Zen pregnant

The 8-week course combines mindfulness, childbirth preparation and parenting and is also known as the Mindfulness-Based Childbirth & Parenting (MBCP) course. As the name suggests, mindfulness is an important pillar of this course. It promotes calmness, trust, flexibility and focus, which makes mindfulness and childbirth go so well together.

Take control during your labor

Mindfulness helps you to stay better balanced, even in stressful situations. It enables you to relax better, even when it is exciting. Through mindfulness you learn to deal calmly with unexpected situations, so that you can better maintain control during pregnancy, childbirth and the period afterwards.

Is it airy-fairy? Definitely not.

Mindfulness offers very practical skills that you can easily apply to better deal with challenges. I consciously choose a down-to-earth approach, so that the course is accessible to everyone. It is valuable for every pregnant woman.

Positive effects on childbirth:

  • Mindfulness promotes peace, confidence and relaxation during childbirth.

  • It increases your flexibility in dealing with stress and uncertainties.

  • Pain becomes more bearable and you maintain mental peace and control.

  • The chance of unnecessary interventions decreases and you think less in doomsday scenarios.

  • It increases the chance of a positive birthing experience and strengthens the cooperation with your partner.

THEY WENT BEFORE YOU

We recently followed an 8-week childbirth course with Joska. This was a very positive experience, Joska is very professional, offers a listening ear and will do everything to prepare you for a pleasant birth. Especially because I had a previous negative birth experience. We benefited a lot from this and now look back on a healing birth. The course days
are very informative but also very pleasant. Joska knows how to create the right atmosphere. We are happy that Joska was able to guide us during the pregnancy! Thank you very much!!
