Pregnancy
Pregnancy
Support for the body that’s changing, and the person you’re becoming – from the earliest weeks through to the day you meet your baby.
Pregnancy asks a lot of you – physically, and in all the quieter ways too. Your body is doing something extraordinary, and alongside that there can be tiredness, uncertainty, a longing for someone to talk it through with. mumabuba offers pregnancy support in the Whitsundays, from the centre in Proserpine, and is here for both sides of that: hands-on care to help your body feel more at ease, and a place to think through what birth and early motherhood might look like for you. Whether you’re newly pregnant or counting down the weeks, you’re welcome here exactly as you are. Below you’ll find holistic pregnancy appointments, hypnobirthing classes, a free weekly breastfeeding circle to help you prepare for feeding your baby, and support for planning ahead for the early weeks at home.
personalised pregnancy appointments with Jo
Every appointment is built around you: your history, your body, this pregnancy. Jo uses a combination of complementary therapies, adapted trimester by trimester, to support a healthy pregnancy and prepare you, mentally and physically, for the birth ahead.
