EVENT INFO:

Creating positive birth experiences. HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven technique, as well as a philosophy that guides and prepares a woman in giving birth in a peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful manner. It is a program that considers the psychological, as well as the physical, well-being of the mother, her birth partner, and the newborn, independent of context, whether that be in the quiet of a home, a hospital, or a birth center.

The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition, and positive body toning. Most importantly it fosters an air of mutual respect for the birthing family, as well as the healthcare provider in a traditional healthcare system or an alternative setting.

Facilitator:

Alison is a HypnoBirthing Mama, who is excited to share this gift with others. She has been in the field of hypnosis for over 10 years, and believes that mental preparation is as important as physical preparation for birth (and life)! Alison is passionate about helping others achieve the birth they want.

EVENT INFO:

Becoming a father is a big deal - new responsibilities, lifestyle changes, learning how to hold your breath while changing a diaper. Fatherhood comes with joy, change and usually at least a small dose of stress. This group is intended to build community among new fathers in Westchester. In our Circle of Dads, we'll come together to be authentic with the support of other men who get what it means to be up at 2am holding a feverish infant. Join us the first and third Thursday of every month to celebrate fatherhood wins, compare blow-out stories and sit in good company. Dads-to-be are also welcome.

MEET THE FACILITATORS:

EVENT INFO:

Becoming a father is a big deal - new responsibilities, lifestyle changes, learning how to hold your breath while changing a diaper. Fatherhood comes with joy, change and usually at least a small dose of stress. This group is intended to build community among new fathers in Westchester. In our Circle of Dads, we'll come together to be authentic with the support of other men who get what it means to be up at 2am holding a feverish infant. Join us the first and third Thursday of every month to celebrate fatherhood wins, compare blow-out stories and sit in good company. Dads-to-be are also welcome.

MEET THE FACILITATORS:

Brian became a father in September 2018 and somehow finds a way to love his son, Hudson, more and more each day. Brian brings over 3 years of experience facilitating men's circles as well as professional experience as a focus group moderator. His passion for fatherhood is equally matched by his passion for supporting men to be their most authentic and integrated selves. Brian is very excited to host this group of dads.

Rich is a committed dad, an avid record collector, and an advocate for men to be vulnerable and share their emotions about the trials and tribulations of fatherhood. He has been active in Circle of Dads since the group’s beginning in 2019 and became a co-facilitator in the summer of 2022. Circle of Dads has been instrumental in his parenting  journey, and he’s proud to help create an environment where men can come together and share with honesty and integrity. He lives in lower Westchester with his wife and son.
