“Preparing you for your Fourth Trimester” Workshop

$250

Private Workshop

THIS INCLUDES

A private 2-hour hands-on parenting workshop held in the comfort of your own home! It’s a really fun, interactive and informative workshop that gives me joy to teach and to see so many parents leaving feeling excited, and empowered and ready to meet their little ones soon.

WORKSHOP COVERS:

  1. What the Fourth Trimester is, for bub, mum and family.

  2. What you will need for Bub’s arrival - where we chat about all the essential items, and those not so essential, and why, and I give a comprehensive list to help with shopping and setting up the nursery.

  3. Postpartum Care Plan - we cover all aspects of your postpartum, things to discuss as a couple about your vision for this special time, and practical items to consider like visitors, boundary settings, your relationships with each other and your wider circle, and the tasks that will be ahead that you can tag team with or find the best support for.

  4. This will be a practical hands-on session where you take part in how to hold a newborn (with lifelike dolls), nappy changing, swaddling, bathing, settling, and breastfeeding. And plenty of time for questions throughout the workshop.

Workshop: $250 (per couple/support partner)

If you’re wondering what to give to new or expecting parents when their little one arrives, the gift of postpartum support is amazing. If you’d like a gift certificate please feel free to contact me and I will send one to you. It’s a joy to spend time helping new families adjust to family life and I’d love to help your loved ones settle in.

2 Hour sleep and settling session

I’m often contacted by new mums a few weeks after bub has arrived, baby is perhaps unsettled, mum is exhausted and she just needs some support and guidance in knowing what is normal for a newborn and why her little one is having such trouble sleeping or settling. We talk about their sleep patterns, what is a wake window, how to recognise when perhaps they’ve been awake a bit too long, how long they may sleep and how to support them to settle off to sleep, and often to help understand why their little one is so unsettled. We talk about baby’s feeding also and how these all tie in together. So in this visit we chat all about what has been going on with their little one, check in on mum and make sure she is doing ok, and I share my experience learned over many years of caring for babies, in settling and feeding, and teach and instil confidence, so they feel calmer about knowing what it is their baby is needing. I continue to support with texts and phone calls as needed after the visit also.

2-hour visit: $180.00
