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.

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.

Communication, and Intimacy

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.
