Welcome...
NEW
LABOUR Support Techniques Workshop
FOR COUPLES and BIRTH PARTNERS!!
(dates: coming soon)
Pregnancy and child birth are natural and beautiful. But, at times, the pressure
can be overwhelming. Mom instinctively already knows what she needs. So by fostering
self acceptance and facilitating lots of practical support within an open non-judgemental
and well-informed space, she will make the best possible decisions for her and her
new baby. During this challenging and magical time, a happy Mom means a happy
Baby!

I remember the day I broke down. Baby Rachel was 6 weeks old and she would not stop
crying. Luckily for me, I had people I could call on. After a good cry (and I mean
a good, long cry), lots of hugs and a warm cup of tea, I was able to release
some of the intense pressure I was unknowingly putting on myself. And guess what...
I looked down at Rachel and she had stopped crying. I was able to see how utterly
beautiful she was. Thank goodness for everyday miracles!
Since that time, I have
an almost irresistible urge to provide the same level of kindness and support that
I received that day and for many months after that. Many women experience feelings
of elation and joy, yet many of us also experience overwhelm, disappointment, fear
and sadness - often all within the same hour!
In my counselling practice, I do not
focus on giving advice on how you should mother your baby. I provide a relaxed,
warm and open space for clients to explore some of the more common emotions associated
with pregnancy, birth and early mothering. In this space, clients can become free
of expectations to be perfect, thus allowing themselves to truly blossom and enjoy
the experience of being with their babies.
