'“Welcome to the Mummy Connection - a place where you can reconnect with your mind, body and other mums on this shared journey through motherhood”
Why I set this up:
In 2021 I became a mum for the very first time and the beginning of my journey was tough. I had an unexpected birth, I struggled mentally in the early weeks and I was doing all of this whilst relocating to a new place. I found motherhood really hard. In the months that followed I didn’t realise just how much time it would take to build myself back up again and how lonely I would feel. However it’s this journey that has helped me to understand what can be really valuable for mums in the early stages and beyond has been the building block to the program I have created.
In 2023 I started The Mummy Connection as a space for mums to reconnect with their mind, body and other mums. I experienced how lonely the journey felt at times for me and I wanted to create the space I was looking for at the time. After a successful first year and meeting lots of new mums through this journey I have decided to develop the program to what it is today.
About the session:
The Mum & Baby class is designed to be a space for mums in their first year of motherhood to get away from it all. A space in which to talk, to move and a chance to meet other mums. It’s a space to really look after yourself as a mum but also to connect with your little one at the same time.
Each session will focus around a different theme and use a mix of Pilates, Yoga, Breathwork and more to support your post natal journey. Post natal mental wellbeing is also key, so part of the session will involve peer support to help you with the ups and downs of motherhood.
The opportunity to connect doesnt stop at the end of class. I encourage the mums who join to come along for a walk followed by a coffee or lunch in Charlestown. We have teamed up with The boathouse, who will have a place for us to hang out and grab food/drink for those that wish to join. If for any reason you’re unable to join the class you are always welcome to connect with us when we head into Charlestown.
