Kia ora, everyone!

I'm excited to invite parents to join my Co-Parenting Webinar Series on Zoom, starting on November 25th at 8 PM NZT. Whether you’re new to co-parenting or looking to enhance your skills, this series is for you!

"Marlen’s webinar was eye-opening for both of us. My co-parent and I tuned in after our daughter was asleep, and it brought us so much clarity. He realised how his childhood shaped him, and I became more aware of how my actions affect our daughter.

Even though there’s hurt between us, we’ve learned we can still come together to parent her well. Thank you, Marlen, for helping us through this—your work is truly making a difference." - Jessie Dean

Kanga is for you!

Kanga is for you!

Kangatraining is a babywearing postnatal workout focused on strengthening the muscles which can get stretched during pregnancy (especially the transverse abdominis and pelvic floor) and improving posture. It is a low impact, full body workout and one which allows mums to be with their babies while improving their health and fitness level, as we wear our babies for most of the workout in safe baby carriers (which allow proper development of the hips, spine and appropriate head support).
