25.01.2022 Registrations are now OPEN for our first Kanga Powerhouse course! The course runs for 8 weeks on Fridays 6pm starting on 23rd April at Bounce Back Physiotherapy... & Osteopathy Due to the sensitive nature of the course, class sizes are strictly limited and enrolments must start at the beginning of the course. Booking your spot via the website: https://www.kangatraining.info/index.php WHAT IS POWERHOUSE? KangaPowerhouse is a program designed to educate, empower and equip women with tools to assist in strengthening the powerhouse of your body: Your Pelvic Floor. Many women have a weakened pelvic floor and suffer from symptoms such as leaking urine, passing wind involuntarily, reduced sensation during sex and the list goes on. It's common. But it's not normal and not something any woman should live with without seeking help. If you have a weak pelvic floor we always advise you to visit a women's health physiotherapist who will be able to do an assessment of your pelvic floor and come up with a plan for therapy. Endorsed and encouraged by Women's Health Physiotherapists, the KangaPowerhouse program can further help in improving the function of your pelvic floor. The program will teach you about the function of your pelvic floor, offer practical ways you can improve function and learn fun and effective exercises to connect with and strengthen your pelvic floor. Described as "Yoga for the Pelvic Floor" you will be empowered by this program and improve confidence in the function of your body, in a supportive and caring environment. #kangatrainingnarellan #kangatrainingau #kangapowerhouse #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorexercises #functionalfitness #empowerment

22.01.2022 I dragged my mum along to a screening of this wonderfully inspiring and empowering documentary tonight. There was lots of tears and a few emotional triggers but there was also laughter and incredible reminders of the strength of women during childbirth. I definitely recommend!

16.01.2022 Familiar face? Hoping to see some of you and your grown up Joeys at Kangatraining Kids next term

16.01.2022 There is a part of childbirth that is rarely shared and discussed and that is trauma. Birth trauma affects many women and their partners in so many ways. Just by sharing and talking we can encourage others to speak up and seek support

15.01.2022 ***Tigger Warning Birth Trauma *** September 6 - 12 is Birth Trauma Awareness Week. We want to acknowledge that giving birth can be a wonderful experience fo...r most families but not all... 1 in 3 Australian women identify their birth as traumatic. Partners can experience birth-related trauma too. "Please be aware that I don’t tell my story with the intention to scare (I’m currently pregnant with baby 3 so I wasn’t completely turned off trying again) but more to educate others in the ongoing physical and emotional trauma that can follow a mother (and her partner) for years after birth. We can never truly know what others have been through and are continuing to go through every day of their life. Also I would like to apologise in advance for TMI when you’ve had numerous doctors put their fingers up your backside you kind of become desensitised. I have very conflicting feelings about the birth of my daughter Charlotte 2 years ago and I think over time this had added to the trauma I feel when I have flashbacks to different aspects of the birth and my recovery. Charlotte was my successful VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) and as much as I wanted to yell I am woman, hear me roar from the roof tops after her delivery all I could do was question my decision over and over again and prepare for a very long road to recovery. I did everything in my power to prepare my body to push my daughter out of my vagina, including surrounding myself with a positive support system in my midwife, my husband and my mother (also a nurse). Some people understood my decision, some people did not and that was ok because my mantra was always ‘I can do this’ and I sure did. I had a straight forward and fairly quick labour with a good amount of that lovely gas to take the edge off, I had it in the bag. My body took over and I got on the bed to push. I was in a perfect upright position, on my knees and from memory pushed 3 times and she was out in the fastest time my midwife had ever seen. My mother remembers the midwife saying ‘that’s a big head’ and I later found out she didn’t crown. My beautiful daughter, Charlotte, torpedoed (for lack of a better word) out of me with no time to prepare. Her waters were behind her, her large head in front and I just wanted that burning sensation gone! At first there was drama because I was having a haemorrhage, so the gas was taken away to assist in my uterus contracting back down. Then they agreed I had a pretty sever tear, they though a 3rd degree at that point because they couldn’t see much through the bleeding but later confirmed a 4th degree after 3 hour of surgery, with an epidural, while awake. The doctor would never tell me how many stitches I had they gave up counting. A fourth degree tear for those playing at home is what I like to call a tear from front to back. I tore right through my sphincter. I was in some denial after my tear, I was trying hard to focus on the success of my VBAC and completely oblivious to the ongoing issues I was about to walk into. It took months for my scar to heal and I remember nearly passing out while sitting on one of those hard wooden chairs in a café with my husband around two months later. In the beginning I dealt with the usual post birth complications e.g. soreness, bowl movements, slight incontinence, painful intercourse, haemorrhoids etc etc. Eventually after a couple of months my emotional wellbeing began to faulter. I was disheartened by the length of time it was taking me to get back to normal. I’ve since accepted that I will never be the same. I have a team of professionals to see on a regular basis including obstetricians, colorectal surgeons, womens health physios and my GP. Although my complications are now minor compared to others with 4th degree tears, I still have ongoing and sometimes weekly or daily struggles. Ive been told that one day ill need surgery to repair my sphincter and more than likely have a prolapse. I am 20 weeks pregnant now with our third and my husband, my specialists and myself are all in agreeance that a c-section is the best way to go for my body and my recovery. My husband and I can laugh about my uncontrolled flatulence, occasional leaking wee wee and regular ‘sore bum’ most of the time but I know that the trauma of my birth affected him much more than he will ever admit. He saw me suffer in such a way he will never forget, and he saw it first hand as it was occuring. My trauma came later after things I had blocked out began to resurface and I learnt to live my life with a pretty horrendous injury. I am lucky to have found online support groups for mums dealing with the same things I deal with but I have also found closure in my Kanga community through sharing my story and experience with others. I am Kylie, I had a physically and emotionally traumatic birth but I am strong and I am proud and I will move on the best way I can! It was all worth it for my baby girl."

