Where are you?

Warners Bay! (you might recognise the building as the ex Willows Function Centre? or the Uniting Church grounds? Thanks to the down to earth, community minded and friendly Uniting Church congregation, we do our community work from their back/middle rooms amnd halls).

My friend told me I should come.... what do you do?

We emotionally support women to be FULLY HEARD. We support the WIDE array of womens choices - for all things! Come for a chat, support, Doula Q&A, birth education, library, preloved maternity, breastfeeding, baby wear (excellent condition)... we also do holistic affordable events. Eg Prenatal Yoga, Mums and Bubs Programs! (and Not-for-profit Hypnobirthing! Nats' unique style!)

Respect and honour to the Awabakal and Worimi people as the original and wise custodians of this land. Honour to those who have birthed and breastfed their babies on this sacred land for more than 65,000 years. May ancient wisdoms find their way into the hearts of all.
