Welcome to the Shifting Motherhood program!
​
The Shifting Motherhood program offers a warm and supportive space for mothers to cultivate self-awareness, build inner connection, and embrace self-care as an essential part of their wellbeing.
Designed with a holistic approach, this program blends mindfulness practices, reflective techniques, and gentle movement with mental health education, empowering you with simple yet powerful tools to regulate emotions, ease stress, and restore balance.
​
Through yoga, breathwork, meditation, and embodied journaling, you'll explore ways to nourish your mind and body, replenish your energy, and create sustainable self-care rituals that feel natural and accessible. Each session invites you to pause, tune in, and integrate supportive practices into your daily life in a way that feels right for you.
​
This is for you if you’re a mum of little ones (0 - 4 years old) and you are experiencing:​​
-
Emotional overwhelm or difficulty regulating your emotions
-
Stress, anxiety or symptoms of depression
-
Fatigue, sleep disruptions or burnout
-
Negative self-talk or loss of confidence
-
A shift in identity and sense of self
​
Having personally navigated birth trauma and postnatal depression, I understand how overwhelming this transition can be. My own experience taught me that self-care is not a luxury—it’s a necessity for feeling grounded and supported. That’s why Shifting Motherhood is designed to meet you where you are, with gentle, effective practices and compassionate guidance every step of the way.
​
We would be honoured to walk this path with you.
