What Our Mums Say

What new mums say about Embracing Motherhoods postnatal programmes, services and the support for fathers and family members:

“It’s difficult to put into words the ways my family and I have benefited from the loving support of the Embracing Motherhood team and their thoughtful program. Having had postnatal depression after the birth of my first child, I was determined to do all I could to be prepared and make things better the second time around.

I think as women, we often give to everybody else first, and if there’s anything left over we think that’s all we deserve. I learned through my struggles that unless we look after ourselves, prioritising our own health and well being we can’t nurture those around us. We run on empty in our mothering role and hence our lives can spiral out of control.

So, when I think about what I gained from this culture changing program my immediate thoughts are of heart and soul healing. It goes beyond the benefit of massage, of eating right, of having the right supplements and advice. This program is about allowing ourselves to be valued as mothers, to be nurtured while we nurture our family, to feel important enough to be cared for, to have somebody cheer us on as we struggle through the best and hardest job of all.

Being part of Embracing Motherhood allowed me to send a strong message to my friends and family – I’m taking care of myself this time and doing that is paramount to everyone’s happiness.

I’m really proud of myself for investing in ‘me’, for rewarding myself for a beautiful pregnancy and birth, and for giving myself a gentle and loving start to motherhood this time. This was my way of honouring my journey and for setting the tone for things to come. The world would indeed be a better place for all mothers and their children if all mums had this loving wisdom embracing us on our journeys.

My heartfelt thanks to those who personally helped me and to those behind the scenes whose thoughtful intentions have manifested beautifully in my heart and home. You have made a gentle difference to this precious time of my life.”
Juanita, 36   (Esther-Rose, 10 weeks)

Taking time out each day for myself enabled me to more easily cope with the challenges of being a new first time mum. Also the supplements were excellent, and they were of a very good quality compared to what I was taking – I really noticed a difference.
Susie, 31   (Helena, 3 weeks)

I didn’t realise my body would be so depleted after childbirth, so I followed all the advice on nutrition, supplementation and rest. I have recovered quickly and feel I am giving my baby and myself the best chance at future health. Also, my massage therapist was amazing - she was friendly, genuine and understanding.
Suzie, 41   (Henry, 4 weeks)

I was on autopilot – the programme reminded me what I need to be able to best function as a mum and partner. I want to thank you so much – it has changed my lifestyle. I try to make time for myself everyday now, especially to do some of the yoga – I find it so beneficial. I feel healthier, have more energy and sleep better.
Maria, 40   (Hunter, 5 months)

I was reminded that nurturing myself helps my whole family. I really loved the daily massages – afterwards I was serene and am sure it helped me regain my tummy. Also the lactation tea improved my milk supply – noticeably!
Genevieve, 34   (Margot, 2 months)

I learnt so much about postnatal nutrition and really enjoyed the recipes – they were delicious and so easy. The whole programme was such a nurturing experience and sincerely beneficial. I know I feel and look much better. Thank you!
Katrina, 37   (Giselle, 8 weeks)

My Embracing Motherhood pregnancy massage was very enjoyable and relaxing. I also noticed a huge difference in my veins on my legs. The texture and colour looked a lot healthier. I wish I could have Sue here every day to have them looking and feeling as good as they were after the treatment.

There wasn't much argument on my part on just crawling into bed afterwards either... I slept for 2 hours following the treatment. Thankyou Embracing Motherhood for the wonderful experience. I will be in touch soon regarding my health consultation.
Rebecca   (38 weeks pregnant and loving it!)
