23.01.2022 What happens when we hold space for one another? When there is no need to fix, or change, or help the other? Simply to be with one another, to really see her, to really hear her, to just be with her.... >>> She relaxes, she releases, often times some tears. Shed been holding it all in, for so long, it has taken SO MUCH ENERGY, shes tired. She realises there is nothing wrong with her! She and you connect, over her vulnerability, your shared vulnerability, you realise you are different, but the same. Image: Arctic Moon Photography Retreat away! We love you.

17.01.2022 Whens the best time to come along to the retreat and whens your next one? Is a common question we have been getting. Theres no right or wrong. We even have had someone as early as 11 weeks come along once.... We set the date for the next one once the upcoming one is over. They can be 2 months apart or 4 months apart. Who knows! We go with the flow. Some of you have been wondering if you are too early to come? Like we said- theres no right or wrong. Some benefits of coming earlier in your pregnancy are: * Its more comfortable to sit and move. * You may have suffered with morning sickness and its time to change your mindset and kickstart positive feelings again. * You wont talk yourself out of what you are truly needing Some benefits of coming later in their pregnancy are: * You feel uncomfortable and want to feel more comfortable! * Its all fresh in your mind for your birth and babys arrival (however; if you come early in your pregnancy you will take on what you want to and this will last a lifetime!) Its up to you. Its such a great day. Mel & Cath x (PS- theres only 3 spaces left for the next retreat on Saturday 25th July. DM us for details & bookings) @arctic moon photography

17.01.2022 A massive thanks to the wombyn that came along to the retreat yesterday! What a day of self-care, nurturing & connection. Here’s a little video of the mother blessing. We will get all our photos together and post more soon. Thanks again. Our hearts are full and our souls are leading the way

17.01.2022 When you carve out space for yourself and retreat away, you feel empowered & authentic! You become aligned with life because your listening to yourself and not to others. (Even in pregnancy & motherhood!)... You hear the whispers of what your heart & soul truly desire. What an amazing gift to yourself, your growing baby and overall a HUMANITY. Us mothers need this. Mother Earth needs this! Come join Cath & myself out our beautiful pregnancy day retreat. Only 3 spaces left. Saturday 25 July 9am - 430pm. Heres the deets: https://facebook.com/events/s/pregnancy-wellness-retreat/142320337120769/?ti=icl We love you!

15.01.2022 First, REST. First of all, rest mamas, rest. The to-do lists will still be there when youre done. I promise, they wont go anywhere whilst youre resting!... Perhaps some things on the lists will hold less importance, or urgency, though. Nothing can be achieved with goodness from a place of over-whelm. But magic, flow, beauty, wholeness can sprout from a well-rested-woman. PREGNANCY WELLNESS RETREAT, JULY 25 2020 x Mel & Cath Image: Arctic Moon Photography

15.01.2022 The mind and body throughout pregnancy are not designed to take on and process the multitudes of expectations from others (and yourself), the over-thinking and over-doing of modern life, and the endless notifications from technology. Additionally, we now live in a society that values independence and the belief that we should be doing everything on our own (and perfectly)! Its no wonder then, that pregnant women are seeking a deeper connection with themselves, and also to g...ather in a more like-minded tribe. The physiology of pregnancy primes us for this. Contemporary maternity care tends to only focus on the medical aspects. The transition into motherhood is a time when the whole YOU needs to be the priority. Still, so many women are running on empty, or close to. It is vitally important to fill your cup first, before you can pour it out to others. Take the next step and invest in yourself!

13.01.2022 Do you feel guilty when you take out time for yourself? Maybe even selfish? Dont. Because for you to give to others, we need to give back to ourselves too. Still think its selfish? It might be, but at least dont put a negative connotation on that word!... Mel & Cath x (Next retreat: 25th July 2020)

12.01.2022 I (Cath) was born at 8.15pm on a Friday evening. I was the firstborn to my parents, young, madly in love, madly awaiting the arrival of their 2 weeks overdue baby! They had chosen a private obstetrician and a private hospital, believing (naively) that they would receive the very best of care that way.... My birth was not too challenging or traumatic, but it did awaken my parents to a different way of birthing. For their next two pregnancies and births, my parents chose to go through the public birth centre with midwife care. I was there to witness both the labours and births of my brothers, along with other family members supporting my mama in the home-like environment of the birth centre, with familiar friendly midwives wed built relationships with over the past 9 months. Childbirth is a journey. It is a transformative journey of growth, love and acceptance. Melissa Ayling - Retreat Leader, Hypnobirthing & Doula and I want to support you on this journey. We have been there, we know what its like. We have traversed this childbirth landscape intimately through our own bodies and souls, and through supporting other mamas (and papas) through their journeys. We know what its like to need to take time out, to focus on ourselves and our growing babies. We know what its like to need to be around other mamas you understand and are needing the same.

