Service Description

This is a woman's only course and focuses on exploring and preparing for the first 40 days postnatally. The traditions that celebrated the transition into motherhood in western society, have been muted. There is now a huge expectation for new mothers to be everything at once, to be out and about within days of giving birth. This is not the way it should be! Bodies, minds and our new sense-of-self need time to develop, recharge and recover. ​The antenatal doula session compliments modern antenatal teaching. It can be viewed as an alternative or an addition extra. the circle helps to celebrate the ending of baby-in-womb and welcomes in new beginnings, mother-in-arms, a baby, a new family, a new community, a new belonging. ​This session for woman only and focuses on maternal connection and nurture. In this circle we explore the postpartum period and what it means to be connected through our experiences. This is a safe place where mothers can bond without the pressure of learning and exploring course content. Activities can include but are not exclusive to; guided relaxation, gentle pregnancy yoga / movement, sharing fears and knowledge, Robozo, massage, traditional postpartum foods and plant based teas/ drinks to enjoy on the day.
