This is a non-judgmental space that is all about you and wraps you up like a big hug or a warm blanket as you journey along as a new mum. You may be loving the journey so far or facing challenges in these early weeks and months….all experiences are welcomed.

Looking for local connections!

Hello! I've recently moved to Coburg North with my small family. I have a 19 month old boy and another on the way in a couple of months. I'm wondering whether there are any parents groups getting together in the area? Alternatively, are there any parents at home during the week who'd be interested in starting a play/walking group? We are near the Coburg Lake/Jackson Reserve so that's a good starting point for me, but I'm flexible! Thanks, Cecilia
