SOME PAST EVENTS
I love being a part of new parent groups and circles. Here are a few i have attended over the years.
Healing Your Mother Wound
I talk a lot about the Mother Wound here, and support people with their own healing journey on it. Just in time for Mother’s Day, i co-facilitated this virtual, live workshop with Katelyn of 7C Salts. We shared a rich discussion, journal prompts, and somatic resources. Everyone also got access to a soothing playlist. You can still access the recording for $30. Find the details for the recording HERE.
*Oaks and Acorns: Various guest visits to this amazing group – Participants discussed the reality of motherhood as not quite the same as we expected. It can help us talk about this and see that we’re not alone. Adjusting to the Fourth Trimester take some time. As February was the “month of love” I joined the group and we did a self-love based expressive arts tool. Who says watercolour painting is just for kids??!
*Maternal Goddess Conference: This was a fantastic day, where the focus is on celebrating and embracing our postpartum bodies. I was part of a panel discussion on creating a more positive Mindset and Acceptance of our bodies.
*At Tokki, i spoke about one of my favourite topics – how to build your postpartum wellness toolkit! We brainstormed on how to add more self-care to your life, and how to get the balance you deserve.
*Ontario Early Years Centre – Self-Care Ideas for Postpartum Period
*Nutmeg Moms Group – Building Your Postpartum Wellness Toolkit
*4 Trimesters was a conference that focuses on the 4 trimesters we go through when we are thinking of and becoming pregnant, and the first few months postpartum. In Fall 2017, I spoke about How We Process Our Birth Stories. Check out this link to get more info!
