We are so honored to welcome Prentis Hemphill, teacher, embodiment coach, author, activist, and parent, in a conversation centered on their book, What it Takes to Heal, in the context of being and becoming a queer parent. Prentis will guide us through some embodiment practices that will support us as queer parents.
Please read What it Takes to Heal before coming to this event.

MORE ABOUT PREGNANTTOGETHER:
Hi! I am Marea Goodman, LM, CPM (they/them), a licensed midwife, published author, and parent to three kids (who are currently 3, 6, and 13). I have over thirteen years of experience working with folks who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, and am also the founder of PregnantTogether— because I’m deeply passionate about supporting queer folks and solo parents through the whole process of growing their families, and building community in the process.
Note: your first two weeks of membership to our PregnantTogether community is FREE and only $20/mo thereafter with no commitment. This and all future events are always free for community members.

You’ll also get access to TONS of recorded resources that will make this journey less overwhelming.
