Valerie Geerts just completed the MBCPTT Level 1 and is looking forward to completing training with Level 2. Based in Milan, but originally from Belgium, Valerie is excited to see mindfulness catching on in Italy and hopes to be part of the mindful birthing movement there in the future.

"Thanks to this course, I feel like I now have the beginnings of a foundation to really understand, practice, and teach mindfulness. Although I have studied mindfulness before, this course was the missing piece of the puzzle for me. It brought together elements I had learned about before but gave me the background and context to put all of this into practice."

"I already feel how transformative this practice can be and how important it is to set your intentions for learning about it. As they say, what you practice grows, so the more you practice mindfulness, compassion, and kindness, the more you cultivate those qualities in your work and life." -Valerie Geerts - Stress & Mindfulness Coach

Because it's difficult to find sensations that are comparable to labor contractions--distinctly unpleasant feelings in the body that arise spontaneously, reach a peak, and pass like a wave--a normal itching sensation is a fabulous teacher in preparing for labor and delivery.

If you pay very careful attention to an itch, you will notice that it arises unbidden, seemingly out of nowhere, gradually increases in intensity, and reaches a peak or crescendo.

This last stage is when most of us scratch. However, when we're practicing mindfulness as training for labor, for being with things as they are even if they are unpleasant or painful, we have another option.

Not scratching an itch during meditation is great practice for the contractions of childbirth.
