Our new earlybird rate is now just $300 and includes accommodation, food, craft activities, selfcare workshop, women’s circles, goodie bags, a movie night, yoga, a one hour massage and the support of 4 caring [...] Moving your body in labour is also part of the process of moving into and accepting the labour journey. It’s an amazing transition, that moment where a woman walks up and down stairs in early labour and notices that the activity makes the contractions longer and more intense. She may resist doing this knowing what it brings, but then I gently remind her that the longer the contraction, the more effectively it is working to open her up to give birth to her baby. She has a moment where she realises that she has to move through and into the intensity in order to meet her baby. Avoiding that intensity or distracting oneself from it, can make labour longer and [...] Julie Williams (from Live Organic Health), Janette Adams (from Precious Packages) and I had the arduous task of having to taste-test some of the entries to our Mother’s Day Recipe Comp last night. We had about 11 entries to the competition, all with fabulous fresh ingredients. If you’d like to try out any of the recipes, just like the Mumatopia Facebook page and go to the discussion thread titled [...] Mumatopia is excited to announce our Mother’s Day recipe competition. The challenge? Create a recipe new mums would love, with real ingredients (no commercially processed food). Simply “like” Mumatopia on Facebook and post your recipe in the “Recipes” discussion tab on the Mumatopia Facebook Page for your chance to [...] I could call myself a baby planner, I guess, but my vision for Mumatopia is so much bigger than that. I don’t want to just offer a service which is a quick fix to busy mothers, I want to offer a service which makes a difference to their physical and emotional wellbeing in the long-term. As someone who suffered from postnatal depression and anxiety following childbirth, I know how important it is to have a support network around you during this [...] I am inspired to share this information about a remarkable new program: The Ecstatic Birth Tele-Summit: The Body Series- LIVE! (http://www.ecstatic-birth.com/courses/ecstatic-birth-tele-summit ) which kicks off April 20th. Sheila Kamara Hay http://www.ecstatic-birth.com/about/my-journey is bringing together some of the hottest teachers across disciplines to talk about living in your body, tapping into its innate power, pleasure and wisdom, and how to integrate that into childbirth!! This Tele-Summit is a huge opportunity for mums-to-be and birth workers to tap into an incredible wealth of information that can transform the experience of [...] Mumatopia is hosting support groups for mums-to-be and new mums at The Ellenborough Room, Precious Packages, 17 Ellenborough Street, Ipswich, starting in February 2010 and operating monthly from February to October 2011. The group meeting will start at [...] After a full day, I know we all function better if we have some downtime the next day. I wouldn’t expect my children to be the epitome of angelic behaviour in the supermarket the day after being at Southbank for a whole day and wouldn’t expect myself to be the most patient when I’m tired and out of sync with everyone around me. And yet, it feels like others expect that from me, all the [...] Registration is now open for Mumatopia’s Mums Retreat.
