Vera Village
Mums & Bubs Group

Gather | Share | Connect | Redefine

Connection and community are the foundations of our Vera Village Mum & Bubs Groups.

This is a time to sit with two women’s health professionals and older mums, Lauren Williams, a midwife, and Paula Hindle, a holistic physiotherapist, who value the work of mothering. These women will empower, support and bear witness to this sacred phase of your life - motherhood.

Deepen your connection with self and your baby through our women’s circle with conversation, and physio-based yoga, pilates and relaxation practices over five weeks.

Who can join?

We invite all maternal caregivers with a baby aged between 4 weeks to 6 months to join our community and share your experiences, worries, parenting successes, and hardships. Make new friends, learn something new each week and enjoy this time to focus on YOU! You will leave feeling rejuvenated, nourished and connected to our Vera Village.

We intentionally keep our Mums & Bubs Group small. Places are limited to up to 8 mothers.

THE EXPERIENCE

Over five weeks we will focus on a key area to honour what you have been through, discover what has changed for you in becoming a mother and emerge with a new definition of self and connection to community. Listen, learn, laugh, move your body and reflect on stories told and the wisdom of each other. We are here to mother the mother, because the mother-baby attachment means what impacts one, impacts the other.  

Each session will incorporate movement with yoga and pilates.

The drive to the beautiful Samford Valley is part of the experience (with a chance for your baby to sleep in the car).

  • Week 1. Mother-Becoming and the Mother-Baby Connection.

    Week 2. First 1000 Days and Child Development.

    Week 3. Deepening Attachment through Baby Massage.

    Week 4. Birth Talk - Unpacking the Birth Plan.

    Week 5. Relationships.

    Every session has a relaxation practice with meditation and yoga, pilates to get you moving!

    You will also receive an invitation to join a private Facebook group to stay connected over the five weeks and beyond.

  • Life happens, things come up, babies get sick and you may not be able to attend one of the weeks. If this happens, we can link you with Microsoft Teams so you don’t miss out!

  • An upfront fee of $350.00 is payable for five (5) x 90-minute sessions.*
