I’m Rach, founder of Three Little Birds. The story begins one sunny morning when I was standing in my kitchen feeling less than fabulous. I usually pump out some uplifting music when I am sleep deprived. And feeling isolated. And wondering how can we make today different from the Groundhog Day of every other? Having three little kids within the space of 3.25 years will do that to you! The next song on my playlist suddenly started beckoning to me “everything’s gonna be alright”, and as luck would have it the message got through because that line is repeated a lot. It’s basically the entire song. Thanks to Bob Marley and his song Three Little Birds, that morning, I began to dance. I scooped up my kids one at a time and twirled them on my hip, dipping and singing into their tiny faces. In the song, Bob is visited by three little birds outside his window with a message of love for him. He was probably a little bit high, but that is a story for another time. I suddenly looked upon my three little birds that I had in my kitchen in a new light. No matter what kind of mishap or struggle I was going through, I thought, if these birds had a message for me it would be - “Don’t stress Mama! You are enough! We are ok. And everything’s gonna be alright!” And so the name for my new venture was born.
As a Clinical Psychologist I have always worked with kids and families and have loved seeing them grow and flourish. I truly love kids, and babies. They seem for me to make everything ok. Just looking into their pudgey little faces. They have so much potential, so much energy and life inside of them. So much them-ness. I now understand that that can very easily become lost when it comes to the exhausting drudgery of parenting. I was shocked myself to find that when it came time for me to begin having children, I didn’t hear anything in the pregnancy brochures about how to navigate this life-altering and self-altering event we call Becoming a Parent. I’ve come to realise that it truly is a process of “becoming”, and that becoming doesn’t happen immediately or indeed completely. We all need to dig deep within to support ourselves in and through the challenges of parenting. And indeed, it takes not just ourselves, but a village. I hope that you can make us at Three Little Birds a part of your village on this journey of becoming.
