Mindfulness for Mothers during the BOOST pampering day

BOOST pampering day for mothers


Various parties have worked hard on the program of the BOOST pampering day for mothers on October 7th, 2023 in Rotterdam. It was a beautiful and special day with guest speakers, dance performances, activities, Mindfulness, photo opportunities with Disney characters, live music, relaxation and good food.


The goal of Mindfulness for mothers
To positively stimulate the mental and physical balance so that (expectant) mothers are open to self-management in the field of vitality and to support in the field of economic independence. Mindfulness can provide mothers with numerous benefits, such as stress reduction, increased focus and concentration, improved physical fitness and improved performance expected of mothers.

 

Method
Mindfulness exercises and breathing techniques are used to reduce mental and physical obstacles. After a workshop, the mothers can apply these exercises and techniques independently. The mother gains insight into what influence her mindset and breathing have on her well-being. This in turn ensures that the mother has a positive view of her general well-being. Of course, children can also participate with mom.

Research

To strengthen this group of women's pursuit of economic independence, special work coaches from the municipality offer tailor-made guidance through the 'Samen voor Zuid' program. The women receive a training course developed together with Dona Daria and Diversion: 'Choosing work'. This training is aimed at making conscious choices regarding work, financial independence and employment wishes. In order to provide timely support to (expectant) mothers, we collaborate with maternity care.
