THIS MAMA RISES

Spread over 5 sessions, we cover:
👶🏻 Preparing for your labour & birth - we discuss ALL the options available to you, I help you learn how to advocate your own choices, how to prepare yourself physically, emotionally and practically, and feel empowered in all the decisions you make.
🏡 Taking Baby Home - what happens in those first few hours, days, weeks and months... practicing swaddles, bathing, nappy changing...OR how to adapt to life with more than one baby
💤 Safe sleep, crying and feeding! Delivered with zero judgement and bias, we will look at different options, explore the possibilities and different scenarios.
🧁 A delicious in person tea morning for mamas to get to know their new mum friends and share any more private questions and concerns they might have. And we’ll focus on your wellbeing, as your health is as important as your baby's.

You will also meet other expectant parents, widen your support network (aka your village!), have fun, and eat cake.

We start with an in-person session to get to know each other, and chat about expectations for the course. Most of our time together is online, so I’ll provide resources with everything you need at home to engage in activities and tasks throughout the course.
