5th Birthday Party - My Birth Support 18/06/26

Hi, I’mAileen Whiteand I’ve been serving families for the past12 years since overcoming Tokophobia (fear of childbirth) and becoming a parent myself.I love to see people transform and grow from fear, into love for themselves and their family and others.  This process of change can take time, it can be a life's work, so be patient with yourself.In the sessions I offer, you will find a safe space to be heard and not fixed.  I invite you to listen, learn and discover in a way that suits you.  This might include silence or talking, art or creative writing, walking or being still.I recognise you can experience change and growth through all your senses so I purposely will offer creative ways for you to work things out for yourself using all those senses.If you are joining us online, do get a snack, drink, choose a comfortable relaxing place in your house and perhaps add a little quiet music to set the scene at home.My Birth Support CICis a registered Community Interest Company and we offer you bespoke support over the Internet or face to face in and around Canterbury, UK in groups or individually.You can find out morehere.  Wherever possible, we seek to make this support affordable, offering everything on a pay-what-you-can-basis and making further concessions available for low income families. Thank you to our current grant funders who help to make this possible: Kent Community Foundation, Mayah' s Legacy, The National Lottery Community Fund .

Introducing Aileen, your host from My Birth Support CIC:<blockquote>"If you have been enjoying our support over the past 5 years (or maybe since before we became a CIC), then you will know that you matter as a parent. It's vital that you know that! If no one cares for you, how can you keep giving out to everyone else?</blockquote><blockquote>I'm a mum too and I remember how full on it was when my children were babies and pre-schoolers. The transition into parenthood is daunting and overwhelming then as they grow and change, we change too and we still need support! That's why we offer support at any stage of parenting, in person and online.</blockquote><blockquote>I've been supporting the emotional wellbeing of mums, parents and families for over 13 years now after overcoming Tokophobia (fear of childbirth) myself. I do hope you will come and celebrate with me and the whole community, plus our amazing volunteers!</blockquote><blockquote> </blockquote><blockquote>I look forward to seeing you there!" Aileen xx</blockquote>ps. pre schooolers, bring your teddy too!
