A nurturing circle for mothers to find their voice during the transition of early parenthood

Running since 2023 | Perinatal support through song

MotherSong creates a safe space for mothers during pregnancy and early parenthood, a period of profound change that can bring isolation and overwhelm.

Through group singing, mothers access connection and joy. Singing together helps regulate the nervous system and reduces stress. Controlled breathing activates the vagus nerve, supporting calm during the demands of early parenthood.

Music provides emotional expression beyond words, while songs learned together can be sung to infants, creating connection and comfort.

This work draws on my training as a community arts worker and specialist training with UK organisation Singing Mamas, using trauma-informed approaches aligned with NHS Wellbeing frameworks.
