A coaching program into the wonders of your parental brain

Breakdown on the program
Educational videos on parental brain science
Each week, you will get access to short, easy to digest videos going over the latest research in parental brain science. You will learn about the changes that occur in the parental brain during pregnancy and beyond, what experiences shape the parental brain, how the parental brain regulates the infant brain via biobehavioral synchrony and attachment and what is the role of oxytocin in shaping our experience. You will also learn about alloparents and why it is important to have a support network.
Coaching session 1: A celebration of matrescence and patrescence
In this introductory session, we will meet each other. We will do an introductory meditation. We will have a parental brain awakening ceremony that will welcome your new emerging self. We will do reflective exercises that will guide you to discover the new you.
Coaching session 2: Committing to your baby and your values
Through a series of reflective exercises, you will bring to the surface your parenting values and discover your priorities. You will find out and share how you want to symbolize your commitment to your child.
Coaching session 3: Nervous system care
Guided meditation. You will learn how to take care of your nervous system via top-down and bottom-up practices. You will come out of the session with the knowledge of how to create a highly personal weekly nervous system care practice.
Coaching session 4: Creating your support network
You will come out with tools and ideas to create your support network in person and/or virtual. Part of your support network are also people that take care of your baby, these are alloparents. You will find out how to choose a daycare/caregiver and also how to help your baby form an attachment with a new caregiver.
Coaching session 5: Getting to know your baby
You will learn and practice exercises to fine-tune the empathy network in your parental brain. This sets the basis for secure attachment formation, which as you may have heard: it is crucial for a range of future outcomes from stress resilience to parenting the next generation in your lineage!
Coaching session 6: Parenting during challenging situations
Two of the challenges in parenting are infant sleep and supporting big emotions in toddlers. You will come out of this session with tools to help you navigate those difficult moments with resilience and from a place of well-being.
