My aim is to nurture, nourish and support women on their journey into motherhood, creating the space for them to develop self trust and the confidence to be the mother they want to be.

My wish for us all over the holiday period is that we can create time and space for ourselves and for our needs, in amongst the possible busyness of life.
On that note, I’m am now finished work and will be taking a break until the new year, to spend time with loved ones and nature. I will be available for existing clients on 27th December only, otherwise am back on the 2nd January and looking forward to reconnecting with my clients and my work after the break.
Wishing you all peace, ease and moments of joy over the coming weeks. Go gently, both with yourselves and with others. Much love.

So this is me these days. Always Anne Williams, now An Invitation to Wholeness, recognising our journey in embracing and loving us as our whole self. Recognising all parts of ourselves exist, in perfect design, even when some of this parts may seem

Tonight I had the pleasure of hosting a gathering of women, with the intention of dreaming into our visions for the months and year ahead. I didn’t capture the space in the moment (as is often the case I was focused on the present), but the evening was just so yummy. Lovely connections, engaging discussions, valuable reflections and starting to craft our vision boards for the coming year. I’m grateful to the women who came, and who showed up so fully. What a nourishing way to spend a Friday evening.
The beautiful flowers were a gift from one of the attendees. I’ve been on my own Dahlia growing journey this year and these were just a perfect to support my dreaming in to what’s to come.

When we meet a part or a quality within us we don’t like, how would it be to meet that part of us with compassion and kindness rather than distain or shame?

How are you travelling as we head towards the end of 2024?
It’s a time of year when it’s easy to start placing judgement on ourselves about how far we have or haven’t come, whether we lived into our hopes for the year, whether we are where we would like to be in life or in this moment.
If that’s you…
I hope you can be gentle with yourself.
I hope you can have compassion for whatever is going on for you right now.
If things aren’t working out as you had hoped, I hope you can find the courage to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
I hope you can find the courage to take the next best step.
To breathe
To allow yourself some rest
To allow yourself some play
To take a pause and listen to what it is you need in this moment….
And in the next.
Sending you so much love from one slightly frazzled human to another.

I’m passionate about ensuring new mothers have the support they need to flourish. I want you to feel supported as you learn the huge new skill of being a mother and to feel nourished and nurtured, so that you in turn can nourish and nurture your baby. For me, the journey starts through pregnancy, if not before, when we can start to look at how we perceive birth and motherhood, and start of to explore the unconscious rules and agreements we have made with ourselves, that impact on our journey through labour, in to motherhood
Having been knee deep in motherhood and around new mothers through pregnancy and postnatal yoga for over 7 years, and now as a birth mentor, postpartum doula, and birth doula-in-training what I hear from so many parents is ‘why did no one tell me’, ‘no one talks about the hard stuff’ or ‘if I’d only known then what I know now’. I work with pregnant women and new mothers to support them on their journey in to motherhood, allowing them to find their own path. My birth mentor work (or childbirth education work as it’s often called) is influenced by the Birthing from Within approach, which isn’t just teaching you ‘how birth works’, it allows you to explore your own relationship with birth and connect with your own inner wisdom.
The saying it takes a village to raise a child has been one close to my heart since giving birth to my eldest son. I realised that it didn’t just take a village to raise a child, it takes a village to raise a mother. That was when I decided to become a birth and postpartum mentor to support other women making the transition to motherhood. As a result I have developed a service to bring that much needed to support to mothers-to-be and new mothers in my community, through birth mentoring, postpartum preparation and support and yoga.
I’m honoured to be able to work with women as they make the transition to motherhood, or grow their family further. Parenting is a journey destined to have many ups and down. My aim is to support you in making your passage to motherhood as blissful and empowering as possible.
