Bright lights, big gatherings and new faces, it can all feel like a lot for little ones. A good enough Christmas includes breaks, snuggles, and stepping outside when you need to. You’re not “missing out”, you’re tuning in to what helps your baby feel calm and secure.

A Good Enough Christmas looks different for every family.

A good enough Christmas is one where you take things at your pace and choose connection over overwhelm. That’s more than enough.

The six-week post-birth check is important, it looks at your physical healing and how your body is recovering. But it doesn’t measure the mental load of caring for a newborn… the feelings, the questions, the shifts in identity, the invisible work of tuning in to a tiny human who depends on you for everything.

If you’re feeling wobbly, unsure, or simply want someone to talk things through with, you’re welcome to contact GES at anytime.

We offer a calm, confidential space to pause and explore how you’re really doing, emotionally, mentally, and relationally. A space to share what’s felt heavy, what’s felt surprising, and most importantly, a chance to see the strengths you might not realise you have.

Because healing isn’t just physical.
And you deserve time to be heard.

Early connection lasts a lifetime.

The quality of your baby’s earliest relationships shapes how they feel, learn, and connect for the rest of their life. A secure start creates strong roots for everything that follows. 🌿

At Good Enough Start, we’re here to support you through those early days from bump to baby!

If you’re pregnant or have a little one, you can join us for free.

Our Book Club is all about sparking curiosity from the very beginning, giving you a beautiful collection of stories to start building your baby’s library even before they arrive.

But it’s more than books.
It’s about creating those meaningful moments together, the kind that help your parent–infant relationship grow through shared stories, snuggles, and time that feels truly connected.

If you’d love to build your library, discover new ways to enjoy books together, and have the resources ready for quality time with your little one… this is for you. It’s first come, first served. If the group becomes full, we’ll let you know and pop you on the waiting list for a space to open up.

You’re helping them learn that feelings are safe and that people can be trusted. These early moments build the foundations for lifelong emotional wellbeing and resilience.

We explore these everyday moments of connection in our groups, courses and time to talk together sessions. All with the goal of helping you build strong, secure relationships with your little one.

Share a story of you and your little one in the comments, enjoying time together at a GES group, at home, or out and about! Those small moments of connection mean so much.
