BIRTH AND PARENTING EDUCATION

If I was to go and ask 100 people to tell me what comes to mind when they hear the word ‘childbirth’ – what would they say? Pain. When you think about this, you realise the inherent problem we have as a culture when it comes to childbirth. Unfortunately, we make childbirth about the pain, and how to avoid as much pain as we can.

We need to create a different narrative, and a different reality for women when they go to give birth. Childbirth is about welcoming a new baby.

Childbirth can be a very different experience. How? By choosing and adopting a particular mindset when having a baby.

You see, science tells us this:

• The body and the mind are connected.
• What you think, causes the body to create biochemistry which results in that feeling. This feeling communicates to your body how to respond to the environment, both real and imagined. Therefore, what you think about childbirth, will influence how your body responds to the birthing process.
• If you’re scared of childbirth, your body will create a stress response. This makes childbirth harder and more painful.
• If you feel calm and confident and relaxed about birth, free of fear, your body will respond to labour in a very different way.
• What we fear, we fuel. What we resist, persists.

A beautiful 10 week mothers group that focuses on you, the parent.

Thriving as a New Mum is a mothers group in Canberra. Where the focus is on you, the new parent, more so than the baby. Tracey knows the challenges new parents face, so this program explores a different theme each week to dive into all that this new journey throws at you.

This is for mothers who don’t just want baby "tips". They want to feel like themselves again, trust their instincts, build community, and become the mother they actually want to be.

Classes are open to any new mother with a baby from 0 to 9 months old. With a maximum of 10 participants per class, you will build powerful tools to support you and your partner to thrive. This will transform your experience of the intense learning curve that comes with having a new baby.

The Parenting Village is a magical container for parents to connect, reflect, learn and grow alongside one another, with magical results.

As a community of parents, we’ll come together every month to discuss different parenting concepts and techniques and how you can apply these in everyday life.

Together we’ll troubleshoot themes and reflect on them while forming a village of parents like no other. A community that will support you and be there for you every month - as you journey through the trials and tribulations of toddlerhood (and beyond!).
