Moving into Motherhood - Virtual
In a fast paced world where women are expected to be strong and independent, how do we become confident mothers? The honest answer is go gently and slowly...and learn that asking for help does not equate to weakness.
Our virtual workshop, Moving into Motherhood, explores how different cultures celebrate the postpartum period and how we can embrace some of these ways to ensure we are nurturing our body, mind and souls in the early days after birth. We brainstorm ways to create your 'village' and discuss the importance of celebrating motherhood.
