Who is Villagehood Australia?
DINAH'S STORY
VILLAGEHOOD AUSTRALIA is the very first South Australian one stop centre for mothers, a real village where mothers are at the centre of everything we do and offer.
Hello!
I’m Dinah Thomasset, Founder of Villagehood Australia, mother of two young children and multiple hat-wearer.
Becoming a mother in Australia, 18,000km away from my village, was the toughest challenge of my life. The strong, confident woman I had been, disappeared from the moment my first child was born. The situation worsened when my second child arrived and she barely slept. I found myself in a dark hole and my health deteriorated and I ended up in hospital.
Waiting for test results, I imagined the worst. I told my husband: “If anything happens to me, get over it and find our children a mother, any woman who’ll love them.”
Then it hit me: I am that woman. Loving them is enough. I AM ENOUGH. Those three words resonated deeply and brought me back to LIFE. I began feeling better; my old self reappeared.
A few months later, I visited Morocco and reconnected with my village. That’s when it all clicked – I needed to open a centre for mothers. A place where all mums could feel safe and supported, creating a village of likeminded women who’ll transform motherhood so that we, and all future mothers, feel visible, valued and loved.
All classes and workshops are held at Fulham Community Centre. For bookings and more information visit the Villagehood Australia Bookings here
