New Mama & Parent One-Stop Drop-in @ Highgate Newtown Community Centre
Welcome to Moon Community Health CIC’s monthly New Mama & Parent One-Stop Drop-in at Highgate Newtown Community Centre. In conjunction with Tufnell Park Parents, we want to make things as easy as possible for you, as you negotiate life with a tiny human.
It’s a two hour free drop-in session, where you can find support from a variety of practitioners, who’ll either be able to help you on the day or signpost you to the person or place that’ll be of most benefit to you.
It’ll also be a space that you can meet other Mamas and parents in your community, over a cuppa, to laugh and cry together about walking the path of parenthood.
There’s no minimum or maximum age of your little one - everyone’s welcome!
At November’s Session you’ll find:
1-2-1 and Group Consultations
- A Baby & Child Sleep Consultant: Nicky Mulligan will be able to answer your questions about your baby’s sleep.
- A Breastfeeding/Lactation Consultant: Thomasina Lowe will be able to talk to you about your feeding journey and support you by looking at baby’s latch and your positioning.
- A Women’s Health Osteo (1-2-1 Sessions): Naomi Chanim will be offering free 10 minute 1-2-1 Diastasis recti or pelvic floor assessments in our consultation room - Booking is essential for these sessions.
- Baby-Wearing Consultant: Jazz McGonigle will be able to fit check with your sling/carrier, to ensure baby is safe and you’re both comfy
- Motherhood Lifeline Therapist: Kristina Matej will be there for you if you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, are having repetitive, intrusive thoughts or are struggling with the idea of leaving your baby when returning to work.
- A Postnatal Mama & Baby Expert: Melanie Appleby will be able to help you navigate through your life with a new baby.
- A Functional Nutritionist (1-2-1 Sessions) Ali Masterman will be offering friendly 15-minute conversations about nutrition and wellbeing for new mums - exploring simple ways to support your energy, mood, recovery, and overall wellbeing - Booking is essential for these sessions.
The next Drop-in Session is from 10.30am to 12.30pm - it’s free, but you can register your interest below.

Today we are welcoming the darkness at Samhain/Halloween…
Traditionally, in Celtic and other communities, this evening would mark the transition between the lighter half of the year and the darker half.
Transitions and womanhood feel synonymous, as we travel through life, with the rhythms of our bodies. I wonder if we feel the transitions of the natural world more keenly because of this...
Some believe that at this time of year the division between this world and the 'otherworld' is at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through.
Ancestors are honoured and invited home, while harmful spirits are warded off. People wear costumes and masks, disguising themselves as harmful spirits, to ward off unwanted attention from the actual spirits.

Sorry, only three weeks late!
But a big thank you to all the wonderful folks who donated £3 when they booked with Moon in September.
Your support means that other women in our community can access the support they need.
The Women Supporting Women Fund offers 40% subsidies for anyone who needs it, no questions asked.
Unfortunately there is quite a long waiting list at the moment, so if you're able to donate the price of a coffee next time you book, then you're a flipping 🌟

The Camden Community Safety Team are organising a women's safety walkabout on Thursday 29th October, in the Highgate area.
They want to:
⭕️ Look at locations that feel unsafe.
⭕️ Find out about women’s safety concerns or incidents experienced
⭕️ Understand any other general community safety concerns we have
Our feedback is key as it serves to inform the route of the walkabout, as well as improving community safety for those living, visiting, and working in Camden.
If you'd like to feedback comments or take part in the walkabout, then feel free to comment beneath or DM us, and we'll pass this onto The Camden Community Safety Team.
Please note this is specifically regarding the Highgate ward (see second image).2 weeks ago
