to Jun 23

The Exhale: Mom and Baby 4-week Series

Motherhood is such a beautiful milestone. The joy, cuddles. The LOVE.

But,

It can also be overwhelming, chaotic, and gogogogogogo.

The Exhale 4-week series is a virtual gathering, where moms and babies come together. We slow things down, reconnect with yourself, baby, and other moms and babies.

No pressure.

Baby does not need to be “ready”

Nothing to prep.

Just you and your baby.

Each one-hour session will include:

Gentle breathwork

Baby massage

Real conversations in various topics

Community


Sometimes you will share, sometimes you will listen. Sometimes baby will sleep the whole time, or bounce on your lap happily.

There is no pressure to perform here.

It is about creating a space where you can feel supported. I look forward to meeting you and your bebe.


Investment: $60 CAD (about $45 USD)

Dates: Tuesdays, June 2,9,16,23.

10-11am


**Spots are limited and held intentionally, so all registrations are final and non-refundable.

Group Elemental Rhythm Breathwork at Livewell MFR

What would happen if you BREATHE with intention?
In this session, you will have the opportunity to BE. Just BE.
In the moment.
In your body.
In your feelings.
In your inner truth.

We will then drop into our breath. I will guide you into different breathing patterns, where you can dive as deep as you want. Where you can find clarity, peace, release.

After the “work” part of this practice, you will be guided in meditation, followed by some integration time. This is a time where you can relax, reflect, journal, and just BE.
All with a personally curated playlist (and they are kickass playlists)
Afterwards, there will be an optional share, and time to connect.

You will need:
Yoga mat, water bottle, pillow, blanket, journal and pen if you wish, blindfold (I have enough for everyone)
