THE PRESENT MOTHER
#2 Amazon Best-Seller in Motherhood
AUTHOR, CATHERINE WEISS
Catherine began helping parents in 2008 when she created and led her first workshop called Parenting in the Here and Now© at The Open Mind Center in Roswell, GA.
Since then, through her coaching, workshops, bestselling book, newsletters and social media, she’s helped over 1000 parents from 13 countries, grow and develop their ability to be more present, conscious, and connected no matter where they are - at home or at work. She has a following of over 5,000 people from 43 countries and territories.
Before authoring The Present Mother, Catherine worked on keeping herself grounded by practicing a special form of yoga called Svaroopa, where she was introduced to spiritual principles and mindfulness meditation practices.
Starting a family led Catherine to take her regular mindfulness practice off the yoga mat and into her mothering life. She found great joy in the possibility of harnessing The Power of Now as she and her husband raised their children.
She practiced being present each day by using her upsets with her children as the invitation to go within and heal, grow, and empower herself and her kids.
Her motivation was to create a deeper, more empowering way of being in her family line.
