WORKSHOPS
I offer educational workshops and courses for women and people preparing to embark on the journey into parenthood. This work is focused on giving you time to connect inwards and evolve relationship with agency and autonomy at a crucial and pivotal time of life.
Preparing for the Fourth Trimester
Conceiving, Nurturing and Birthing the Mother - A one day workshop
What happens after birth?
This one day workshop is preparing for the time immediately after birth. The first forty two days, the fourth trimester or the very beginning to the post partum time, the moment after baby is born.
These workshops are an offering to people in pregnancy to:
explore how the first hour after birth might be for you
to listen to your body and explore body autonomy and safety
to feel into holding space, care and responsibility for another being
what the fourth trimester might hold for you if birth was traumatic or held some trauma
to learn about the Chinese Medical understanding of this time and what we can learn from this
reconnect to your maternal roots, your matriarchal lineage
to leave you armed with information that enables you choice about how you would like your fourth trimester to be and clarity in creating your compass for your first 42 days
Establish a sense of what a healthy recovery looks like and look at early parnthood as a significant time for healing, growth and change.
INTENTIoN
My intention for this workshop is to offer a space for you to look inwards during pregnancy as you step into the beginning of your journey into motherhood.
My background working with the body for ten years is part of what has urged me to offer this workshop so that it is rooted in embodied practice.
I am an Acupuncturist so we will look at the the post partum time through the lens of Chinese Medicine - its understanding of this time energetically and what it offers to us in understanding care in the post-partum phase.
I work with tracking sensation and with patterns of somatic experience in the body. I teach inspired by my somatic work and inspired by working with pregnancy in a clinical setting.
My aim is to offer people a sense of holding, support and guidance at this time of transition to help them best align with their voice, with their autonomy and with their power.
It is my hope that we collectively tend to the soil from which the next generation grows.
