Thank you so much for your time and input into this, I really value your opinion and I'm so glad you are here in this community.

I look forward to hearing your feedback and sharing more about this exciting new offer very soon.

Sending you love,

P.S If you weren't able to watch the video, here is a summary:

My vision is to create an online community of nourishment, support and wisdom for Mothers in the Early/survival Years​ (only you can define when that is for you, but approx. newborn to school age).

Because as you know, when you have your baby, initially you may be lucky enough to have visitors and a bit of support, but that very quickly peters out. However the challenges and the constant-ness of Motherhood continues for many years.

Yes, there are groups you can go to, some are hugely supportive, like the classes I offer in Folkestone, but after that 1hr is over - then what? You are home alone most of the time. No other adults to talk to. Triggers coming at you left, right and centre, extreme exhaustion and no way to hit a PAUSE button, so you can just catch your breath and reset for a minute.
​
In my survival years, I would spend many days home alone, losing the plot - feeling alone, feeling lost, feeling unsure, feeling anxious, feeling sleep-deprived, feeling full of rage, losing my shit, feeling shame, feeling guilt, feeling resentful, feeling like I was doing it wrong - with no one to ask or help me in the moments of crisis, accept some friends on the end of Whatspp who would listen to me sob into voice notes. (all interjected with some moments of pure joy, love and gratitude, which is what makes the whole thing so complex).

I wished I had an online community who I could plug into in those moments.

I wished I had some classes I could go to, to move, breathe, be held and supported, but without leaving the house on the days that it felt too much. Or when I didn't want to see other mums, but I still needed the support.

I wished I had a group of mums and a guide who could answer my questions or share my experience so I felt less alone.
​
I wished I could have had someone help me with my exhaustion and coach me through my anxiety and relationship struggles, and all the changes I was going through.

I would search on Youtube or instagram or listen to podcasts, but I didn't feel part of something - I just felt alone.
​

And now I want to create that sacred place for you.

I want to hold you through your changes/matrescence.
I want to be your guide/support and teach you about your body, and rest, and movement.
​I want to help nourish you (mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually) through your survival.
I along with the rest of the community I gather, want to answer your questions and help you release your anxiety.
I want to help you feel normal!

And this is what my new project is all about.

How would it work?:​
It's an online membership that provides ongoing, holistic and community support.
I'd offer short weekly live calls (once a week):
one week Yoga Nidra (for deep rest and sleep-deprivation relief)
one week movement practice - yoga or dance release session
one week sharing circle OR coaching session (perhaps with a specific topic I’ve decided or you’ve requested).
4th week - break for a catch up and in this week, I would add a recipe, or a prerecorded meditation, or anything else that feels supportive and appropriate for that month.
All of these can be done with your baby or toddler there, awake or asleep.

EVERYTHING would be recorded and go into a library that you can log into anytime, so you don't need to always be there live and you can pick and choose from the library as it build, from any resource any time (when you need it most).

​
There would be a community portal/group - a place you can log into to ask advice/vent/share. I'd share in there and you can chat to each other in there.

We'd have specific chat groups about Sleep, or Weaning, Or Teething, Or Nursery, or anything that feels like a common thread and would be useful to you.

It would be kind of like a cross between a Facebook group and a WhatsApp group but it's not on either of those platforms, it's only accessible when you log-in to your sacred space that I create (where the library it too).

It's basically your online Village.

​

​

So that's a summary of my vision for this incredible new project and I would really love your input to help co-create this membership, to make it the best it can possibly be for you right now.

So please take 5minutes to complete this questionaire so I can collate as much feedback as possible and get it right!
