PREGNANCY and CHILDBIRTH can be one of the biggest LIFE EVENTS that you may go through in your lifetime!!  It can be a wonderful time full of JOY, EXCITEMENT, HOPE and NEW LIFE!

 

It can also be an increased time of STRESS, WORRY, ANXIETY,FEAR and SICKNESS.  Add a PANDEMIC into the mix and it is natural that all these normal Pregnancy related stresses and anxieties become elevated and it can become difficult to live and experience each moment of your pregnancy as it unfolds, without continuously worrying about your baby’s health, your health, medical appointments, your baby’s birth, what restrictions may be in place at the time of your baby’s birth and so much more.

 

Currently pregnant with my third baby and while recording this programme, I have thoroughly enjoyed designing, writing and delivering to you, in this online programme, the amazing daily Mindful and Self Compassion tools, tips, techniques, coping skills, breathing practices, meditations and affirmations that are helping me to remain positive, calm, energised, focused and that make every day of my pregnancy a joyous and grateful experience!

 

What will this Online Mindfulness for Pregnancy and Birth Preparation Programme include?

I have designed, wrote and delivered this online programme in a way that you will receive a general teaching in Mindfulness in each Module along with a teaching of HOW to actually apply the learning to your pregnancy, to everyday of your pregnancy and for your birth preparation.

There is a detailed break down of the what the entire Course consists of in the ‘Curriculum’ tab at the top of the page.  Here you will see how I have broken up each module, the content included in each module and also the supporting breathing and meditation practices that I have included in each module.

 

The following is a summary of how the course is designed:

 

  • Welcome and Facilitator Introduction

 

  • Module 1: Why Mindfulness for Pregnancy and for Birth Preparation?

 

  • Module 2: Cultivating Calm and Focus during Pregnancy and for Birth Preparation

 

  • Module 3: Reducing Stress and Anxiety during Pregnancy and for Birth Preparation

 

  • Module 4: Self Compassion during Pregnancy and for Birth Preparation

 

  • Module 5: Affirmations and Positive Mind Body Relationship in Pregnancy and for Birth Preparation

 

Each module consists of video teachings and audio meditations by myself.  I have also included some external teaching sources as supportive material from external sources in the form of video content in some of the modules.  This helps to gain a greater understanding of my teachings from different supporting sources.

 

How long will it take to complete the programme?

There are no rules when it comes to completing this programme!  It can be completed over a 5 – 10 week period, which gives time to implement each module’s tools, techniques and practices or it can be completed over a 6 – 9 month period, before your new little baby arrives into your life!  You can take the course at your own pace!

It really depends on each individual and their desired pace for moving through the course.  I would recommend taking time between each module to implement any suggested practices etc

Hi, I’m Leona McDonnell and I am a Mindfulness Teacher. I empower the children, teenagers and adults that I work with through Mindfulness, Meditation and Wellness with the belief that they already have all of the resources they need inside themselves to be the best version of themselves possible …. they just need to learn how to connect to and utilise these internal resources.

I teach those I work with how to experience calm, peace and serenity in their everyday lives and I teach people how to reduce the everyday chatter in their minds.

Having always being a very nervous and anxious child and teenager, from being afraid of my own breath, my own heartbeat, my own shadow, from undergoing numerous emergency medical surgeries with complicated recoveries, ICU admission, from anxiety, trauma and post natal depression to getting glandular fever in my mid 30’s, with 2 young children at home, working outside the home and also running my own Healing Practice, I hit breaking point in my own life some years back. I was stuck in a state of ‘Flight’, in a state of continuous panic. I had a broken mind, a broken body and a depleted soul. I didn’t know what to do, where to go, how to fix things. It was the toughest time and recovery of my life….

I then stumbled upon a local Yoga class and I decided to join it to see if I could create some calmness into my invasive mind and thoughts. I can remember not being able to even change my own natural breathing rhythm for the first few weeks, as I was in such a panicked state. As time went on, I grew to love Yoga as it made me reconnect with my body and my breath. It made me learn to trust my breath again.

I then went on and sought out Mindfulness tools and techniques that I could introduce into my daily life. I slowly learned how to become more present in my life. I learned how to stop ruminating in my past and how to stop worrying about my future and just be present and accept the only moment I could change, which is the present moment, the most important moment. I learned how to ‘Train my Brain’ using Mindfulness tools and techniques. Coupled with Gratitude Journaling, Meditation and with a lot of time spent outdoors in nature, I began to feel much better. I began to feel much more centered in myself, more grounded, calmer and more present.

After a number of years of my own daily Mindfulness, Meditation and Yoga practice, I felt amazing and had a zest for life! At this point, I decided that I needed to share with and help as many children and adults as I could with what helped me to transform my life! So I went on and did my Mindfulness training and here I am today!
