We are passionate about caring for mum as well as baby. We provide a fresh, dietary sensitive morning tea professionally catered by local business Basics to Brilliance. You can choose to enjoy this during your session or take it home with you to help fuel your body later in the day. We also provide a selection of herbal teas and coffee.
In the final week of your program a photographer will join you to capture some beautiful images of you and your baby. As a celebration of your journey with Bump and Beyond you will receive one quality image to keep and a no obligation opportunity to purchase additional images if you wish.
WHERE IS YOUR BABY WHILE ALL THIS IS HAPPENING?
At Bump and Beyond we conduct our sessions in a relaxed and comfortable setting with an individual space provided for each mum and baby. Your little one will be right with you the whole time. You are able to move around, lay down, feed and change baby as you need. Your baby is able to stretch, play, have tummy time, feed, sleep and cuddle with you while we chat. Rest assured, our facilitators are no strangers to baby voices. They work with children and babies all the time so you don't need to worry if your little one is unsettled.
WHY JOIN A MOTHERS GROUP?
Motherhood is a tough gig and caring for a newborn can be isolating and overwhelming. In those early weeks and months it can feel like an absolute mission to leave the house. Connecting with women who are going through a similar experience to you is a wonderful way to extend your support network and encourage you to get out of the house. A regular outing is great for you and your little one and can do wonders for your mental health.
Through our holistic prenatal and postnatal services we aim to:
-
Connect you with other new mums and additional support services.
-
Educate and inform you about infant and child development.
-
Encourage you to get out of the house and socialise with your baby.
-
Nurture your insight and conscious connection with yourself and your baby.
-
Provide you with skills and knowledge to help better navigate pregnancy and motherhood.
-
Support you to build self-awareness and confidence in your new role as a mum.
-
Work with you through the multitude of feelings, changes and surprises associated with becoming a parent.
