start to their perinatal journey. Via grant funding from The National Lottery

activity, our uplifting course is designed to nurture and refuel your wellbeing.

emotionally volatile with moods and emotions there one moment and not the
next. At a time like that having a medium to express yourself can be hugely
catalytic. Julia and Andrea are both really gentle and patient. They’re a space
of safety, non-judgmental and wonderful facilitators. They’re always willing to
go the extra mile and stay on after as well to offer resources or just listen. It’s
also really helpful to have other mums go on this journey with you. Their
perspective and the fact that they’re in the same place as you and can relate
to your experience allows to be really seen and understood. I feel lucky to
have encountered this course at the time that I did."
