What is Mother’s Village?
Mother’s Village at Evolvere in Lane Cove is open to All New Mums and their Newborn Babies. At some stage every Mum feels a little lonely and isolated and challenged to the core. She seeks support and ways on how to connect with like minded Mums, but the Mother’s groups and Play groups may not be her scene or she needs more support. This is the reason Evolvere created Mother’s Village! Gentle, nurturing, supportive, environment that New Mothers need, to truly flourish.
What to expect?
- Mother’s Village sessions are facilitated by Nina, a lovely postnatal doula.
- A welcoming, supportive group of mothers.

- Circle of similarly minded mums wanting to parent with a growth mindset, from a place of compassion.

- Friendships, good tea: your 21st Century Village.

What is a Postpartum Doula?
It is our job to be with the mother so she can be the best mother she can be! Our offering depends directly on what the mother is looking for in her postpartum period (usually the first 6 weeks following birth, but really the rest of her life). Before baby is born Evolvere meets with you and makes a plan about your needs in the first 6 weeks and how you would like to best be supported during this time. That might include preparing nourishing meals for mum and / or family. It may include massage of mum and baby. It will include listening to mum and offering gentle guidance on how she can comfortably step into her new role as a mother of one, two or whatever it may be as each birth and each baby is very different. It will always include lots of love, patience and encouragement. Also, the importance of building community and some ways to start that. Ultimately we want mum to learn to understand her new needs and the needs of her baby. To learn what she needs to feel safe and supported and to articulate this clearly to those who can help her. She will be building her community / village where she can receive nurture and nourishment and this is where mothers village comes in!!
