Dandenong Ranges Pregnancy Circle Series. 3 consec Tues mornings. August

Are you craving connection and community with other pregnant women?

Do you wish there was a place you could skip the small talk, cut the BS and talk freely with others?

Are you always rushing in your day to day life and need an excuse to get still, get into your body, out of your head and really be present in your pregnancy journey?

Then my pregnancy circle series is for you!

We will talk, laugh, probably cry, drink tea, eat yummy snacks and move through some rituals and practices together.

Dandenong Ranges Pregnancy circle series. 3 consecutive Tuesday mornings. 10am - 12pm each week.

Older children welcome to this event.

My circles are first and foremost about connection, story sharing and having fun. These circles will be a relaxed, welcoming and intimate gathering of pregnant people. You do not have to be a certain type of women or be planning to have a certain type of birth to attend. This is a non judgemental and warm space to be seen and heard in your journey however that looks for you.

When women gather intentionally, magic happens. Each gathering will include grounding exercises, guided meditation, journalling, individual uninterrupted sharing, intention setting, connection, ritual, themes, and fear and emotional release.

No prior circle experience necessary. I love welcoming complete newbies! It is not as scary or intimidating as you think it will be.

Each week we will dive into a different theme: Week 1: The emotional and spiritual experience of pregnancy & Connecting to your intuition, body and baby. Week 2: Birth dreaming and affirmations & Childbirth as a rite of passage & fear release. Week 3: Your postpartum and the fourth trimester & Matrescence and motherhood.

I am a postpartum doula, matrescence educator and guide and motherhood practitioner. I also have training in birth debrief and story telling. That means, that I have specialised knowledge and can support you in your pregnancy, early postpartum, and motherhood.

Circle is a chance to take time out from the everyday and have a moment to reflect and just 'be'. Pregnancy can be a wild ride. Often experiencing things for the first time (even if it isn't your first time!), it can feel isolating and intense, joyful and incredible.

Circle can be a space to reconnect with yourself and your intuition, connect with other women on the same journey and feel deeply heard and seen in what you are experiencing.

All experiences welcome, no matter where you are at on your pregnancy journey or how many children you have. LGBTQIA+ friendly event.

Herbal teas, snacks and nibbles will be provided. Each participant will a receive a journal to use throughout the circle series.

$ 50 per circle. Commitment to full series is required so that we have the opportunity to build community and deep authentic connection. Total cost for 3 week series is $150.

When you book, you book to attend the whole series - all 3 Sundays. This way we can build connection, community and really get to know each other in the group.

Concession card holders and single parents rate: $40 per circle. $120 total cost. Please contact me and I'll set up seperate payment for you.
