We offer a broad range of multidisciplinary group education/workshops for women and families of all ages and life stages, including pregnancy, postpartum, menopause and parenting.
Using the Possums Approach – a gentle, evidence-based and commonsense approach to parenting and infant care – we help families bring more joy to those early days with a new baby by equipping you with evidence-based information about newborn development.
We will help you to understand your values, the concept of cued care, why babies cry, what is normal, what isn’t normal and how this helps to pave an easier path while parenting in those early days, weeks and months with your new baby.
