Mothering the Midwife

One-day wellness retreat for midwives and nurses

It is a deeply personal and unique journey to discover your soul’s purpose as a nurse or midwife and may evolve over time. What is shared, by all who hold this privileged title is the years of accumulated emotional residue from walking beside women and families on both their best days, and on their worst.

Caring for yourself physically and emotionally is essential for clarity, and maintaining self to avoid compassion fatigue and burnout as a person that holds a sense of service and professional responsible for caring for others.

We are offering you a day of resetting your nervous system with time in nature, creativity, movement & connection.

Location: Vera Wellness, 132 Foggs Road, Mount Samson QLD 4520

About Mothering the Midwife

For a female nurse/midwife your career spans across all the feminine archetypes (maiden, mother, maga, crone). In the tapestry of womanhood, each phase represents a combination of beauty, challenges and transformations. Living a cyclical life is about understanding where you are in both your own life cycle and bodily cycle, and how this is woven into your connection with others. Compassion fatigue and burnout is the result of not prioritising self-care and neglecting your own inner lives.

To maintain balance and resilience in your work, but most importantly for all the other roles that are important to your wellbeing you must know how to prioritise your needs at each phase of your life.

This day is designed to deepen awareness and connection to self through movement, reflection, creativity and provide a space to release, rest and rejuvenate.

The cost to attend this one-day retreat is $350 and includes all activities, tea on arrival, lunch and afternoon tea. (Please indicate any dietary requirements on our form when booking your place).

We suggest you speak with your employer to access your professional development allowance to attend this wellness day. Investment in their staff is how they can make a difference in the lives of their employee’s and the women and families you support.
