This two-hour workshop is designed to support women in the postpartum period. Participants will learn essential tools for managing stress and developing resiliency while adapting to the new role of motherhood. Most postpartum women experience some sense of feeling overwhelmed. Often depression, anxiety, and insomnia can accompany the joy of a new baby. With the focus on calming the mind and body, releasing negative thoughts and beliefs, and accessing a deep sense of wellbeing, participants will learn valuable self-care tools that they can readily integrate into their lives. New mothers who have learned this technique report feeling a greater sense of joy, ease, and presence both in themselves and their babies.

The class is taught by Dr. Gillian Lerner, a licensed psychologist specializing in women's health and wellness. Dr. Lerner is strongly committed to helping women take better care of themselves in order to take optimal care of their children.

Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a blanket or mat, bottled water, and a pillow. A self-practice CD is provided in the class.
