Moonstone Mothering is all about being a mother, from conception to grand-mothering! Hi, my name is Hayley Hughes. Since the age of 10, I have loved taking care of children, and when I left school I studied in the field of childcare and development. I had 3 of my own children, and I have "mothered" many more, working with them and families while being a childcare provider for the past 25 years. Now my own family have grown up, and I find that I'm wanting to share my motherly wisdom with others, in the form of mentorship and helping moms find connections, birth support and postnatal support. I also have a diploma in natural nutrition, and enjoy specializing in healthy eating during pregnancy and postpartum, infant feeding, and feeding the family. In the blog section you will find my musings on Motherhood and related topics. These are just my observations and perspectives. I continue to take courses and workshops in topics related to birth and postpartum, nutrition, newborns, infants and toddlers, preschoolers and beyond. I continue to work towards mothering myself and showing up authentically in life. Feel free to contact me if there's an area you would like me to cover in my blog section and I'll be happy to consider it :)
PS. Just in case you were wondering - a Moonstone is a female energy stone, that helps to protect during pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood! It's also my birthstone!

I live in a Ladner, BC, with my husband Mick, sons Matt and Dan and daughter Beckie. The beautiful "golden-child", sleeping at our feet, was Meg. She was mothered a lot too....
