About Us
BHAVA (baa·vuh)
Noun.
Meaning: 1.) Mindful intent
​
Bhava can be a “sixth sense” so to speak -- as an individual begins to listen to bhava, it can provide guidance and insight into what is important and beneficial to the true Self.
​
In Bhava, was founded in March of 2022, with the purpose of providing evidence-based, culturally competent, and respectful maternity education to all childbearing persons. At In Bhava, we know that providers, family, friends, and media can be both positive and negative, influences during our childbearing process. Our aim is to assure women, not by telling them what they “should” do, but by enabling them to make informed choices for themselves. We aspire to cultivate an educational experience that embraces each individuals personal desires, with positive birthing outcomes at the forefront.
​
Each class hosted by In Bhava has been strategically crafted to be an educational experience that joins the elements of mindfulness with body awareness. We have incorporated the Holistic Model of Care as the foundation of our educational curriculum, aspiring to provide a healthy psychological, emotional, and spiritual environment that is conducive to learning.
​
Our greatest desires is for our clients to have the pregnancy, delivery, and childrearing processes that are of their greatest desires. We hope that you allow us be of service to you, so that you can become In Bhava too.
