It's August Mothers Circle already! Which means that spring is almost upon us 🌷

Leaving our winter hibernation can bring up all kinds of emotions, from change in sleep patterns for little ones to feeling the need to spring into action (pun intended) when our bodies are still needing a slower pace.
If one thing is for sure in Motherhood, it's that change is inevitable.

This month, we'll focus on how to stay grounded when everything around us is moving so quickly, from the seasons, our babies' milestones, to the pressure to 'be productive'

Join us on 27th August, 10.30am we'll have the coffee waiting ready to share this wild ride of motherhood

✨️ In the Directory - Clinical Homeopathy ✨️

Sheetal is a qualified Homeopathic Practitioner, originally from South Africa, where she studied for five years and ran a private practice for ten years before moving to New Zealand in 2018. Her journey here has been full of growth, change, and deep inspiration.

Here's a little more on her story and how she can support you and your whanau in your journey:

I spent five enriching years in Auckland working with The Natural Health Co, where I not only expanded my knowledge but also developed a deep appreciation for the unique culture and people of New Zealand. Later, my family and I moved to Queenstown, where I worked at Antidote Pharmacy and practiced homeopathy from a health store in beautiful Wanaka. Although our time in the South was vibrant and full of learning, we found the lifestyle quite expensive and eventually made our way to Nelson—a place that now truly feels like home.

A year ago, we settled in Stoke, and I’ve recently opened my homeopathy practice here. I’m looking forward to supporting the local community with natural, gentle, and effective healing.

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine that works energetically to support the mind, body, and spirit. It is safe for everyone—from newborns and pregnant mothers to the elderly—and is often sought as an alternative to conventional drugs, especially by those looking for something kinder to the body.

Our remedies are derived from plant, animal, and mineral sources and are selected based on the individual’s unique physical, emotional, and mental state at the time of consultation. With a repertoire of over 4,000 remedies, every person’s healing journey is approached with deep care and individualisation.

I saw this saying or something similar posted a while back, and honestly, it's been living in my head rent-free.
So many of us are walking around trying to make sure we look like we have our sh*t together 24/7.
I. Am. Not. Together.

I don't think there's been a time yet when I've talked to a mum, and we've both just been honest and vulnerable, that I haven't walked away feeling more seen and less alone.
Sharing minimises shame, guilt, isolation, and BUILDS connection.

Most of my best friendships are built from times we've supported each other in our most vulnerable moments. I don't want an Instagram perfect friend. I want an authentic one who's willing to get into the hard stuff alongside me... just saying

Kia ora all,

Birth Wisdom – Empowered and Home Birth Golden Bay is bringing a new Home Birth doco to the Village Theatre in Golden Bay this Sunday 9 February at 1pm. The film explores the experiences, challenges and power of home birthing in Aotearoa, highlighting personal stories and expert insights to encourage informed discussions about place of birth options. The film is produced by Sarah Dow, directed by Isaac Te Reina and funded by Health New Zealand.

Here is a link to the trailer: https://youtu.be/WkekL_QdLsI?si=WW5xbU-Rti9KtvJ0

The tickets are discounted to $15 for an adult and you can buy them online (https://www.villagetheatre.org.nz/) or at the door. It has a 45-minute run time and Alesha and I will bring drinks and snacks for afterwards, free to share with an optional koha. No money being made here, just sweet, sweet community.

We’d love to see you there.

Aroha nui,

Kirsty

Our circles are a huge part of what we do.
If I'm honest, it's my favourite part 💙

They're all about connection, being heard and nurtured by other mothers and cutting through the small talk, sharing how we really feel about Motherhood, our relationships, sleep, feeding, our identity, pelvic floors and SO much more.
Honestly, if you've thought it as a mother, we've probably talked about it.
We have new mamas joining all the time, and we encourage you to show up even when the night has been long and you're rocking the messy mum bun

We're all mums, so we get it if you're running on mum time or just want to sit and not share, sometimes the company is enough.

There's always a hot drink and, most of the time, there's time to drink it ☕️

We weren't meant to do this alone and at our circles, you don't have to! 💛
