Adjusting into motherhood is a very natural shift that takes a little bit of

ourselves and our families.

Our babies so very much feel nurtured and are soothed by the sense of
touch. Exploring baby massage techniques and practices allows bubs to
feel protected, held and supported. As Mums we can bond with our
babies and alleviate discomforts.

As new Mums, rest is very much needed as we balance out our energy
and adjust into a brand new phase. Incorporating this shift we will
explore soothing practices such as yin and restorative yoga that can be
shared and embraced with our little ones.
