THE AUTHENTIC MIDWIFE

This workshop will be facilitated by midwife, yoga teacher and mother, Laura Hayward Alfia, also known as @theauthenticmidwife.

Mothering can be a wonderful but intensive, all consuming experience, no matter the age of your children. Matrescence (the process of becoming a mother) continues to evolve and transform, as our children grow and develop.

This workshop is designed to help you let go and nurture yourself. To put aside the ’to-do’ lists and just… tune into you. We spend so much time thinking about what our baby’s and children need that we can often forget what we need too.

The afternoon will include a nourishing and restorative yoga class, breathwork to help restore and regulate our nervous system and a guided meditation session, designed to help you let go of negative thought patterns and self doubt. It will also be an opportunity to connect with other local mothers and talk honestly in a safe and gentle space about our experiences of mothering. The workshop will end with setting some positive intentions, for ourselves as mothers as well as individuals.

The afternoon is designed to promote calm, and help you get back to the mother and woman that YOU want to be. It is a space for you to unwind, relax and let go. An afternoon free of expectation and chores.

This workshop is suitable for anyone at any stage of their mothering journey. Whether that be pregnancy and the process of preparing to mother, or the mother of a newborn baby, a teenager or an ‘adult’! It is also for all types of mothers - non biological or birth mothers, adoptive mothers, foster mothers and step-mothers.

This event is for grown-ups only. However babes in arms are welcome to join.
