Most sessions are held at the Health Sanctuary in Bondi, However, PIcturing Motherhood can come to you! All you need is a minimum of five mums for groups and a suitable space - even around a kitchen or dining room table works well. The rest can be brought to you! It is also possible for home visits to be organised for Individual sessions as required.
GROUPS FOR MUMS
Art Therapist Kellie Miles, works with small groups of expecting mums to overcome any anxiety leading up to the birth. The focus is on positive visualisations through meditation and the creation of a series of artworks around your baby and your upcoming birth. You do not have to feel very artistic to benefit! The process allows you to ease into the artwork and enjoy your own natural creativity. You’ll be surprised with what you create and how this can assist you with preparing for a positive, anxiety free birth.
We can also assist you to consider your expectations of what life as a mother will be like - a creative way of preparing to move gently into the role of motherhood. Here we can look at your hopes and dreams for you, your family and your baby.
This becomes a wonderful way of getting in touch with and expressing all the amazing and sometimes overwhelming feelings you have at this important stage in your life!
Investment: Creative sessions can be held as one-offs or as a series of morning sessions or a full day workshop. The choice is yours! Prices range from as little as $45.00 per person (with groups of five or more) for a 2 hour session in your home or at the Health Sanctuary, or $130 per person for a full day workshop (7hrs). This price is inclusive of all art materials as well as travel within a 25 km radius of Bondi. The full day workshop at the Health Sanctuary includes lunch and morning tea. A small travel fee will apply for Sydney locations outside of this radius. Please note that these costs do not include the childcare option.
Art Therapist Kellie Miles, works with small groups of mums to assist them to get back in touch with themselves. Often the period following birth and the few years beyond can be a whirlwind of activity and emotion. During such an important and responsible time, it’s sometimes possible to get a little lost or overwhelmed by this new role.
Picturing Motherhood provides creative and gentle ways for women to get back in touch with themselves - the woman behind the mother! Through tapping into creativity, expression and vibrancy, you are strengthening you own conneciton with yourself and staying true to you. This in turn, can encourage and support you to have a stronger connection with your baby or child and with your family. A nourished happy mum makes for a happy, relaxed baby, toddler or child.
Child Care Option
Please note that sessions can include you having your babies with you. However, as this is time for you, we can organise experienced carers to mind your children and babies in a room just next door. Thus allowing you the space to relax and get back in touch with you, whilst enjoying peace of mind, knowing you can check on your baby at any time.
