About the Courses

Your Changing Body: Embracing Change On Your

Motherhood Journey

5 Sessions: Jan 6th , 13th , 20th , 27th , Feb 3rd . (Course Cost: £175)

Our bodies tell the story of motherhood - but too often, that story is

marred by comparison, pressure, and unrealistic ideals. In this 

empowering workshop, we’ll explore how pregnancy, postnatal changes,

and life transitions shape our relationship with our bodies. Together, we’ll

look at how hormones, trauma, and societal messages influence self-

image, and learn how to rewrite our internal narrative with compassion

and acceptance.  

 

We’ll also touch on how body perception affects self-worth and intimacy, and conclude with a practical session on healthy nutrition and fitness- tools to help you feel strong, grounded, and beautiful in your own skin. 
 

Come ready to reconnect with your body, soothe the toxic voices that surround you, and rediscover the joy of feeling at home in yourself.

Motherhood and Changed Identity: A Torah path to

Self-Compassion and Joy

3 Sessions: April 14th, 21st, 28th. (Course Cost: £105)

This series of engaging and thought-provoking workshops invites you to

explore the deep emotional and spiritual transformations of pregnancy,

birth, and motherhood. Through Torah insights with guest Rebbetzins, we’ll

uncover the sacred meaning of creating a family and reflect on some the

big questions this gives rise to - including whether to grow it further.

We’ll be guided in understanding the powerful identity shifts that come

with becoming a mother and confronting the hidden “skeletons in the

nursery” that shape our emotional world. Finally, we will release guilt,

embrace self-compassion, and find joy and strength in the beautiful, complex journey of motherhood.

Connecting With Your Husband After Children: Calm,

Communication, and Intimacy 

4 Sessions: May 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th. (Course Cost: £140)

The transition into parenthood can transform every aspect of a marriage –

spiritually, emotionally, and physically. This insightful workshop series

brings together Torah perspectives, medical expertise, and compassionate

guidance to help couples navigate intimacy and connection during

pregnancy and the postnatal period. 

Join a range of expert presenters, in an open, respectful space where you

can learn, reflect, and strengthen the bond that sustains you and your

growing family. 

Bringing Balance and Calm To Your Inner World: Using IFS

To Support Your Parenting

5 Sessions: June 16th, 23rd, 30th, July 7th, 14th.  (Course Cost: £175)

Motherhood awakens so many parts of us -  The protector, the perfectionist,

the worrier. This powerful four-part series offers a gentle introduction to

Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful, evidence based approach that

helps you understand and care for the many inner voices that shape your

thoughts, emotions, and reactions.

 

Through guided learning, reflection, and practical tools, you’ll learn to get

to know your ‘systems’ - the ‘protectors’, ‘managers’, ‘firefighters’, and

‘exiles’ - and how they interact within you. You’ll discover how to

acknowledge and validate these parts of your inner-self by tuning into the thoughts, sensations, and feelings that signal their presence, and explore what these parts truly need to feel safe and balanced. As you learn to respond from your calm, centred Self, you’ll begin to bring balance and harmony to your inner world. Finally, we’ll explore the gentle process of healing the ‘exiles’ - the younger, more vulnerable parts that carry our trauma or pain – and learn how to approach this work safely, knowing when self-compassion is enough and when deeper support might be needed. 

This is a unique opportunity to deepen self-awareness, soften your inner world, and cultivate true Self-leadership, so you can parent, partner, and live from a place of calm confidence and compassion.

Mindful Motherhood: Tools for Emotional Strength and Calm 

4 Sessions: Oct 13th, 20th, 27th, Nov 3rd. (Course Cost: £140)

This workshop invites mothers and mothers-to-be to slow down, breathe

deeply, and reconnect with themselves during the pregnancy and

postnatal journey. Through mindfulness and emotional awareness, our

course leaders will guide participants in understanding their emotions and

finding calm through meditation techniques focussed on their body and

physical sensations, including a soothing “Safe Place” practice to take

home. 

We will explore how to build emotional regulation over time through

reflection and journaling, and combine grounding Jewish wisdom and

nature-inspired practices to help participants feel centred, spiritually aligned, and empowered in their motherhood journey.
