Accepting referrals for Term 3 💙

Our popular Mother Baby Nurture program is currently accepting referrals for Term 3 in Ellenbrook and Midland, open until mid-July.

We encourage you to join us for this free, 10-week program if you are:
💙 Struggling with your transition to motherhood
💙 Finding it hard to connect with your baby
💙 Feeling isolated, anxious, or low

Our trained facilitators provide a warm, welcoming space where you can share your experiences, grow your confidence, and deepen your connection with your baby.

Testimonial from Term 1, 2026:
“It was something to look forward to each week to have an open, non-judgemental space to share how I was truly feeling and thinking.”

We’re halfway through our Financial Capability Workshops, and they’re already making a real impact for the women attending 💜

Last week we covered practical budgeting strategies, and yesterday was all about realistic saving approaches no matter your income.

We have already received great feedback: “I hope they make these workshops more frequent as they’re very helpful.” 🧡

Still to come are workshops about understanding debt and credit, and learning how to recognise scams to protect your financial wellbeing.

These workshops are proudly supported by Midlas WA and facilitated by Azadeh from the Financial Wellbeing Collective.

If you’re looking to build confidence and take control of your finances, we’d love to hear from you! 🌟

Thank you to everyone who took part in our International Women’s Day raffle 💜

Following our event on 4th March with local leaders, and guest speaker, author and former ballerina Petal Ashmole Winstanley, we focused on acknowledging our incredible clients for IWD.

Women who visited our centre the following week had the chance to enter a raffle to win one of three beautiful prize packs, including a copy of Petal’s book Get Up, Dress Up, Show Up, generously donated by the author, along with other small treats. Our counsellors also had self-care gift packs to share with clients throughout the week.

Thank you so much to Petal for donating copies of your book. We’re sure the raffle winners will learn just as much from you as we have about courage, love and resilience 💜

We have lots of other exciting plans coming - stay tuned to be part of the next celebrations! 💚
