Mothering Mindfully

Two groups are offered: one for pregnant women and another group for mothers of infants and toddlers. 

This stage of mothering can provide experiences of amazement, isolation, uncertainty, and boredom all in the same day. This group will provide a space for mothers to come together to support each other with compassion and openness, while also learning and practicing mindfulness and therapeutic skills to navigate the ups and downs of this stage of mothering. 

We will be using the book Mindful Motherhood: Practical Tools for Staying Sane During Pregnancy and Your Child's First Year by Cassandra Vieten as a template for group discussion. 

If you are interested, please email counselingwithfrancesca@gmail.com or call (503) 502-0623 for more information and to reserve a space in the group.
