Baby & Me Sound Rest - Gentle Sound Sessions for Postnatal Rest

You did it!

Your bundle of joy is everything that you always dreamed of and more. The milk drunk looks as your baby dozes off in your arms; the smell of their hair (seriously, do they bottle that stuff?!); the feel of their velvety smooth skin on yours; their little hand squeezing your finger...I could go on and on.

And yet, with all that magic and joy also come sleepless nights, a frazzled nervous system, relationship shifts, heightened anxiety, overwhelm....the list goes on and on. It's easy to see that the market is focussed and geared towards that of the baby post birth; mothers and the tremendous emotional and physical load that they carry is often an afterthought.

That's why I decided to create these nourishing Baby & Me Sound Rest session - with mums, dads, caregivers, grandparents in mind. Because those that provide care in those tender early days, desperately need it themselves. For babies up to pre-crawling.

There's nothing for you to do during these sessions but to simply turn up with your baby, rest on the mat (however that looks for you) and hope to get a few moments of shut eye whilst you and your little angel listen to some soothing sounds in the background.

We are not kidding ourselves here- babes will be babes. Tears, crying and all of the feels allowed. You are absolutely free to move, change, feed, carry, rock your little one whenever you need to. You can step out of the room at any time and we are not aiming for perfection (there's no such thing!)

I'm Theresa - a local mum of two young girls and I have held gong baths since 2018. I have played my gong and attended sessions during both my pregnancies and found it to be very soothing and calming. I also know what that first year of motherhood feels like and all the challenges associated with it - especially when you don't have a so called village around or any close family support near by.

If you have attended gong baths or sound meditations before, these sessions will be different as they will center around mums/caregivers and very young babies . Both with very delicate nervous systems. So the aim is to use the instruments gently (no over the top stimulating baby sensory vibes in here!!)

The instruments I will use will be played very gently and the volume level will be kept low - this is to ensure everybody's nervous system gets the love they need, whilst enjoying the celestial sounds of my gong, Tibetan singing bowls, rattles, shakers, drum and chimes. The last 10 minutes of the session will be available for snacks and to pull a guidance card.

The flow of the 60- minute session will look as follows:

• Arrival & Settling in
• Guided Meditation
• Gentle Sound Bath
• Reflection, Snacks
• Good Byes

I'd love to nurture and hold you during this tender time, whilst you hold and connect with your precious little angel. You absolutely don't have to be into the woo woo stuff to enjoy this sound rest session. Come as YOU are!
