May 30 – Peaceful Parent

amylee — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:43:32 +0000

Conscious Parenting Series
As parents we strive to do what is best for our children, yet as humans we are going to fall short of our ideals from time to time. It is important to be patient and loving with ourselves so that our children will learn to be patient and loving as well. Our parenting is a constantly growing and emerging part of our development, just as our children are continuously developing. The most important thing we can do to prepare ourselves for the great task of parenting is to come from a place of unconditional love and to be informed. For this is where conscious parenting will emerge.

Peaceful Parent
This class will explore our role as models for our children’s growth into happy, healthy adults that take responsibility for their behavior. We will explore ways to heal our own wounds, manage our emotions, and foster deep connections with our child. $30 per person or $45 per SAME HOUSEHOLD couple. Register here.

Instructor Natalie Roberts is working toward her degree in Psychology and Family Studies. Her concentration is in Human Development and Family Relations. She has begun to fulfill her dream of working with children and their families in parenting education, stress management, health and wellness, including the ideas of attachment parenting.

Our New Doula Cooperative!

amylee — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:42:49 +0000

For quite awhile now, I’ve wanted to offer a doula cooperative. Understandably, this model isn’t attractive to every doula and every couple. Many doulas AND couples really prefer the relationship they establish and then maintain through the birth. And fortunately, there is no lack of individually hired, private doulas in Albuquerque. Anyone seeking this has quite a choice of many doulas offering wonderful, quality support.

My goal to offer a cooperative model of doula care locally was driven by a desire to provide another option to expectant parents AND a desire to provide a realistic, family-friendly work situation to doulas. A cooperative model allows for availability for almost any due date, last minute situations and more. I rather like being able to accommodate all the inquiries I receive! I also like working with fantastic doulas whose family and work lives otherwise cannot support their important work in the birth world.

So, it is my honor to announce the Inspired Doula Cooperative. Please read on for more details about how our cooperative works and the doulas who do that work!

PS. If you would rather hire an individual doula, that is still an option!

Postpartum Depression support every Wednesday

amylee — Tue, 01 May 2012 03:03:47 +0000

Post-partum Depression group every Wednesday 10am-12pm. Welcoming, supportive, non judgmental. Everyone welcome who needs help adjusting to new motherhood.

Facilitated by Sara Bergert, Licensed Mental Health Therapist and former birth and post-partum doula. For more information on group, call Sara 377-9813.

The sliding scale fee is meant to help everyone get the support they need during this time. Remember that private therapy sessions can run up to $80 per hour so paying $20 per session ($10 per hour) for qualified support is a fantastic value.
