EVENTS

Group of mothers meeting in Warragul for a workshop with Katie Parker

Connecting Through Events

Community connection is one of my highest values – I love bringing women together to support, hold and inspire one another! Check out below for my upcoming events.

Free Mama Meet Up

Warragul

A group for mums of any aged children who would like to build their village, ask questions, and receive support & guidance in relation to any aspects of their pregnancy, postpartum, parenting or motherhood journey.

Whether you are pregnant with your first or fifth, have a baby, toddler, older child, or a combination of the above, you are welcome!

I have witnessed some beautiful friendships formed while running this group over the last few years. Maybe you’ll find your mum crew there too?!

  • A welcoming and supportive space where you can connect with other mums in your local community and start building your village.
  • An opportunity to feel heard, held and supported on your pregnancy and mothering journey.
  • Deeper, more meaningful conversations about motherhood with a group of mums who also value connected, respectful and responsive parenting.

Each meet up is on the first Friday of the month and goes from 9am til 10:30am.

We meet on the couches in the West Gippsland Arts Centre foyer.

The lovely staff at Coffee Vibes bring our orders out to us, and there’s also a big box of toys for the older kiddos!

 Please message or email me ([email protected]) to let me know if you’ll be coming along.

There is no cost to come along, just purchase your own delicious drink and snacks!

IMPORTANT
If you feel nervous about coming along, please know this is super normal. Please feel free to let me know how you’re feeling, and I’ll arrange to meet you just before we start. We would love to see you there!

Map Your 2024

Planning Workshop

Begin your 2024 feeling organised, inspired, and excited about the year ahead for you and your business. 

I love the process of reviewing, recalibrating, and planning for the upcoming year in business – I find it so energising! This year I would love to share my process with you in my online workshop: Map Your 2024 – a planning workshop for mums in business, including quarterly check-ins during the year.

This is your opportunity to pause and reflect on the past twelve months in business, to celebrate all that went well, lean into your learnings, release what you no longer need and get clear on your aspirations for 2024. Maybe you’re ready to:

  • Call in more clients
  • Work fewer hours
  • Spend more time with your family
  • Grow your business
  • Hire staff
  • Create that online course
  • Start a podcast
  • Hold an event
  • Feel more aligned with your values
  • Create more spaciousness…

Let’s turn your dreams into goals and create a plan to get those wheels in motion!

Within the workshop you’ll have space held for you to get curious about what you really want out of your business. You’ll receive support in setting your goals and intentions for the new year based on these desires. You’ll then be guided to put a plan in place to make it happen.

There will be journal prompts to help clarify the vision you have for your business and an opportunity to map out the step-by-step process you need to take to ensure your actions align with this vision and your values.

  • Finding the silver linings to your ‘failures’
  • Bringing in gratitude for your learnings
  • Celebrating your wins
  • Review of your current financial situation

  • Three-hour interactive online workshop.
  • A workbook for you to print that we will work through together during the workshop.
  • Journal prompts.
  • 3 x 90 minute quarterly check-in sessions during the year: May 19, August 18 and November 17 from 3-4:30pm AEST/AEDT.

'Nurtured'

business mentoring program

Nurtured

A retreat for mums in business

A weekend of connection and inspiration for you and your business. 
  • Date: April 11-14th, 2023
  • Accommodation: Mansi on Raymond
  • Retreat Venue: Element at Mansi (next door to accommodation!)
  • Price Includes: All meals and three nights accommodation. 

Imagine three days curated specifically to nurture you and your business. Gathering with an intimate group of like-minded women, you will:

  • Support your body to unwind and relax
  • Bathe in space to reflect on and set your life and business goals
  • Connect with peers and find a safe space to be truly heard and acknowledged in both your wins and challenges.

I firmly believe that running a business and being a mother can happen simultaneously and symbiotically when we can nurture ourselves, redefine success and leverage our strengths as an individual and within our family. You are already carrying a huge load and I don’t want business to feel like another burden that you have to carry – it is possible for your business to nurture and sustain you just as you do it. 

This retreat is a space to unlearn traditional ways of doing business and re-learn a new set of perspectives, practices and principles that can help you thrive in motherhood and business.

What’s included:

  • Restorative yoga
  • Yin yoga
  • Sound meditation (you don’t want to miss this!)
  • Women’s circles/workshops on motherhood and business
  • Practical tips
  • Nature walks
  • Nourishing meals
  • Opportunities to sleep in and nap
  • Luxurious accommodation
  • Optional massage, magnesium float, mineral bath, airpod hydroxy and infrared sauna (available at extra cost)

You’ll finish the retreat:

  • Having reconnected to your body
  • Feeling restored and nourished with more capacity to bring to motherhood and family
  • Having reignited your spark for business
  • With reimagined ideas of success and with a community of like-minded women ready to cheer you on in business and beyond – a brand new business village!

I hope you’ll join us on this beautiful nurturing and nourishing weekend. Together I hope we can forge a path of business that is inspired, authentic and connected.

She manages to identify your unique strengths and talents and helps you realise them. Working with the queen of community, not only do you get Katie but her amazing network of professionals who each offer their unique wisdom to mums like me starting out in business.

But more than any of that, Katie has gifted me my own network of amazing mums in business who not only cheer me on, but support me and offer opportunities to collaborate and grow our business together”.
