Conscious Parenting

Conscious birthing and parenting is one of the most important gifts we can give to ourselves and our families. These one day workshops cover the very basics of conscious parenting (how we learn to parent); understanding your beliefs around birth and parenting and how this influences you and your choices now; and practical techniques and support for conscious parenting (including baby needs and care).

I currently run conscious parenting within the Calmbirth Classes. However, please
Contact Me for more information on Conscious Parenting Workshop dates in 2010.
