Mindfulness for New & Expecting Parents provides a space for expecting parents to spend time practicing mindfulness. The session will include light teaching and guided practice on different topics related to pregnancy, labor and birth, parenting and life. Time for discussion included.
Maya Z. Adams is a local nurse midwife with a long-time commitment to supporting women and families during the momentous time of bringing their children into this world. While she has delved in and out of the world of meditation and yoga for over 30 years, mindfulness became more significant in the last ten years, especially around her experience of parenting her own children. She found that while traditional therapy was helpful, a regular mindfulness practice provided another level of awareness and spiritual growth, helping to navigate the daily ups and downs of life, as well as influencing her practice as a midwife. Maya is currently engaged in a two year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) directed by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. Her intention is to extend the benefits of this practice further into her midwifery practice and care of new and not so new parents and people.
