what’s not

·      Care & feeding of babies

·      Self-care

·      Mindfulness techniques to discover innate maternal gifts

The classes will be held at The Mindfulness Center in Bethesda. Register today! http://t.co/M4TMTIm
