Testimonials

  • I really enjoyed the structured topics each week, as they helped me reflect on my transformation into motherhood. The group provided me an opportunity to be vulnerable with other mums in a non-judgemental space, whilst also learning about others experiences. As a first time mum, having the opportunity to hear other mums stories, challenges and lessons was invaluable. Also Erika, she is clearly passionate about connecting mums and creating a safe space for women, the perfect facilitator!

    -Maddy, September 2023

  • One of the aspects I enjoyed most was connecting with other mothers and having open and non-judgmental discussions about the challenges and joys of motherhood. The sessions were guided by Erika who was kind and respectful. She created a safe space for vulnerability and growth and each week had a different theme which allowed us to explore a variety of topics. The blend of advice and shared experiences from other mothers was both comforting and empowering.

    -Lito, September 2023

  • I enjoyed the content of Thriving As A New Mum as it gave me input to reflect and look at things from a different prespective. I also enjoyed the group of people and the atmosphere. It was a time for me and my self-development which is a rarity when you have a small one!

    -Dafne, September 2023

  • I loved having a safe space to share experiences and learn and I wish our time together could have gone longer than 10 weeks!

    -Mayanna, September 2023

  • Erika is a warm, welcoming and fun facilitator for the Thriving Mums’ group. It was a great group to be a part of and I got so much out of it. Erika led each week’s theme in a way that allowed for meaningful, heartfelt but also funny conversation. And the topics and facilitation allowed for a type of connection that I don’t think you would get out of a “normal” mothers’ group. I’d really recommend this, particularly for new mums.

    -Allanah, April 2024

  • The sessions focused on Mum and not baby which is perfect! I loved how there was a sense of community created from the very first week and I really looked forward to gathering and sharing with the other Mums.

    ~Akshoo, September 2023

  • What a beautiful opportunity and experience. Erika provided such a warm and nurturing space to guide our group each week. The time spent gathering with other mothers and bubs and sharing our stories and experiences was so valuable to me and my baby. Erika brings a realness, warmth and spirit to motherhood which I found really inspiring to my own parenting.

    -Rebecca, April 2024

  • I loved how Erika created space for us during our time together over the 10 weeks. Lasting friendships were made and I genuinely miss all the Mums when I haven’t seen them for a few weeks. Deep connections were created - the conversations we’ve had mean we know each other a lot more intimately than eg through a MACH parents group, and I feel like I can talk to them about anything.

    ~Amy, August 2024

  • The content of this course has absolutely helped make me a better mother and is a genuine joy to participate in. Erika created a warm, welcoming space for women to be vulnerable and open up about all the fears that come with being a mum - each week an opportunity to self-reflect and reframe our thinking to make the most of motherhood and find ourselves again along the way. But the best part of the course is the other mothers you meet, some I think I'll be lifelong friends with. Even if you have a community mother's group assigned to you after the birth of your child, I'd strongly recommend doing Thriving as a New Mum with Erika too. I miss my weekly catch ups and would do it again if I could!
