These 3 courses are designed for mothers rather than practitioners.
I do believe as mothers who work in motherhood-support, our professional development starts with our own personal growth, so these courses will be a great resource for you to begin with as a mother who supports other mothers.
If you would like to be trained to deliver and integrate these teachings into your own work and professional practice, join the waitlist for the next round of The Motherhood Studies Practitioner Certification - https://drsophiebrock.com/motherhoodstudies/

“Research emphasises the detrimental effects on Mothers when they are placed under the pressures of perfect Motherhood, and when they internalize these ‘shoulds’. The more an individual Mother internalises these pressures, the more likely it is they will experience stress, anxiety, guilt, shame and depression. Breaking free of the perfect mother myth and stepping into our power as mothers is not only for us, it is for our children, too."

Who is Sophie?
I have spent 10 years researching Motherhood and have a PhD in Sociology specialising in Motherhood Studies from The University of Sydney. In my research I developed what has been described as a ‘ground-breaking theory’ for understanding how Mothers’ lives are shaped by the social and cultural construct of Motherhood. I’m also a Mother myself.
I’m experienced in teaching both in person and online, having created courses and delivered programs to hundreds of passionate mothers and professionals. Through my role as a social scientist, I know that this work is ongoing, expansive, and exploratory. I remain open, curious, and ever learning.
The ultimate purpose of my work is to contribute to changing the cultural conversation on Motherhood and the individual experiences of Mothers, creating a world where Mothers feel empowered, supported, and valued.
