Hegen Cherish Nature’s Gift™ Seminars kick off the first webinar of the year with a focus on Surviving The Early Days Post-Partum. Held on Wednesday, 24 February 2021, 7pm – 9pm, the online event will be conducted on a new browser-based platform boasting high-definition no-lag video content with crisp audio, plus an “expo hall” component for viewers to peruse sponsors’ “booths.”
This event will be ticketed at $20 per registration. Enjoy Early Bird tickets at $15 from 8-19 Feb, limited to the first 100 registrations. Each attendee stands a chance to win lucky draw prizes and enjoys a free virtual goodie bag. To register, please visit http://bit.ly/HegenCNGSeminar.
Aimed at first-time or expectant-again parents, this webinar will feature two veteran IBCLC-certified lactation consultants who are also registered nurses and midwives, and hosted by influencer and Hegen Mum, Sara Ann K. From breastfeeding to newborn care, look forward to an evening of informative presentations and Q&A session broadcasted live at a cosy event space.
Registered midwife, senior lactation consultant and Director of Mother and Child, Uma Thambidurai, will show us how to get breastfeeding off to a good start from the time you are pregnant; while registered nurse, midwife, lactation consultant and Senior Manager at Thomson ParentCraft Centre, Chen Liqin, will be touching on the important aspects of newborn care.
As a brand that retails in 14 markets all over the world, conducting online events has also enabled Hegen to break down geographical boundaries and reach out to its international community. Last November, the webinar drew over 1,100 RSVPs with attendants from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Korea, Australia, Canada, Netherlands, Switzerland, UAE and USA. “What digitalisation has done for us is bring our classes to the mummies, so they can enjoy it from the comfort of their homes wherever they are in the world,” expressed CEO and Founder, Yvon Bock.
Hegen Cherish Nature’s Gift™ is the educational arm of Hegen — Singapore’s leading breastfeeding solution brand — which provides breastfeeding-related resources to support couples on their new journey as parents. Aside from webinars, Cherish Nature’s Gift™ also conducts breastfeeding clinics and will be launching a podcast channel in March 2021.
