Greater Manchester Doulas CIC would like to invite you to join us as we reflect on being wild women rising on this International Women’s Day. This is an opportunity to take some time out for you and join us in a guided, reflective space in celebration of our womanhood.

This is a guided reflection so no need to have microphones and videos on unless you wish to share towards the end. Take this time out to nourish YOU! So feel free to join in bed with little ones if needed, just come as you are, rest and ‘be’.

• What you will get from it : An opportunity to just BE! Being a woman, especially a mother, often means that most of our time is taken up attending to other people’s needs. This is an opportunity to take time out just for you. Where nobody wants anything, nobody needs anything - just some quiet time for you to reflect and nourish yourself.

• Who's running it : Greater Manchester Doulas CIC

* What it is: A monthly gathering for listening to and being with other women. After a quiet meditation to bring us all into the circle, we will connect as sisters in circle. We will hold space for one another and listen as each of us has the opportunity to share whatever is going on for us. No feelings are too big or messy or complicated. We are here for it all, holding each other in a safe, spacious container of compassion and caring.

* What they will get from it : Sitting in circle with other women is medicine for the soul. Even over Zoom it can be intentional and powerful. We hope you will leave the circle lighter, feeling more supported and connected to your fellow sisters.

* Who’s running it: Circles are held by the doulas of Greater Manchester Doulas, Elle, Lori & Amy. They have supported women for over a decade and came together in 2018 to ensure their women-centred support was accessible to all.

* Who suitable for: Any woman who is looking for more sisterhood in her life and wants to sit in circle with other women who will listen and hold space for whatever she has to bring.

* Equipment needed: Just your lovely self in a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Sometimes there is a lot of emotion in circles so have tissues and a drink to hand.

* Anything medical (E.G not suitable after 30 weeks): Whilst we will hold space for whatever you need us to, be mindful that this is not the place to process trauma. If you feel that you need more support after the circle you are welcome to book in a session with the doulas. 

Post/antenatal pelvic floor and core FREE workshop

Worried about your pelvic floor - want to dance or trampoline (or sneeze) without fear? Looking for a safe way to strengthen your core muscles during pregnancy or afterwards?

Join Kate for yoga-inspired exercises to help strengthen your pelvic floor and core muscles during pregnancy and after childbirth. Suitable for anyone from 14 weeks pregnant, 6 weeks post birth (10 weeks post c section), or any time thereafter (even if your baby is 4. Or 14.)

Can't wait to see you there. Yes, it might be a little odd to discuss this subject via zoom... And it'll probably get good n weird at some points 😂 But don't worry, we're all in it together and the session will take a light-hearted, informal approach.

Plus, a good, well established pelvic floor routine will set you up for life! So see you there,
