These flowers blooming on the windowsill reminded me of caring for ourselves as mums/ parents/ humans. We strive for the best. But we need the right conditions. Just like these flowers, we need the right conditions to grow and bloom. If we are stressed then the cortisol keeps us in survival mode, not thriving. This goes for birth and parenting too. If we aren’t being cared for, by ourselves and others then we can’t bloom. What conditions are needed is as individual as flowers and plants. Some need shade, others full sun. What do you need? What do you want? How can you support yourself to bloom?

Majority of our therapists will be able to see you within a week of you contacting us. Occasionally, our therapists are full so will use a short waiting list.

💐💪Happy Mothers’ Day! 💪💐 Motherhood is definitely undervalued as it’s the most important and powerful “job” in a society. Without mothers humanity dies.
Some days are amazing, other days are hard. Us mums are criticised however we choose to live our lives. Right from how we birth our babies we feel the weight of judgement from society and our own “am I good enough”. Breastfeed, formula feed, home birth, epidural, doing enough home work, going to enough “extra curricular” activities, working, stay home mum, screen time, good diet, enough holidays, etc etc.
All that really matters is you’re there for them unconditionally to guide them to be the best they can.
There’s no manuals for motherhood. We’re all winging it.
In case no one tells you today, You are amazing! You’ve got this!
