Sue Power

THRIVING as a New Mother is a unique and supportive space for mothers and their babies from birth up to approximately six months of age. The group is facilitated by Sue Power. These groups run consecutively every 9 weeks in Thornbury at Autumn Retreat on Miller Street.

Sue aims to provide a safe, non-judgemental and nurturing space that offers you an opportunity to explore with other women, the many new experiences of becoming a parent. Through the support of the group the aim is to help you find your own way whilst also finding new perspectives and access to your unique inner wisdom and knowing, that will support the decisions you make as a parent. This is not a 'how-to-parent' group. This is about reconnecting with yourself, strengthening relationships and building your community. 

Over the 9 weeks we will explore practices that allow you to be more present and connected with yourself, your baby and in other significant relationships in your life. We also aim to put a little in the tank through this time allocated for you each week.

Each week a different theme is explored. These include identity, love, relating, sexuality and pleasure, family values and rituals, community and creative parenting. This course is all about you and supporting you in navigating this extraordinary and momentous transition that is often misunderstood and undervalued. This is not about adding something extra to your list of ‘to-dos’. Self kindness and compassion, relating and communication skills are key foundations of the course. 

The full cost for the entire 9 weeks is only $380 - approx $40 for 2hrs of support and nurturing each week. If you are experiencing financial difficulties please be in touch to discuss options and arrange a payment plan. If you have any concerns or questions please get in touch.
