Commencing your parenting journey is a big life changer and in this podcast I share tips and strategies to help and inspire you so you can build confidence in your parenting and forge a magic bond with your little one. Getting started as a mum is often a lonely, daunting journey and many feel alone and unsupported and lack a support network or village. For more than two decades, Helen Thompson has made it her mission to fill this gap and support mums as a childcare educator and more recently as a baby massage instructor. In every single value-packed episode, Helen will be your guide, sharing ways to help you in areas including postpartum, breastfeeding/lactation, self-help and healing your body and mind after giving birth so that you can learn ways to relax and gently ease into your parenting journey. It’s a mix of interviews and solo shows from Helen you’re not going to want to miss. Hit subscribe, and get ready to change your life.
