We had a lovely gathering last week with 4 mamas joining us to dive in for some nourishment and nurturing! The weather was absolutely divine and we gave our massages in the sunshine while the bubs played and had a few cuddles. Check out our divine spread for morning tea! Our custom massage blend this time included Ylang ylang and Lime doTERRA essential oils, plus we made up a custom roller blend for one mama who needed some support with sleep ☀️💧🤰🤱😴

Welcoming Holly, Dr of Chinese Medicine, Art therapist & Massage therapist as co-facilitator of Canberra Pregnancy and Postpartum Village!

"I found my passion for assisting with women's health, pregnancy, birth and post natal recovery through birthing my own 3 children.

Experiencing and offering the benefits of acupuncture and acupressure through pregnancy and beyond has truly activated me into a great sense purpose in this area.

I bring my nurturing presence, wisdom and experience to The Post Partum Village to offer the group acupressure massage, tips on diet therapy and specific practices for post natal healing integration and regeneration."

Looking forward to having Holly on board as we grow our tribe this year

Our November gathering was divine, 3 new mamas and one mama to be came together to share how life was flowing for them. We ate home made raw chocolate infused with doTERRA peppermint oil, hommus sprinkled with cumin and quinoa crackers, and my delicious zucchini, potato and almond meal soup with buttered bread for lunch 🍵 Shoulder and foot massages followed. The babies enjoyed their mums relaxed vibes, feeding and snoozing for most of the time. As we would expect! We welcome all new and expecting mamas to join us and would love to grow our tribe as each month goes by 💗💗💗

We had another wonderful gathering today. All the mamas left feeling super nourished and pampered. On the menu was this Maple and Cardamom Loaf plus Chunky Vegetable and Lentil Soup from the Adorabirth Ayurvedic meals menu. Foods that support the body as it heals from the hard work of pregnancy and birth

💗 🤰💗🤰💗🤰💗🤰💗🤰

Our massage blend today was a combination of geranium, lavender, lime and fractionated coconut oil. Looking forward to sharing more of these practices and nurturing our growing village at the next one on Wed October 18th
