25.01.2022 As we all take responsibility and socially isolate at this uncertain and overwhelming time, The Perinatal Hub has officially closed its doors to client work. . . We are lucky to be able to continue with psychology and naturopathy services via telehealth. This means we are available for phone or online consults, and are committed to continuing to support you at this time. .... . . Please contact us on [email protected] if you would like more information about our telehealth services or to schedule an appointment. . . . Sending you all love and good health. See more

24.01.2022 Is there joy, ease and lightness in what you are doing? Eckhart Tolle produces so many pearls like this. What comes up for you when you reflect on this statement? What can you learn about your present moment awareness?... I wonder what you will notice if you hold this in mind as you go about your day tomorrow? Wishing you all moments (or more) of joy, ease and lightness

23.01.2022 How many of these thoughts have you had today? Am I a good mum? I look at my phone too much. I am such a bad example.... Im so tired. I dont read to you enough. I shouldnt be finding this so hard. When do I get to be me again? Please, go gently. You are loved xx Image by @catiewaterworth

23.01.2022 Pregnancy is naturally a time of vulnerability and uncertainty. This is all heightened for pregnant women at the moment as we hear of changes to hospital policies and face-to-face methods of support needing to stop. . . Since closing our doors I have been working hard to create an online version of the Mindful Beginnings birth preparation course, and am excited to announce that I am now offering the one-day course online in April! .... . Here is what a couple of recent participants had to say about the one-day mindful birthing course. . .

22.01.2022 Spring has sprung and the sun is shining! Get outside into Nature and soak up some of her goodness! .

22.01.2022 Theres probably some part of you thinking here we go again... . Life feels incredibly uncertain right now with the rollercoaster ride of daily updates, statistics, changes of restrictions and talk of law enforcement and penalizing by force. It may feel overwhelming at times. .... As difficult as it is to find comfort in uncertainty, there can also be freedom when we find ways to let go (little by little or a lot all at once), and SURRENDER to the things we can not control. Lean into TRUST and focus your energy on the small bubble around you and your loved ones, the things you can control. Here you can find certainty and a sense of grounding. . These times have presented challenges for most of us whether it be work related, family related, health related, emotionally related etc- but finding ways to reframe our perspectives and surrendering to what is - in order to achieve the best outcome, even if you dont know what that is yet! . Trust, release the fear and need to control and surrender to the unknown outcome. Look for joy in the small things along the way... . The Perinatal Hub is deemed an essential service and we will remain open during this next period of lockdown, offering both telehealth and in person appointments to support your wellbeing. We are here for you... . .

21.01.2022 To all the mums out there...

20.01.2022 SELF CARE ok, so we know that no one can fly to Bali right now and indulge in the tropical bliss we are looking at in this picture... BUT... we do have the ability to set aside time for ourselves (that thing we call ‘me time’), and create an environment that makes us FEEL good. . Whether it’s blocking out an hour before bed to light every candle in the house, run a bath, chuck in a handful of magnesium or Epsom salts, close the door, turn out the lights and then slide on i...n to your happy place - or plan a weekly surf with a buddy, or get your toenails painted, or take your favorite book into the backyard while your baby sleeps, or take yourself out for lunch guilt free - or whatever it is that makes you FEEL nurtured and fills YOUR cup- try to make it a regular part of your weekly routine. . Too often, the ‘self love’ conversation only arises after we hit burnout or are fatigued from taking on too much without downtime. . Setting up 2-3 regular ‘mini moments’ in your weekly schedule can help support better balance in the self love department, and make all the difference! . Look at your days and work out where you could schedule in that meditation class, do an online exercise class, swim in the ocean, have a massage, sit in the garden, dance to your favorite tunes etc... you are worthy! . Remember also (especially parents) that we are modeling what self worth and self love looks like to our kids, so SHOW them by example! . How can you practice more self love? . . . . #selflove #gratitude #nurture #nurtureyourself #fillyourcup #heart #soul #selfworth #parenting #family #parentingjourney #restore #timeout #bath #massage #meditation #candles #torquay #surfcoast #janjuc #bellsbeach #motherhood #perinatal . . .

