Events & Workshops

Postpartum Prep Workshop: Nov. 29, 2025

This workshop for expectant parents facilitates community and knowledge-sharing in preparation for the postpartum period. We will gather to get to know other parents-to-be in the neighbourhood and learn essential information about the postpartum period (especially the first 6 weeks after birth), while we busy our hands in the assembly of a “healing basket.” In addition to their baskets, participants will leave with resources and information about local supports for new parents. Topics include: physical changes; food and healing; sleep; newborn care; maternal mental health; requesting and receiving help from support people; etc. And, there will samples of my postpartum cooking!

Intended for parents-to-be between 30 and 40 weeks along, though expectant parents at any stage in their pregnancies are welcome. Each birthing person may bring one other person with them (partner or other support person).

Day/time: November 29, 2025. 12:00 – 2:00PM.

Price: $35 for 1 birthing person; $50 for birthing person and partner/support person

Price includes the cost of materials for baskets

Location: Dependent on how many people register, the workshop will take place either in my home (in South Dartmouth) or at a local community space (such as the North Woodside Comm. Centre)
