Motherhood
ONE-TO-ONE SUPPORT
Deciding whether or not to become a mother is life-changing and multifaceted. The wish to have children may be fulfilled or not be possible. Each woman experiences pregnancy differently and giving birth is a unique experience filled with innumerable emotions. For many mothers, it is this big change (matrescence), that throws them off course after giving birth. These experiences range from unfulfilled expectations to severe depression. For many women, the first time with their child is an enormous burden and a major turning point in their lives.
I would like to give you a safe space where you can talk frankly about whatever you are thinking and feeling. I will support you, perhaps together with your baby or with the whole family. You are the most important person here, it is essential that you rediscover your inner strength and balance.

MOTHER & CHILD GROUP
Bringing a child into the world is one of the most intense experiences in the lives of many women. The period leading up to (and after) childbirth may cause increased psychological stress. A well-guided exchange among affected mothers can be both supportive and nourishing.
Wednesday mornings 10:00 to 11:15
SINGLE MOTHER GROUP
Being a parent may not always go as planned or hoped. Being a single parent has many unique challenges and can be lonely and tiring. An exchange with like-minded people may be supportive and uplifting.
Wednesday mornings 11:30 to 12:45
MISCARRIAGE & STILLBORN CHILDREN GROUP
Even though so many women are faced with a pregnancy loss in their lifetime, it remains a taboo subject. Feelings of guilt and shame are very common. Women need a safe space to be heard and understood, so that they can find a way out of their speechlessness together.