19.01.2022 MEET NICK . The Perinatal hub is on a mission to support not only the women in our community, but also our men. . .... Often its the men who wont go out of their way to seek help or support when they really need it. . . The notion that real men dont need help, or that its weak to show any vulnerability as a man or even that talking about feelings as a man is not considered masculine at all - are very outdated and simply not true. We ALL need help sometimes. . . We know that our men need to acknowledge and heal their personal challenges and wounds just as much as our women do, and we certainly know that talking with professionals in a safe and confidential environment can support this process, and positive outcomes immensely. . . Our newest team member at TPH, Nick Columb, is a qualified Mens counselor and is passionate about offering support to all men, and in particular those who may find it harder to break through the old notions of what it is to be a man today, and reach out for an ear. . . With the statistics around men battling mental health issues such as anxiety and depression growing rapidly, we need to let our men know we are here to help and that there is strength in vulnerability... reach out!!! We will listen and not judge you. . . So if you know anyone who may benefit from seeing a Mens counselor on the surf coast, spread the word that we have a fantastic one consulting from our hub! . . Nick is in clinic Mondays starting 3rd August and will be running some profound workshops for men in the coming months also. Please contact him on [email protected] for appointments and enquiries. . . We are so grateful to be able to offer specialized mens services to our local community and will also be launching our unique dads groups soon too... stay tuned! . . . . . #menscounselling #menshealth #mentalhealth #realmendotalk #support #areyouok #dadsgroups #seekhelp #strengthinvulnerability #emotions #navigateyouremotions #healing #ask #stress #wellbeing #createchange #theperinatalhub #therapy #surfcoast #torquay #janjuc #bellsbeach #greatoceanroad See more

17.01.2022 All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone," wrote the French philosopher Blaise Pascal. Most of us spend virtually no time with ourselves, no time with our mind and the contact stream of thoughts that flow through our heads. Life is busy, and we tend to seek out distraction from ourselves wherever possible. And now here we are, at home, ALL THE TIME!... Is this an opportunity? Does the situation we currently all find ourselves in give us a chance to finally sit with ourselves, with our thoughts, with the discomfort that ensues? We tend to believe our thoughts, to see them as fact, listen to them, contemplate them, or as you know do anything possible to distract ourselves from them. Why dont you try something different. Lets face it, you have the time! Try seeing your thoughts for what they are: JUST THOUGHTS. You cant stop your thoughts from entering your mind, but you can choose how much attention you give them and the importance you attach to them. Allow yourself to notice your thoughts, even thank your mind for playing that familiar story again, but once you do, redirect your attention to something in the present moment. Something that is important to you. Connect with a friend (virtually), stretch, go for a walk, nourish yourself with some good food, open that book thats been sitting next to your bed for too long. If we all come out of this period of isolation feeling more at ease with ourselves, life would look quite different. And if you need support please connect with one of our psychologists at [email protected].

07.01.2022 A short update for those pregnant women out there who are wondering about vulnerability to COVID-19

07.01.2022 Infant Mental Health Awareness Week, 7-12 June. A week to reflect upon the important and unique needs of infants, with a focus on emotional and social development. #IMHAW20

06.01.2022 Dont forget the dads! This is often mentioned at the hub, as we recognize the emotional toll of fatherhood and the unique support needs of dads compared to mums. Some stats for you (thanks to the Centre for Perinatal Psychology):... - 1 in 10 expecting or new dads experience perinatal anxiety or depression in Australia and 56% do not seek support. - 43% of first-time dads believe postnatal depression and anxiety is a sign of weakness. The Perinatal Hub hopes to support the dads as much as we support the mums, as we are all impacted by the transition to parenthood. We are currently offering individual support for dads and there is much more coming up!

We miss being in our beautiful new space at The Perinatal Hub. While we continue to work remotely we would love for others to enjoy it in our absence. . ....

04.01.2022 CONNECTIONwe ALL need it... even the introverts! As humans we seek connection as a way to feel loved, safe, supported and a part of something bigger than ourselves. . There’s are numerous studies showing that maintaining connection to others, especially when we are feeling flat or isolated, can be incredibly beneficial. . Of course there are moments when we all enjoy time out from others, that is just as important - but reaching out to stay connected to others keeps us fe...eling connected to our ‘pack’, therefore we have a purpose in the greater scheme of things- we all NEED each other. . This year has been a great example of this. With the arrival of Covid people became fearful, withdrawn, we all experienced isolation and social distancing... which was nice to begin with (probably due to the fact that us humans were all trying to do too much - and the idea of some time at home with our families was enticing!), but in time as the isolation dragged on, people became restless, anxious, depressed, lonely etc... . Our lack of connection with family, friends and loved ones has had a real effect on humans. It has outlined just how important connection is to maintain a more positive and meaningful life. . How do you stay connected? . . . . #connection #basicneed #strongertogether #vulnerability #reachout #support #talk #listen #family #friends #therapy #psychology #perinatalmentalhealth #surfcoast #janjuc #torquay . . .
