Join us at mum-hood for a special brew (not lager, but tea)! event to ‘Find out more about how herbs can help support a happy and healthy pregnancy.

In today’s society it can be difficult to regain our connection to nature. The incorporation of healing plants into our daily lives can help us reconnect with the earth and also encourage our body’s natural rhythms which can become somewhat lost in the workings of the modern world.
