Postpartum Group for Mothers and Babies or an Emotional Retreat for Mothers
This group is consisted of constant members; this means a closed group of mothers who meet 8 times every 14 days. If interested, they can continue for 2 more meetings. This is not a therapeutic group. It is a conversation group, where topics are defined in advance and concern the emotional challenges that new mothers face. The birth of a new identity, tackling the countless new responsibilities and worries can be demanding. Often feelings arise that we must share with someone caring. Somewhere where we feel safe and understood. And where we can see that we are completely normal. This group prevents and does away with emotional turbulences that often appear in the postpartum period. There is respect for differences, different opinions in the group; there are no comments or critic, however, there is sharing and empathy. This is like a bouquet of differences that form a nice and harmonious whole.
Mothers come to meetings with their babies, they can feed them or change diapers, put them aside when babies sleep. Coffee and cookies are served.
In one calendar year, there are two cycles of group meetings; the first starts at the end of September, the second at the end of January.
The dates of new groups are regularly published on my FB profile.
Prices:
– 20 EUR per meeting = 160 EUR;
– when paid in advance, there is a discount for one meeting; this means 140 EUR
– The meetings are held at the Lila centre at 12 Kogovškova Street in Ljubljana. They always take place in the morning.
– I accept applications by email simone@roditiznasmehom.com
Pospartum Help
As a mother of five I am well aware that life with one or more small children is no small endeavour. Not only that it is strenuous and requests can overwhelm us, it is also emotionally taxing. If we have had a fulfilling childbirth experience, we can draw on the strength we got and thus overcome the motherhood challenges in front of us. If we don’t have such experience, and there are a lot of mothers with a difficult birth experience nowadays, then it is hard to find trust in our own capabilities and strength for tackling everyday hardships in caring and raising our children.
As a postpartum doula I help mothers in the early days of motherhood. I help with breastfeeding problems and baby handling. I give advice regarding food and personal care, give some perspective about the new period of life and changes that the life with a baby brings.
I help with minor household tasks and baby care, if mother wishes so. The postpartum help is always a matter of an individual agreement, of needs and wishes of the new mother with a baby.
