The Village Foundation aims to address isolation and improve wellbeing through prevention by providing support for parents throughout the pregnancy and postpartum period, and as they navigate returning to work. Mentorship, education and using a strengths-based approach provides lasting and sustainable support.
In order to make this happen, we are committed to collaborating with like-minded, passionate people and organisations who share this vision, for the greater good.
We are committed to change, to innovation, to seeking continual improvement and increasing connections. Integrity, kindness and truth are the pillars on which we build our village.

Our vision is that every parent has support. At Village we believe that the most important thing is the end game - that parents are supported so that their experience can be as positive as possible.

After her own post-partum in 2021 left her drowning in unrealistic societal expectations and hectic &lsquo;shoulds&rsquo; of social media, Claire serendipitously discovered the power of self-care that flipped the switch on being Mum. After a year figuring out how to bring the magic back and piece herself together again, she regained deep self-worth through the &lsquo;art of spacious self-care&rsquo;.&nbsp;
Now she fills her teapot &amp; finds joy in every day life while running two businesses alongside showing up as a happier parent - even through the current toddler-tantrums!
Claire is now wildly passionate about helping other Mamas learn strategies and tools for taking time for themselves with ease and joy. Through the Mamahood My Way Method, Claire&rsquo;s hope is for every Mama to tap into their superpowers, create more time freedom, feel their best self, and live a more fulfilled life on the daily, weekly, monthly - ALL THE DAMN TIME!&nbsp;
Why? Because we bloody well deserve it and it&rsquo;s the only should we&rsquo;re here for.

Claire is a Podcaster, Retreat Host + Tiny Habits Coach who helps Mamas searching for their postpartum self to dream, design and find more delight in this one precious life ✨

Before having my own child, I worked with children and youth with &ldquo;challenging behaviours&rdquo;. I would go into their family homes, work with their teachers and support the family as a whole.
Many of the children I worked with had been through significant trauma, abuse, and life changing circumstances. Many of their parents had been through the same as a child.
&nbsp;Instead of just looking at the child&rsquo;s &ldquo;challenging behaviour&rdquo; we looked at &ldquo;what does this child need us to know&rdquo;.&nbsp;We discussed that a behaviour is not just behaviour and we worked to uncover the need that was being met by said behaviour.
Overtime I noticed that giving these parents or caregivers several tips and strategies still wasn&rsquo;t resulting in lasting change. These parents were already burnt out, exhausted, and frustrated with their children. The long lasting change I was trying to create, wasn&rsquo;t going to occur unless the parents felt supported first.
Back in the day, community living was a given. People lived in communities for safety, socialisation, and shared resources. From the earliest days of humanity our brains have been programmed to live in close proximity to others, to share food and tools, to protect each other and to exchange ideas.
But the past century has drastically changed our concept of community, no matter if you live rurally or in a suburban neighbourhood. Families no longer co-habitat as they once did and we often get caught up in the reality of &ldquo;constant busy-ness&rdquo; that we don&rsquo;t take time to even get to know our neighbours.
The impact of this is apparent on parents and children. The adage &ldquo;it takes a village to raise a child is absolutely still true. But somewhere along the way, we have lost the &ldquo;village&rdquo; we need to raise children in nurturing, creative and safe ways. And as a result, parents and caregivers are missing out on crucial learning experiences, much needed support systems and are feeling isolated and alone in their struggles.&nbsp;
Thus, The Nurtured Village was born. Whilst working directly with children and adolescents, The Nurtured Village also supports parents and caregivers. Healthy parents and caregivers leads to a healthy family. I&rsquo;m not talking about just physical health, but emotional health is incredibly important too. Often parents and caregivers feel stressed, overworked, judged and inadequate.&nbsp;Burnout and exhaustion are real, but without a community around to validate those feelings, many feel that pain is unique to them.
Our aim is to ensure that not only the child is thriving in their &ldquo;village&rdquo; but that their parents and caregivers are feeling seen and supported also!&nbsp;

The Baby Care Collective is here to provide you with support, education &amp; simple strategies to give you the confidence to settle your baby to sleep and care for them throughout the day. We offer phone &amp; zoom appointments and single session parenting groups as well as a small range of products to support you throughout your baby's day.
All consults will include a brief assessment of how your babies growth &amp; development is going and ensure as a parent or caregiver that your Mental Health and Wellbeing are also being looked after. As this is only a one hour consult the focus will be on one main goal you have and if further time is required you can book double appointments.
Working closely with families to provide strategies that work for them is really important to us. Every strategy we recommend is backed by evidence &amp; experience. We want to make sure you are comfortable with what you are asking of yourself and your baby. All of the work we do with baby's and families is based on attachment theory and in a nutshell this means that the relationship you build with your baby, is based on trust. The most important thing is that your baby feels safe and secure in their relationship with you.
Our single session Parenting groups cover popular topics such as, 'Introducing Solids', 'Sleep &amp; Settling' and 'Infant Massage'. You can host a group in your own home or attend a group hosted in a venue by The Baby Care Collective. You will receive 3 hours of support, education and connection and come away with knowledge and confidence.
Check out our shop for some handpicked products designed to make your day a bit easier in the mess &amp; chaos that often follows baby's as the day progresses.
LAUNCHING SOON!
We also have a range of educational products designed to support you throughout your baby&rsquo;s day that are exclusive to The Baby Care Collective. These educational tools provide a great overview of popular topics that you will face in your baby&rsquo;s first year.
I have been working with families, health professionals and organisations for 20 years supporting them with sleep &amp; settling issues, feeding difficulties, baby care education and infant massage. It is such a privilege to work alongside families as they learn and grow in confidence, caring for their baby.
We look forward to supporting you to care for your baby with confidence.
