Koh Phangan, Thailand

We're Carrie & Steve Jeff, owners of Joymamma Studio on the Sunshine Coast, AustraliaFor the past 7 years, we've been supporting new parents as they prepare for the transition into parenthood. We're incredibly proud of the community we've created and invited into our beautiful studio in Mooloolaba. |
We were drawn to the outstanding natural beauty of the west coast of Koh Phangan 27 years ago when the first bungalow operations first started and have returned regularly with our children to enjoy the simplicity and beauty that it offers. Many well-established family run resorts still exist here with a high level of quality accommodation.

Daily YogaAll levels welcome - suitable for beginnersMorning yoga classes are held in and around the villa surrounds, where children are welcome. Even if you've never tried yoga before, we encourage you to join these sessions where we clear the deck and release tension. There will also be sessions for women and men to attend separately in our nearby private villa. |
Yoga NidraGet the deep rest you deserveParenting is rewarding, but most of us find it stressful., the self-care you need is often simply deep relaxation. Held in the privacy of our private villa (child-free zone) just 50 metres away from your own villa, these meditation sessions will help you unwind and return to a more peaceful state. One yoga nidra session is the equivalent of 4 hours deep sleep. Separate Mums and Dads sessions, so you can fully relax and let go knowing your children are cared for and safe. |
Group Hypnotherapy SessionBe a more patient parentHypnotherapy can help you feel calmer and think more clearly during the inevitable stresses of parenting. Hypnosis is deep relaxation very much like meditation. Held in the privacy of our private villa (child-free zone) just 50 metres away from your own villa, during childminding hours so you can attend this session together.
|
For two hours each day, childminding is available in and around the surrounds of your own Family Villa. You may choose to use this time to stay close by, enjoy the pool and beach or head to the Private Villa for a massage, workshop, go for a quiet meal, a leisurely beach walk, or we can organise transport if you wish to explore the area further.
|
If you know you need time away from the kids but still want them close by, this is the perfect guilt-free solution. You can have time for the family, time for each other and time for yourself - and you can let us take care of organising that for you.
|
PEACE AND QUIET EVERY AFTERNOON WITH OUR ONSITE CHILDMINDING SERVICE!
|
We will take you to our favourite part of the island that is quiet and peaceful, an area we have been visiting for nearly 30 years. Time stands still in this part of the world. You can let go of the to-do lists and switch off completely. It's why we keep coming back!
|
This is the perfect environment to allow your children freedom to play in nature, away from technology where they can be led by their imagination and freedom.

REDUCE THE TECHNOLOGY AND LET KIDS GET BACK TO NATURE
