The transition to motherhood can be both deeply joyful and also very tough.
That's why having a space to meet both yourself and other mothers is so important. That’s what For Modern Mothers is here to help you with.
There are classes and courses are here to help you have some time and space for yourself and with your baby. As well as meet and connect with other new mothers and find that vital support network we really need. You can join us for Mum & Baby Yoga and Baby Massage in person each week, and there’s also my online Calm & Empowered Motherhood course too.
I also offer services to help mothers cope with difficult births, or time around birth, with my birth listening and reflecting service, and with the ‘Three Step Rewind’ technique to help relieve birth or any perinatal trauma.
Find all the details of these classes and courses for Mothers below:
Baby Massage
“Touch is the simplest and most effective way to communicate to babies they are loved, respected, secure and cared for.”
Being massaged helps babies relax and cope better with stress, improves their muscular coordination and flexibility, improves circulatory and respiratory rhythms, as well as helping to relieve symptoms such as colic, constipation and improve digestion. It also helps you as a parent to learn useful techniques to help calm and relax your baby, create a deep connection to your baby and helps with bonding, and helps you to feel more confident with your baby too. It’s all good.
