Honest talk about the real experiences of getting pregnant, being pregnant and being mothers.

Becoming an Honest Mama is as easy as taking one slow, deep breath and feeling into your body…because that is how you begin to tune into your deeper self, hear the truths in your heart, and discover what you really want and need. There is nothing more honest than what is happening this very moment inside of you.

It is difficult to know where to go, what steps to take, or where exactly you are headed until you know where you really are right now. Many of us forget, or may never have experienced, the richness available in each moment when we bring awareness to our lived experience.

Therefore, we created a guided meditation for mamas wanting to initiate or sustain this deep connection to self. This meditation is incredibly relaxing and uniquely nourishing!
