Nurturing Families Supported Playgroup

A free, welcoming 8-week supported playgroup for mums and children aged 0-5years to connect, relax, play and enjoy.

If you’ve struggled with drug and/or alcohol, currently or in the past, come along to our safe, welcoming, supported playgroup.

You’ll be welcomed into our non-judgemental space with other mums who get it, facilitated by our Nurturing Families social worker and our amazing creche worker, who has tons of perinatal therapy experience!

This supported group is for mums and their little ones to connect, play and grow together. When children play alongside others, they’re doing so much more than having fun. They’re learning to share, take turns and read the world around them — building the social confidence and curiosity that shape how they’ll connect for years to come. And for mums, it’s a chance to relax, meet others on a similar path, and enjoy watching your little one flourish.

The details:

  • Fridays, 10:30am–12pm, starting 31 July
  • Perron Place, 61 Kitchener Ave, Victoria Park
  • Open to mums with children aged 0–5
  • Fruit provided
  • To join, call or text Cathy on 0452 664 273, or email cathy@luma.org.au (a quick assessment is required)

All the things your pelvic floor wishes you knew

A free educational event, empowering women with knowledge about their pelvic floor health, from women's health physiotherapist, Odette.

There’s part of our health many of us were taught to quietly put up with – and we think it’s time we changed that.

Pelvic health issues affect 1 in 3 Australian women over the age of 15, but most of us were never taught what ‘normal’ looks like.

Leaking when you cough, sneeze or laugh is just one of the signs your pelvic floor needs support – and it’s more common and treatable than you may think.

This free event offers a holistic and evidence-based approach, delivered by Odette Gaynor who brings:

  • 15 years of experience in continence and pelvic health
  • Masters of Clinical Physiotherapy (Continence and Pelvic Health)
  • Passion for supporting women

When: Thursday 13th August 2026

Time: 9.30am – 10.45am

Where: Luma, 98 Onslow Road, Shenton Park

Tea / Coffee and Fruit Platter provided

Who is this for: Anyone experiencing Pelvic Pain, Incontinence, Bladder & Bowel Dysfunction
