Mindful New Mum ( HC )

Description

As a new mum, you may secretly wonder: “Am I up to the job?” With pressure on mums to parent perfectly and “bounce back” effortlessly and unsupported, all amid sleep deprivation, and brain, body, and relationship changes, it’s no surprise women struggle. You are not alone. Compassionate, evidence-based psychological ideas from clinical psychologist and mum, Dr Caroline Boyd, will ground you amid the storms, enhancing everyday connections to you, your baby, and the world around you both. Caroline offers gentle, realistic advice with a focus on mindful compassion – supporting you to develop a kinder relationship with yourself. She offers natural remedies to help manage interrupted sleep and strong emotions, healthy foods to boost energy and improve low mood, affirmations to soothe and support, and mini-meditations and longer meditative practices to calm and centre you and to share with your baby. Enjoy gentle, targeted yoga, with your baby and alone, to ease the aches and pains of early motherhood and build strength and flexibility. Use mindful massage to bond with your baby and nourish your body.
