Post Natal Depression can come with a truck load of guilt, frustration, exhaustion, anger, regret, feeling like a failure and a myriad of emotions and numbness that not everyone will understand or even acknowledge.

I work with mothers as an objective listener, teacher and support person. I teach mothers both self regulation and Paediatric Massage to create moments of connection along with any other techniques that may be of service to mothers and their children.

Self-regulation techniques are important for Mums in those moments of overwhelm, stress and frustration. I focus on a ‘Mum first’ approach in a world where mothers can very much feel like an after-thought. Mothers desperately need to prioritize self-care and reconnection to their bodies in order to care for their children and they very much need to allow themselves to be a priority too.

I teach Mums how to use baby bodywork and Paediatric Massage to help connect and bond with their baby and/or children. It’s such a strong tool to utilize as a means of connection and discovery of their child, especially in a world of hurried schedules and overstimulation. This is such a gorgeous way to start to develop that bond and one-on-one play time between both mother and child in a calm, relaxed way that can very much help to develop that bridge in the fog of Post Natal Depression.

I offer a non-judgemental environment where you can learn some tools to settle yourself in those moments of frustration, ways to bond with your child and create a moment where you can step outside of the routine of struggling through daily life. I’m here to listen and I’m here to help.
