We're taking a whole new approach to lactation! The mind/body connection... mindfulness... embodiment practices. What do these concepts have to do with nursing a baby? Everything! Nursing a baby is often taught by giving parents the goal of learning positions (such as the "football hold" or the "cross-cradle"). But learning to breastfeed is not like learning to perform a gymnastics move. It's much more like learning to walk and then run--through a combination of instinct, body awareness, patience, learning what works across cultures (and even species), and watching others. If you're already nursing but experiencing pain, anxiety, resentment toward your baby, or exhaustion, join us to learn ways to reverse these issues. If you're expecting, come learn the secrets to help prevent such challenges and prepare for pain-free, joyful, and rested nursing. Family members and birth professionals also welcome!
