The Village Mothers’ Groups

Welcome to our 6-week program

Monday 10th February 10am - 12pm

Biology never intended for us to mother our babies on our own. Mothers deserve to be surrounded by others walking the path of early motherhood - sharing, connecting and supporting.

We're excited to announce The Village Mothers’ Group; a six week course designed just for you and your bub (babies aged 6 weeks to 9 months).

Each week, we'll be joined by a different Collective Practitioner to share invaluable knowledge, provide support, and help you thrive as a mum. This will then be followed by time to connect, for babies to play and for you to have tea and share the ups and downs of motherhood.

Welcome to our Village Mothers' Group

  • Week 1 - Introductions and sharing stories with Midwife and IBCLC Harriet

    In our welcoming session to Mothers Group we open up the space to share our story and listen to others.

    Harriet will facilitate discussions to help you get to know each other alongside information to help you understand your babies cues, sensory and developmental needs, and we can discuss holistic sleep or challenges in your parenting journeys so far.

    This session is guided by the groups individual needs.

  • Week 2 - Massage and Mapping your Postpartum Body Nat Gillies

    In this session Nat shares her knowledge and skills with you. Being able to use the techniques demonstrated in this session will provide you with tools for self massage with multiple benefits to your body.

    Nat is our beautiful masseuse in The Village, she incorporates reiki in her practice assisting Mums in not only being more comfortable in their bodies, but she has the magic ability to assist with regulating their nervous systems in these session too.

  • Week 3 - Postpartum essentials: Recovering with herbs and nutrients with Maddie the Naturopath

    In this session we will explore essential herbs and nutrients to support postpartum recovery. Learn how to naturally nourish your body, promote healing and boost energy during this transformative time.

    We’ll cover gentle yet effective herbal remedies, key minerals and pracitcal self-care tips designed specifically to enhance your recovery, balance hormones and support overall wellbeing .

  • Week 4 - Postpartum Foundations when returning to exercise with Physio Maddie and Mum Safe Trainer Lisa

    When returning to exercise there are some key components that we need to be looking at. Although the doctor gives us the all clear at the 6 week check up there are so many factors to consider before jumping back into exercise.

    In this session we'll go over the importance of taking things slow and setting up a strong foundation first allowing you to build strength from the inside out.

  • Week 5 - Supporting Motherhood with Ash from Evolve Mental Health

    Ash from Evolve Mental Health is stepping in this week to provide you with insight and tools to support yourselves better in Motherhood.

  • Week 6 - Your postpartum motherblessing with Doula Kathryn and Somatic Therapist Intan

    This session is all about YOU! We will start this beautiful mother blessing with a cocoa ceremony, followed by a sharing circle, belly massage and finishing up with mini closing of the bones.

    You are going to feel so beautiful and restored from the inside out after this special session honouring your transformative journey into motherhood.
