Waldorf-inspired Early Parenting by Design
Consciously prepare yourself and your home for your parenting journey so you can SLOW down, parent with INTENTION in a crazy world, and your child can THRIVE in their new little body.
(If your child is already here, and age 4 or under, you’re welcome to join, too!)
So, about parenting in today’s world…
You can see that the “normal” way of parenting and educating children in our culture is not healthy.
You’re anxious about raising a child in today’s too-much-too-soon, over-stimulating culture, and want to just SLOW down with your child
You wonder how to protect your child and build a strong foundation in a world with so much negativity
You know that good parenting starts with YOU, and when we know better, we do BETTER
You’re curious about how to incorporate Waldorf-inspired elements into your parenting, home, and family life — or maybe you only know that you’re looking for a DIFFERENT way from the mainstream
You feel the energetic SHIFTS happening in our culture and on the planet, and want to work with them for a better future
The FUTURE demands confident, adaptable, grounded, imaginative, compassionate individuals who can make sound decisions
Imagine how it would feel to REALLY….
ALIGN with a parenting philosophy that recognizes the physical, emotional, and spiritual nature of life — based on Rudolf Steiner, the founder of the Waldorf education movement
Prepare yourself and your home to provide a gentle WELCOME for your baby — body, mind, and spirit
Make a plan to be “mothered” as a mother: nourished, rested, respected, and NURTURED, for your own well-being and your child’s
PROTECT the senses of your Little One with conscious care
Gain CONFIDENCE in your ability to parent the way you desire: mindful of daily rhythms, warmth, movement, and connecting with your Little One(s).
Work with simple, PRACTICAL implementation strategies.
Envision and EMBODY a new version of yourself as a parent, without losing the parts of yourself that make you You
Feel READY (as much as is possible) to be a parent, or to parent in a more intentional way
Julie Behnken, the owner of StarSong Postpartum and Beyond, believes that we can change the world through parenting our children and is no stranger when it comes to raising healthy, thriving children who embody their true selves. As a certified Early Childhood specialist with a Master's in women's studies, she combines Waldorf-inspired parenting with Human Design to help new parents consciously prepare for parenthood and meet their child’s unique needs. She owned and operated a home child care program for over a decade and has 20 years of her own parenting skills, so she has a deep understanding of caring for little humans to help them grow from a solid foundation. Residing near scenic Boulder, Colorado with her partner, she is taking time to enjoy the simple joys in life like decadent dark chocolate and learning about homesteading.
In Human Design, Julie is a sacral Manifesting Generator, and astrologically, she is a Cancer sun, Cancer rising, Taurus moon. She is the partner of an emotional Generator and triple Leo, and her young adult son is an emotional Projector with a Taurus sun, who also lives in Colorado.
