Join Dr. Anna Dowling, MD, of Birth Story Obstetrics, in collaboration with BYC prenatal teacher, Jacque Sweet, for this 4-week course designed to empower you throughout your pregnancy and birth journey. Each week, Dr. Anna will share her expertise on mindfulness for birth, covering key topics such as the benefits of mindfulness during pregnancy, the pain-fear cycle, nervous system regulation, and how to assemble your ideal care team.

In addition to insightful discussions, each session will include dedicated time for yoga techniques — postures, breathwork, and meditation — to support your mindful birthing practice. This course offers a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and prepare for an empowered and transformative birth experience.

Topics covered include:

  • The relevance of mindfulness to pregnancy and its benefits

  • Navigating and maintaining the pain-fear cycle

  • Nervous system regulation and balancing sympathetic and parasympathetic states

  • Assembling your care team—the whys and hows

Pricing options are ‘per person’ for all (4) sessions. Limited Capacity! If you’d like to bring your partner, please pre-register them separately.
