Pregnancy Meditation
To help me explore all of this, in today’s podcast I chat to Toni Fraser Brennand who is a pregnancy meditation teacher and helps women adopt a meditation practice during their pregancy. Toni came across meditation during a tough time in her life and quickly decided that what she wanted to do was to help pregnant women use this valuable practice to enrich their pregnancy, birth and mothering experience.
During our chat, Toni shares
- how she became a pregnancy meditation teacher
- how she uses meditation
- her pregnancy journey
- what her pregnancy meditation practice involves

- why she thinks it’s important to undertake a some self reflection and personal growth in preparing to be a mama
and lots more!
You can find Toni here on Twitter, on Facebook and, when her website is live, you can find her here.
