Pick up the June copy of Colorado Expecting magazine (FREE on most news stands as of May 26) for the full article on Birth of a Mother. Learn about the three phases of mother development.

 

Being aware of the underlying currents and typical development of a mother will allow you to traverse this intense experience with greater insight and compassion for yourself, your partner, child(ren), and others in your shoes, enabling you to establish a strong foundation and be the mom and the woman you want to be!

  

It’s not an easy road for either mom or dad to say the least. We go from being individuals with our own identities and freedom to come and go as we please, to something very different. With the many changes that are happening, motherhood (and fatherhood) is a great time to re-evaluate many things in your life, as parenthood naturally brings up critical questions about the past, present and future.   

  

Attend a workshop to share your experiences and move through the three phases of mother development with the support of a coach and others on the same path.
