About Mothering the Midwife
Caring for yourself physically and emotionally is essential for clarity and purpose. It is a deeply personal and unique journey to discover your soul’s purpose as a nurse or midwife and may evolve over time. But 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 their worst. 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.
A nurse/midwife’s 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 menstrual cycle, and how this is woven into your connection with others. This day is designed to deepen awareness and connection to self through movement, reflection, creativity and provide a space to release, rest and rejuvenate.
No prior experience with somatic therapy, yoga, or breathe work required.
Please come with an open heart and respect for one another’s vulnerabilities.
Dress comfortably to sit on the floor and move freely.
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.
