7 GREAT blogs for New Mums!

I put together this post '7 great blogs for new mums', because becoming a new Mama is a HUGE adjustment, right? It knocks us flat-consistently!

The simple fact is that learning HOW to care for a new baby for the first time takes every.inch of your brain cells.

In a different way than you have EVER used them before.

I was a primary teacher and also used to working with toddlers day in, day out prior to that. I was even called my smallest sister’s ‘second mum’ because I constantly looked after her!

But even all that experience doesn’t prepare you very well for the constant neediness of a new baby.

If you’re anything like me, you just feel like you are getting used to what your bub needs, in a good routine, and then BOOM!

It changes again!

So here we go!

I’ve put together this list of 7 beautiful posts with tipsand ideas for new mamas. I hope you enjoy this combination of experience andtips –but most of all that you can come away with SOMETHING for yourself ANDyour baby as you navigate that first year or two as a parent.

I Help Mums find freedom from emotional stress and overwhelm

• Ask questions, (lots of them) and every.single.client.so.far has had ‘Aha’ moments through the sounding-board effect of coaching with me,

• Go through emotional embodiment practices to help you actually feel and process the emotions that are ‘stuck’ or that you keep trying to escape from (when you are ready, always)

• Offer strategies around parenting (I have been coaching parents for over 5 years, and bring my teaching professional expertise to this)

I do this all via my Zoom consults, soon to be in-person consults offered too in the Geelong, Australia, area - but online to most places!
