Retreats for Mums : The perfect way to reconnect to you
Matrescence: ‘the process of becoming a Mother.’ This is a word I hadn’t heard of before becoming a Mum myself and frantically searching for validation that what I was feeling was ‘normal’. The physical and hormonal shift I was feeling, the intrusive thoughts and overwhelming anxiety. What was happening to me? Well, it turned out a lot of it could be explained by this new word that suddenly appeared on the screen in front of me. How could one word suddenly make me feel so seen?? It turns out the romantic idea of Motherhood I had fantasised about was far from my reality but when I tried to talk to others about it (not other Mums I should add) I felt dismissed, unheard or ungrateful. Then I began to open up to the ‘Village’ of women I had that truly did understand. This helped me accept the huge amount of change I was going through and was meant to go through. It was hard and scary to let go of a version of myself I had known for so long but with new found knowledge and the right support I slowly found my way to a stronger, happier me. A me that values rest, quiet and mindfulness. A me that strives to meet my needs as well as those around me. I recognised the power of having those women around me who were going through, or had been through, the same and how invaluable that support and understanding was. So thats why I have created my Retreats. A lovely, safe space for Mums and Mums to be to focus on them. To fill your cup, to reconnect with yourself and to speak openly with other Women who get it!
What makes my Retreats different to others? My focus is you, Mums and Mums to be. The Yoga, the women I collaborate with, the refreshments I provide they are all chosen for their ability to meet our needs. From refreshments that are nourishing as well as quick and easy to make in batches (yes, I recipe share) to collaborations with women who help to release stress and slow us down through art, floral arrangements and energy healing. Add a lovely relaxing yoga session to the mix and we have a blissful Retreat. The cherry on the top is you! Bringing together and empowering incredible women who have been there or are there is a magic all of its own.
So why not come along to one of my lovely Retreats in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham and give yourself some well deserved time for you. An opportunity to return to yourself, to reconnect and ground yourself in this, often, chaotic and wonderful chapter of life. For more details check out my Retreats page or get in touch.
