Hello there Cleft Warrior lovelies!

I hope you are all okay and managing the rush of the season! It has been a fantastic year and I wanted to drop you a line before the end of 2022 to thank you all for helping The Cleft Warrior Woman grow and for your support, love and strength. It really does mean the world.

CLEFT CONFIDENCE FREE WORKSHOP JANUARY 16TH 2023!

If you’ve been with me for a while, then you may remember the first ever free workshop I hosted in September, focussing on parenting a cleft-born child through a trauma informed lens.

Well… I was absolutely blown away by the feedback afterwards, and how it spoke to so many women.

It was really incredible, and nearly 100 gorgeous cleft mummies and cleft affected individuals signed up for the evening from all over the world, which was just amazing.

It really shows the need and desire amongst us all for this type of learning about trauma and how it shows up in the cleft journey.

And now I’m so excited to be hosting the second free workshop 😍

You don’t need to have watched the first workshop to join this one.

The second free workshop is all about how trauma impacts us and our children on the cleft journey.

During our time together, we will be looking at ..

⭐️how trauma can manifest in our day to day lives

⭐️why you feel the way you do about many things (not just cleft)

⭐️why cleft and the implications of it can at times feel overwhelming

⭐️how to understand yourself with more compassion and self awareness

⭐️how a more peaceful and less fearful relationship with cleft is available to you

This workshop is for you if you’re a mother to a cleft born child.

It’s for you if you…

✨received your baby’s cleft diagnosis and said “What did I do? Was it me?’

✨feel overwhelmed by the many different touch points of the cleft journey

✨worry about the future and how you will handle certain situations with your child

✨are ready to learn how you can feel more confident and empowered

It’s a safe, private space and truly is such important learning for cleft mumma’s to know❤️

SHOP

There are lots of new items to buy in the shop which is very exciting!

Have you thought about buying a loved one a gift voucher that they can put towards a Cleft portrait? Vouchers come in £10 denominations and you can add as many as you would like!

There are also beautiful diaries and journals available for you to write down your thoughts and get organised AND there are a very limited number of Cleft portrait calendars available! To get a calendar, simply drop me a line and I will send it out to you. They are just stunning and there is a different gorgeous portrait for each month.

SAVE CLAPA

If you’re based in the UK, then you’ll know that @clapacommunity is the only UK based charity supporting cleft-affected families and individuals.

I regularly witness the support they provide and see how valuable it is for the UK based Cleft Community.

Sadly, the affects of COVID has put the organisation in serious danger, as they aren’t government funded and COVID and other global situations has meant that they can’t continue as they are; they need help.

So, in light of the recent World Kindness Day I’m running a competition to help raise money for CLAPA and I’m going to be giving away a FREE portrait to the winner😍🙌🏼

I’m excited to be offering this and hopefully together with all the fundraising so many are doing we can help CLAPA!

I know many of you may have already donated or set up regular debits… but…. with this donation, someone will win a place in the 100 cleft collection⭐️

To be in with a chance of winning a FREE portrait, you need to…

💫make a donation to CLAPA (of any amount, every little helps) via the Just Giving page

💫I will pick a winner for the FREE portrait in a few weeks, keep your eyes open and remember to leave your email address so I can let the winner know👍🏻
