An empowered approach to
planning and preparing for early parenting
EVENING WROKSHOP
Join Monika and Claire in Darwin's first workshop that supports women and their families to reclaim the postpartum as an empowering experience. Claire & Monika dive deep into the early transition into parenting and provide practical tools as well as informative content to help your prepare.
We plan for this workshop to be a gentle preparation workshop where we shine light on the importance of preparing and planning for a supported postpartum.
We go there, we talk about what it can look like, feel like, be like in those early weeks of parenting and explore what support can be invited in to help have a gentle but empowering start to life as parents.
We are passionate that support should not end once you have had your baby,. We will be covering breastfeeding and nourishing your baby, what to expect with sleep (how much you will get and how to cope), we explore a range of baby wearing options and look at the importance of connection base parenting and why it matters.

FULL DAY EVENT
If you are currently pregnant and craving the space to learn, connect and explore a holistic approach to your unfolding journey, this workshop is definitely for you. Think deep diving into bodywork, movement and nutrition. Think space for stillness to listen and learn and most importantly, space to tune in and really hear your intuition and connect with your baby. We will also be sharing some basic homeopathic, aromatherapy and accupressure tools for pregnancy and birth .
Here, in this workshop we are done talking about the system, and do not want to give any focus to unnescesary intervention, this workshop is all about your innate and diving ability to grow, birth and nourish your baby. This full day workshop will be deeply nourishing, will inlcude a small yoga and meditation practice and leave you feeling deeply connected to your journey.
If you believe food and movement can be the medicine, if you believe pregnancy and birth is a profound spiritual rite of passage, if you are ready to explore nature and all her divine ways, we will see you there!
