Join us on Wednesdays in Orangeville for Nurturing Beginnings. We will be open at 9:00am for coffee and snacks, with the facilitated conversation beginning promptly at 9:15.

This week’s topic is “Me Time - Creating Sustainable Postpartum Self-Care.” Self-care can feel impossible when you’re already giving so much of yourself to everyone else. 💛 In this group, we’ll explore how to recognize signs of depletion, untangle the guilt that can come with prioritizing your own needs, and redefine self-care in a way that actually fits this season of motherhood. We’ll focus on realistic, sustainable ways to protect small amounts of time and energy, ask for support, and regulate your nervous system—without adding another overwhelming task to your list. Because rest and care are not something you have to earn; you matter too. 🌿

Join us, alongside Tara and Jennie from DCAFs for mocktails to raise awareness for FASD. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifelong disability that affects the brain and body of people who were exposed to alcohol in the womb.
