💚 World Mental Health Day 💚
Behind Parent Sanctuary are two mums, Charlotte and Rachel, who know that parenting can be both the most wonderful and the most overwhelming experience.
We’re passionate about supporting other parents, but that doesn’t mean we always have it all together ourselves.
We’ve both experienced our own challenges with mental health and wellbeing. We know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, stretched too thin, and to struggle to find time for ourselves amongst the demands of family life.
And we know just how important it is to have people around you who understand. People who listen without judgement, who don’t expect you to have all the answers, and who remind you that you’re not alone.
That’s a huge part of why Parent Sanctuary exists. 💚
It’s not just about getting outside for a walk, learning about babywearing or finding activities for little ones. It’s about connection, community and creating a space where parents can just be themselves.
Some weeks we have the energy to take on the world. Other weeks, simply getting everyone dressed and out of the house feels like an achievement. And that’s okay.
We believe in the power of fresh air, movement, nature and human connection to support our mental wellbeing. Not as a magic fix, but as little things that can make difficult days feel a bit more manageable.
And we benefit from those things just as much as the families who join us.
So this World Mental Health Day, we want to remind you that you matter too. Not just as a parent, but as a person.
You don’t have to be struggling to deserve support, and you don’t have to pretend everything is fine when it isn’t.
Whether you arrive at one of our walks feeling on top of the world or barely holding it together, there’s a place for you here.
With love,
Charlotte & Rachel 💚🌿
