Nest’s course provides a nurturing space to support women emotionally and spiritually through the transformational journey of pregnancy.
The more inner work we can do during pregnancy the greater opportunity we have to create a strong bond with our baby, an empowering birth experience and an easier transition into motherhood. What a gift to your child to honour and create an optimum blueprint from the start.
MY PREGNANCY JOURNEY
I found pregnancy with my two boys to be such an incredible experience for transformation and growth but also an emotional rollercoaster!!
As a creative arts therapist one of my go to tools during pregnancy was drawing, collage, dance, visualisation and collage. They proved to be amazing tools to dive deep into my inner world and understand mine and my baby’s needs. Throughout both pregnancies I used art, journalling, dance, meditation and emotional release to navigate my pregnancy and process things that were coming up for me,
AND SO NEST WAS BORN, SO YOU TOO CAN EMBRACE THE POWER OF PREGNANCY BY EXPLORING YOUR INNER WORLD USING CREATIVE EXPRESSION.

Through..
SELF AWARENESS + CONNECTION + HEALING
One of the biggest gifts to our children is the inner work we do on ourselves, so they can come into our world a little less unencumbered by our baggage.
Pregnancy can be an all encompassing and sometimes challenging shift and a beautiful opportunity to face any emotions that may surface. By expressing and sharing your inner world through creative expression there is potential to have a more fulfilling pregnancy ( which bubba will love too), a potentially easier birth and a more flowing initiation into motherhood.

TESTIMONIAL
“This course was exactly what I needed to get back into my body and out of my head. I feel so much more intrinsically connected to my baby and the process.
it has taught me to use tools such as movement, art and visualisation to help open the lines of communication with myself and to have a break from the intellectual mind that can take us so far out of our body if we are not careful.
Fi's calming voice and guidance throughout the course set the space so beautifully and I could feel her beautiful nature through the screen ever so strongly. I can't express enough how important this was for me, I highly highly recommend this course to any woman who is pregnant. It's such a beautiful, gentle and special way to honour this incredible journey. "

FAQs
Do I need to be an artist?
Not at all, no creative skills needed. Creative Expression Therapy is all about the process not creating a masterpiece.
Can my partner do the course?
The course is currently designed for Mama, however it is of huge benefit to share these processes and experience with your partner. Sharing your creation with them may be a great way to get conversations started abut things such as birth and preparing for postpartum.
Do I need art supplies?
You will need: A3 white paper, a pack of oil pastels, scissors, glue stick and some old magazines. (You will get more details about this when you sign up)
When should I do the course?
This course is relevant and appropriate at all stages of pregnancy and sessions can be spaced apart to cater for individual needs.
Is there a payment plan?
If desired you can pay the course in two instalments.
How long will the course take?
I advice on doing sessions every 2 weeks for 1.15 hrs so you can integrate the themes and processes in between sessions. That will span over 10 weeks, however I am flexible with what suits you.
