4. Reported greater ease and comfort during birthing, reduced need for pain relief medication and medical intervention (forceps, vacuum) during childbirth.

​February is national Psychology Month and we are taking some time this month to explore how counselling can play a part in helping our community navigate the hills towards motherhood and create happier lives. We have created a few special workshops dedicated specifically to this and invite you to join us as we turn inward and focus a bit more on self discovery and self care.

Join us for tea and guided conversation about motherhood with Danielle Hulan (MSW, RSW).

This event is for you if you are experiencing some or all of the following:

• Missing your old self and life, and feeling guilty about it
• The presence of feelings or experiences that are not what you expected
• Challenges in your relationships with family members
• Feeling like you aren’t ‘allowed’ to have some of the feelings that you have
• Feeling like talking to your partner or family about this would make you feel like a burden, embarrassed, or a ‘bad mother’
• Motherhood is more than feelings of love and blissful connection. If you have found that there hasn’t been space for some of the other (harder!) experiences of motherhood, we welcome you to come, sit, and find comfort in this shared experience.

​
You will leave 

• Knowing you are not alone 
• Having greater clarity around your own experience
• Feeling heard and acknowledged
• Feeling more compassion for your motherhood journey
• With a better understanding of how to process and deal with these feelings

Come join us for tea and guided conversation with Danielle Hulan (MSW, RSW) on how mamas-to-be can move through the emotional and mental hills of pregnancy.

This event is open to all mamas-to-be looking to understand more about the following:

• Not feeling as connected to your pregnancy as you thought you would 
• Feeling guilty that you aren’t as excited as you feel you should be
• Feeling sad or anxious 
• Feeling disconnected from your partner or loved ones
• Looking for healthy ways to process these emotions

​
Learn, share and connect with mamas-to-be like you as you acknowledge some of the complicated, pleasant, or sometimes unpleasant emotions that can surface in pregnancy. This workshop will allow you to explore the full emotional and physical experience of pregnancy (the one that may not be always be captured in media). ​
