Grounded Mothers


Grounded Mothers provides new mothers* with the knowledge, support and tools to honour their wellbeing and embrace the journey of motherhood. We understand the unique needs of new mothers, which is why our six week workshop series is specifically tailored to cater to new mums and their little ones from six weeks, to four months postpartum.

Each 75-minute session is carefully curated to address the different aspects of postnatal recovery. Here's what you can expect:

  • Circle Time: Step into a safe and supportive group where you can share your experiences and build connections with other mothers who understand your journey.

  • Movement: Our expert-led exercises and practical sessions are designed to help you regain strength and improve mobility, ensuring a smooth transition into motherhood.

  • Education: Gain valuable insights through informative sessions covering essential topics for postnatal recovery. From strengthening your pelvic floor muscles to practices that support your nervous system, we've got you covered.

Our workshops also include:

  • Pre-recorded videos

  • Q&A sessions with women's health physio, Laura Ham

  • Handouts related to weekly topics

  • Yoga sequences

  • Breathwork (pranayama)

  • Meditation

  • Community connection

Over the course of the 6-week series, we'll delve into a range of topics to ensure a holistic approach to your wellbeing. Here's a glimpse into what we'll cover:

  • Week One - Pelvic Care: Strengthen your pelvic floor and learn techniques to manage bladder and bowel habits, and returning to sex comfortably.

  • Week Two - Spine Care: Take care of your spine, from the neck to the lumbar region, and learn baby lifting techniques to protect your lower back.

  • Week Three - Chest Care: Nurture your neck, chest, and shoulders with movement, stretching, and strengthening. Learn strategies for managing mastitis and maintaining chest health for a comfortable feeding journey.

  • Week Four - Core Care: Activate your core muscles and discuss diastasis recti (abdominal separation) for optimal recovery.

  • Week Five - Wellbeing: Prioritise your emotional wellbeing with somatic practices, meditation, and mindfulness. Discover exercises that foster self-compassion and explore helpful apps and resources for mental health support.

  • Week Six - Posture and Self Care: Understand the effects of fatigue, baby carrying, and feeding, and learn strategies to mitigate the effects. Self-care is key to promoting overall wellbeing and navigating the challenges of motherhood.

Join us, Grounded Mothers, and embark on a transformative experience that will empower you on your path to healing and recovery.
