We're excited to be back at Maternal Journal on Monday!

Join me for a creative 90 minutes, exploring whatever stage of the maternal journey you're in, or have been. Painting, drawing, scribbling, collage, poetry - allsorts of options and no pressure to create anything beautiful and show worthy - just create for creatings sake!

All materials included - £9 per session.

No need to be 'arty' - do some scribbles, you don't have to show anyone!

Booking via bookwhen, link in the bio!

Really lovely Maternal Journal session Monday. We used the support circles prompt, paints and pens.
So good to spend time thinking about this rollercoaster mothering journey, and thinking about where we get, or hold, support.
3 weeks left of the run, booking link on bio 😁

Fabulous Maternal Journal last week - looking at places we love.
Returning tomorrow with a new prompt - discount code for your first session -50% off with code 'first'
Booking page under bio!

Loving being back at Bumps & Babies and Baby café - including covering a fabulous colleague in Solihull as well as my usual time in Sutton.
We've been really busy the last few weeks, AND we have funding to train some more peer supporters - it's ace!

Maternal Journal sessions!
I've not done these for a few years, but it was so much fun last time!
Using journalling prompts from the fabulous we will explore different aspects of the mothering role - from motherhood to auntie duty to grandparenting. You don't have to be 'good at art' - you don't have to show anyone what you do if you don't want!
Come and join us, all materials provided so just bring yourself!
Babies are welcome (I'll have mine with me!), booking link in the bio of course!

Admin day...OH has both small humans so I'm doing admin for everything and NCT work, and of course Juno stuff too.
Yes I've also sent a LOT of reels to friends when I'm getting distracted! And let's not talk about the biscuits...

Smiles today: Squeezing some admin time into the weekend; feeling hungry and being reminded of a super study day yesterday.
We looked at more complex birth - induction, caesarean birth, assisted birth, updated guidance and different ways to facilitate the topics.
I really like study days 😊 - great way of updating/affirming knowledge with excellent folk, and looking at how to make that info accessible and appropriately shared with parents.

Juno 2024 in numbers - late, and most of the year was spent looking after a new tiny human!
Lots of exciting things happening in 2025 - new work projects, some personal stuff, and lots of meetings!