By raising our voices we can hopefully enable our care providers to improve trauma prevention and enable quicker diagnosis which benefits the whole family and our wider community. Support can be provided through the Australasian Birth Trauma Association Peer2Peer Chat Program. https://www.birthtrauma.org.au/ #birthtraumaawarenessweek2020 #breakthesilence #starttheconversation #yourstorymatters

14.01.2022 I thought I would be feeling happy, why do I just feel numb? Feelings can go up and down for mums and dads before birth and after. Please know it is OK t...o not feel OK. But it is important you can talk to someone who cares especially if feeling down or flat is hard to explain. This could be your partner, family, or health professional. They will support you, they will help you. To check the signs of depression visit www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bf-info/pnd #TellSomeoneWhoCares #PANDAWeek2020 #ABAIsHereForYou #ItsOKNotToBeOK

14.01.2022 Second Birthday This week at Kangatraining Campbelltown and Surrounds we are celebrating 2 years of classes in the Campbelltown area. I have been so lucky to meet so many amazing mummas in our community and watch them bond and grow with their new bubbas. ... I’ve watched mums become confident returning to exercise, in their baby wearing journey, in parenthood and within themselves. I’ve seen mummas return to classes with their second bub, ready to make time for themselves and their recovery and encourage positive life choices for the next generation. I’ve learnt so much about myself and my body and how important post natal care and recovery is to each and every woman! I have had fun, worked on my fitness and strength and enjoyed quality time with my children and all those women I now call friends. Thank you all for your support, to all those mums who have taken a leap of faith and come to classes, the Kangatraining Australia community for being everything you are and my husband and family for living the Kanga life with me! I will take a break soon to bring our new Joey into the world but am so excited to see what 2021 will bring in the world of Kanga! to you all!

14.01.2022 We are all brave, our stories matter, we matter!

11.01.2022 I am proud to share that over the past few weeks I have become a Peer Mentor for the Australasian Birth Trauma Association After my physically and psychologically traumatic birth in 2018 it was the Mums in my Kanga community who listened and supported and laughed and cried with me. It’s my turn to give back and I feel privileged to have been provided the platform to do this.... If you or someone you know is struggling with a traumatic birth experience please head to the Australasian Birth Trauma Facebook page or website where you can find a vast amount of information designed to support you and your loved ones. For those who need someone to talk with you can book in a time to chat via the website OR access the drop in chats on Mondays and Wednesdays at 1pm and 8pm. You may also like to join the birth trauma support group on Facebook to meet like minded women. If being a mentor sounds like something you might be interested in feel free to contact me or visit the website for more info! Website: https://www.birthtrauma.org.au/

05.01.2022 This beautiful mumma and her bubba boy graduated to a back carry this morning! They both did great! Look at that adorable face Mum said he felt so much lighter on her back as back carrying can do wonderful things for your posture! If your bub is old enough to sit unassisted and seems to be getting cranky facing in, contact me for tips on transferring to a back carry. PS can you spot the penguin?

04.01.2022 When we had our first born nearly 5 years ago my hubby started a regular dads group coffee on Sunday mornings with two of his mates who were also new to fatherhood. They started going when the babies were only a few weeks old and kept it up every week for years until Covid hit. At first he said he went to give me the morning off but as time went on I realised that he went just as much for his own mental health. The dads got to talk, check in and vent on the difficulties of becoming a parent. I’m so glad he found his own village but sad that many other dads won’t.

04.01.2022 I don’t know about you guys but Kanga was my saving grace when it came to baby wearing. Before Dani Austin introduced me to manduca at my first Kanga class I was wearing a cheap carrier that killed my back and wasn’t the best for my baby. There are so many people out there ready to educate and help. Thanks Brooke Maree- Babywearing Education & Online Store for being so honest and real.

03.01.2022 To all the beautiful rainbow babies out there and the ones we’ve lost along the way