10.01.2022 Magic happens when women carve out space for themselves and retreat away... The oxytocin just flows & flows & flows igniting love, growth and transformation. A day of nurturing, honouring and uplifting as they transition into motherhood.... Healing within which heals without- all the wombyn that came before and all the wombyn that come after. A heartfelt thank you to the courageous wombyn that showed up for themselves and each other at the latest pregnancy retreat on Saturday. YOU are why we do what we do! Mel & Cath x PS- The next retreat is Saturday 31st, July! Here’s the details: https://fb.me/e/vPRHBAlM

09.01.2022 Melissa learnt about mother blessings throughout her second pregnancy and thought this is just what she needs instead of a baby shower. However; She didnt want to ask someone to do it for her as she wasnt too sure if they would know exactly what it was! She definitely didnt want to do one herself. Mel & Cath will be facilitating a Group Mother Blessing at our Pregnancy Wellness Retreat on the 25 July.... ? A Mother Blessing honours the mother-in-making, acknowledging her journey and gifting her strength and love as she embarks on the process of growing, birthing and meeting her baby. An alternative to the baby shower, the Mother Blessing focuses on the mother and her internal and external resources, rather than the gifting of things for the baby. If you are still having a baby shower... perhaps our retreat would be a great gift for yourself? Next upcoming retreat is Sat 25th July. https://facebook.com/events/s/pregnancy-wellness-retreat/142320337120769/?ti=icl Mel & Cath xx

07.01.2022 I used to push myself to excerise so much in my first pregnancy out of fear of losing my fitness. Even when I had morning sickness! WTF? Now thats will power! I would occassionally get up at 6am and go to the swimming pool and swim laps. ... I would get to the end and feel like I needed to vomit. I look back and I cant believe I never used to listen to my body like I do now. I have been on many retreats in my life now and one thing they always teach me is to listen to your body and its ok to rest if it is telling you too. What is your body telling you? * This pic is of me about 13 weeks pregnant with my first. My thoughtful Mother and Sister in Law bought this beautiful plate of food and the teddy around for me after I announced my pregnancy. I have a great poker face, I was so sick! Mel & Cath x (Our next retreat details: https://facebook.com/events/s/pregnancy-wellness-retreat/142320337120769/?ti=icl)

07.01.2022 Before you read on, please know we are far from perfect. We entered motherhood as women too! No qualification needed. However; to get to know us a bit more, heres some info about us and why we host the pregnancy day retreat: ... Melissa Ayling is a retreat leader, Hypnobirthing Australia practitioner and birth doula. She is a mother of two and has personally used hypnobirthing for both of her births- one in a car! Melissa admittedly found both of her pregnancies to be challenging. However; she discovered many life lessons that help her to understand, support and honour other expecting women. She believes that when you carve out space for yourself and retreat away... you feel empowered and authentic. You hear the whispers of what your heart and soul truly desire and live a more aligned life. What a gift to yourself, your growing baby and humanity! Cath has been working with birth and women for over 15 years. She currently practices as a midwife, doula and birth mentor, offering an array of services to pregnant parents. Her passion is to support and inspire parents to meet the wild beauty and raw intensity of this birth transition and rite of passage.

06.01.2022 As women we are innately cyclic. For centuries, we knew this in our bones, deep in our psyches. We cycled with the moon, with the seasons, with the sun and other planets. Nowadays, most of us need guidance back to our cyclic natures. Pregnancy offers (demands really) a perfect opportunity, a portal, to rest into our inherent natures, our animal instinct, our close connections to nature within ourselves and outside of our bodies....

04.01.2022 "At first I was hesitant to spend money on myself when as a mum you can see what else it could be for. I really enjoyed all the different ceremonies, they were all just beautiful, uplifting, positive and affirming. It was lovely to spend time with other pregnant women.

03.01.2022 In Latin placenta means round flat cake. According to some intensive research into birth history by the late Jeannine Parvati; The reason why we celebrate our birthdays with a cake each year is to honour our placenta! The candles apparently symbolise the umbilical cord.... The Druids were supposedly the ones that invented the birthday cake. After learning this, I always think differently of my birthday cake or if organising one for someone else! It’s nice to think there are still some ancient traditions in the western world especially where the placenta isn’t always honoured. This is a beautiful ‘love cake’ for all the wombyn at the most recent Pregnancy Retreat made by Sammy from Soul Nectar I wonder what dessert we will have at the next retreat?
