Why Amiga Moms?

Research published in the Journal of Child and Family Studies has found Latina mothers experience higher rates of parenting-related stress than white, non-Latina mothers.  Consequently, additional supports and stress-relievers, such as understanding and implementing a mindfulness practice, are beneficial to reducing stress.

There is also research stated by the American Psychological Association that mindfulness has the following empirically supported benefits: 

• Stress reduction

• Boosts to working memory

• Focus

• Less emotional reactivity

• More cognitive flexibility

• Relationship satisfaction

• Enhancement of self insight, morality and intuition

​

Amiga Moms will reap many benefits such as:

• Networking and support from other 21st Century Latina mothers

• Knowledge on mindfulness and its benefits

• Practical mindfulness exercises to implement and practice

​

Hardworking mothers need Amiga Moms and deserve some time for themselves!  After all, "Mindful Mamis = Happy Families."
