Mindful Birth & Baby Workshop (2/26/26)

In Mindful Birth & Baby Workshop,

This interactive class is for families (pregnant person + one support person) who want a calm and connected approach to childbirth and early parenting. Whether you are getting ready for your first birth or looking for new tools to support your growing family, you will learn simple mindfulness skills to help during labor and birth, caring for your newborn, and while breastfeeding. Through guided activities, discussion, and hands-on practice, you will discover ways to stay present, lower stress, and strengthen your bond with your baby. You will also receive tools to continue your mindfulness practice at home in preparation of the birth/parenting transition to come.

It is recommended that this class is taken after finishing the childbirth portion of a standard birth class or with previous childbirth experience. If taking classes through Meriter Family Health Education, this class supplements the Birth, Breastfeeding & Baby series or Preparing for Childbirth Virtual class series.

For your comfort during relaxation practice, please bring 2 pillows and a blanket or mat to the second class. (Check!!!)

This class series will meet at the Jeff Levy Education Center, 2180 W. Beltline Hwy, Madison, WI
