Classes & Events

* About Families main focus is on bringing parents together and offering support and education. We have very mixed feelings about the steps to take right now to keep the community we value so much safe during this virus outbreak. We know that isolation can contribute to the challenges of parenting especially in those first months with a new baby. Our support groups have gone virtual as well as our upcoming Birth Doula Training. We are also offering a discount during this time for our Doula Training. If  we have not offered a virtual options for a class a future date will be announced, but we are still here for you! My personal cell is 805-570-3725 and email is Joanna.whitlow@formomsandbabies.com. I will do free phone consults for breastfeeding or postpartum or just be an ear or offer resources for anyone during this time. Please stay healthy and safe!

Introspective Parenting Workshop
Zoom Online Class

What:
Introspective Parenting Workshop

In this 3-session workshop, we will practice an “inside-out” approach to parenting where we examine the internal world of the parent and child, leading us to solutions that come from the values we want to live by.

We will start by discovering the values you’d like to foster in your family—what really matters to you? Then we will look at the thoughts and feelings that can get in the way of living by what matters to you... guilt, anger, disapproval, exhaustion, confusion, and an overall feeling of being out of control. And through various experiential opportunities, including closed-eye processes, group discussions, partnering exercises, individual sharing, and supportive coaching, you will learn ways to connect with the deeper longing under the surface. Once these deeper desires are discovered, it is then easier to see solutions that align with your family values.

During this workshop you will learn how to… —connect with and live by the values you really care about —address the underlying needs of yourself and your child —be empathetic and compassionate —allow the message of love to come through
