We want this workshop to empower you to advocate for yourself and make informed decisions during your labor and delivery experience. Too often, we hear from women who felt unprepared - mentally, emotionally, and physically - for their first pregnancy and childbirth experience. Many women are unaware of their autonomy as patients, leaving expectant mothers feeling disempowered in a sacred journey that should truly honor them at its center. The Maiden to Mother Workshop will utilize education, meditation, journaling exercises, and embodiment practice to empower first time mothers from a place of deep authenticity. As with all More Than a Mother workshops, Maiden to Mother takes a holistic approach to the transition into motherhood by nurturing the physical, mental, and spiritual health of the mother while not neglecting evidence-based medicine and provider-recommended best practices.
