New Mama & Parent One-Stop Drop-in

In conjunction with Tufnell Park Parents, welcome to Moon Community Health CIC’s monthly New Mama & Parent One-Stop Drop-in at Highgate Newtown Community Centre. 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 March’s drop-in 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.
- Baby-Wearing Consultant: Jasmin McGonigle will be able to fit check with your sling/carrier, to ensure baby is safe and you’re both comfy
- A Postnatal Mama & Baby Expert: Melanie Appleby will be able to help you navigate through your life with a new baby.
- 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.
- Baby Weaning Expert: Anna Lawton will be able to help you navigate through the world of weaning.
- Women’s Health Physio (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.
The next Drop-in Session is from 10.30am to 12.30pm - it’s free, but you can register your interest below.

What the blazes!
This UK summer has been hotter than most of us can remember. Some of us are loving it. Others are counting the days until it's cooler.
Why are we all so different?
According to Chinese Medicine, we all have our own unique balance of Yin and Yang. So while one person might thrive in a hot, energetic summer, someone else may find it completely depleting.
If Yin and Yang have always sounded a bit mystical, here's a quick look.
⭕ Yin - Feminine = Still, Cooling, Nourishing, Receptive, Moistening, Interior
⭕ Yang - Masculine = Moving, Warming, Transforming, Active, Drying, Exterior
This summer has been incredibly Yang.
While that can feel energising, too much Yang can make it harder to slow down, switch off and truly rest.
You may have noticed more:
⭕️ Tired but wired
⭕️ Restless sleep or insomnia
⭕️ Headaches or migraines
⭕ Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed
⭕️ Irritability or a short fuse
⭕️ Neck and shoulder tension
⭕️ Hot flushes or menopausal symptoms flaring
Acupuncture helps restore balance by nourishing Yin and calming your nervous system. Better still, you get permission to lie down, close your eyes while Sophie or Sunila work with your body's underlying patterns, giving you the chance for a deep rest and reset.
Our next Acupuncture Collective is on 17 August, just a few days after the spectacular solar eclipse. Whether you're into lunar cycles or not, it feels like the perfect moment to pause, reset and head into late summer feeling more balanced.
We'd love to see you there.
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 17th August.
