Group discussions will include the impact of stress, mindfulness, and breath awareness, self-care, challenging unhelpful thoughts, the relationship between our mood and interactions with others, support systems, communication styles, and boundaries to support you on your parenting journey.
Postpartum Preparation Workshop
