Have you had a baby in recent months?

I know from working with mums that many of you are struggling with the adjustment to motherhood, loneliness, isolation, depression and anxiety. It’s all completely normal. We've lost our villages and we were never meant to do this mothering gig alone.

What if I told you that there's a way for you to find deep connections with other mums?

What if I told you there's a safe place to talk about the hard, the ugly stuff of mothering? What if I told you there would be no judgement? What if you didn't have the pressure of living up to society's expectations of you being a perfect mother?

Sounds good, doesn't it?

At Making Mama we don't just do coffee. It isn't just a place for chit chatting about motherhood - you know, the lack of sleep, the different kinds of poo, the 'when should I start solids'?

All of those things are important, and whilst you have the opportunity for this at Making Mama, it’s so much more!

I'm a qualified clinical social worker and group facilitator and lead discussions in the mothers groups that bring a sense of relief that you are not alone in your feelings, thoughts and experiences. Mums are so brave in sharing their deep (and sometimes dark) thoughts and feelings that generally aren't expressed elsewhere. You will receive support in a non-judgmental way, while learning to be a responsive and gentle parent through the evidence-based parenting information provided each week. I will guide you with attachment parenting information, while looking holistically at families, the struggles of motherhood, as well as the strengths you all possess as mothers.

My passion is supporting mums in their adjustment to motherhood to help reduce the rates of postnatal depression and anxiety. I also love helping mums build their village of support so they don’t have to do mothering alone. If you are looking for a little more than a coffee catch up group where there's no waitlist and you are supported by a health professional, Making Mama is for you!
