Nona Birth Education & Counseling

"This Exhibition asks the question: What does maternal exhaustion look/feel like? as experienced during the ongoing pandemic march 2020-2021. The above term maternochronics is offered in an attempt to create space for a conversation about maternal time and the accumulation of stress. Through submissions to this exhibition, artists are welcomed to participate in an active dialogue, encouraged to redefine and contribute to the thinking and naming. Submission is open to all self identifying women and non-binary artists who are mothers/lifelong carers based anywhere in the world."

Birth is an autonomic physiological process. This fact is at the core of how we approach birth education and coping strategies in Nona Mindful Birth classes. When we can recognize birth as a normal autonomic process that takes place beneath cognition, then we have an opportunity to consider how we can influence the process rather than control it. Like other autonomic processes, birth usually works without intervention. However, like any other autonomic process in the body..., sometimes intervention helps the process function better. In the online Nona Mindful Birth Education classes, you will learn about how to support the normal physiological process of birth while also learning how to navigate care if you decide to use intervention. #nonabirth #mindfulbirth #childbirtheducation #onlinechildbirthclass #birthintervention #painmanagementinchildbirth #naturalbirth #activebirth

D-MER or Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex is a disorder in which breast/chest feeding parents experience extreme sadness, fear, or a sense of dread only while breastfeeding.

Birth Balls aren't just for sitting! While they are super comfortable for sitting on while in labor, there are lots of alternative ways to use them for coping. If your wrists get sore or tired from being in hands and knees, try leaning over a birth ball to take the pressure off of your wrists for a while. #childbirthclass #onlinebirthclass #onlinechildbirtheducation #prenatalyoga #naturalbirth #lowinterventionbirth #mindfulbirth #mindfulbirthclass #doula #doulatraining #epidural #vbac #laboranddelivery #evidencebased #laborpositions #comfortmeasures #birthbag #gentlebirth #birthcounseling #prenatalyogaonline #mindfulprenatalyoga #painmanagementforbirth #pregnancy #pregnant

Nona Prenatal Yoga & Support is available as an online asynchronous course with a private Facebook support group. Register with a friend or on your own for the emotional support so necessary during pregnancy along with the physical benefits of doing gentle yoga throughout your pregnancy.

Using a birth ball during labor is not only super comfortable, but in the hospital can be an alternative to standing next to or being in the bed while being monitored. Sit on the ball next to the monitors and lean over the bed with pillows to rest in between contractions. Adjust the height of the bed as needed. Remember, it's the staff's job to adjust monitors as needed to accommodate you. You should not accommodate the monitors. #childbirthclass #onlinebirthclass #childbirtheducator #perinatalcounselor #onlinechildbirtheducation #prenatalyoga #naturalbirth #mindfulbirth #mindfulbirthclass #doula #doulatraining #epidural #vbac #laboranddelivery #evidencebased #laborpositions #comfortmeasures #birthbag #gentlebirth #birthcounseling #prenatalyogaonline #pregnancy #pregnant

Resting your attention on where you can be soft in between contractions is a skill that parents learn in the Nona Mindful Birth Education classes. It is a strategy for occupying the mind rather than engaging thoughts that might escalate tension and anxiety. Register for our online childbirth classes for a holistic and evidence-based approach to pain management and partner support and to learn everything you need to know about giving birth.

Studies about brain changes in parents have historically focused on the birthing parent or mother. More and more, we are discovering the ways in which partner and father brain changes happen and how those changes may be directly related to how much time is spent with the baby.
