Midwives and Doulas
"If we want to find safe alternatives to obstetrics, we must rediscover midwifery. To rediscover midwifery is the same as giving back childbirth to women. And imagine the future if surgical teams were at the service of the midwives and the women instead of controlling them."
Michel Odent, MD

When women have not seen or experienced a normal birth, when their only experience is the dramatised scenes on the screen, no wonder there is fear around birth and birthing.
Much of what now passes for normal around birthing is not at all normal. It is part of the inexorable push toward greater and greater technological intervention, not in the interests of mother and child safety, but because they can.

Postnatally, our core muscles have been on holiday for 9 months, our pelvic floor has managed weight and epic strain... the hormonal flux we experience can be an emotional roller-coaster, alongside fatigue like we've never known and aches in places we never knew we had and all whilst learning to take care of our tiny new human...

the word "yoga" can strike fear into some people's hearts... the thought of - as my non-yogi partner calls it "getting bendy", when potentially at your weakest can sound crazy, right?

Postnatal yoga, like pregnancy yoga is not about bending into crazy shapes. It's not about challenging yourself with a new PB. It's not about getting into your pre-pregnancy jeans - cos let's face it, for most of the population, that bu****it doesn't exist.

Our classes are about reconnecting with your body, mind and soul during this transformative chapter of pregnancy and motherhood. It's about carving out time to listen to what your body needs today - if it's a nap and class is the only place you get peace, I have blankets and chill vibes ;-)

Here, we celebrate our bloody incredible bodies and all they achieve. We love the skin we're in. We learn to feed together, we share knowledge, wisdom, laughter and sometimes much needed tears in our safe, held space of women. For women. REAL WOMEN.

We move gently to ease out the aches of our bodies, we breath, relax and meditate out the aches of our hearts.

Here there is no competition. Not even with yourself.

Here, we come home to ourselves as we draw ourselves back together. Physically, mentally and emotionally.

My breastfed kiddos will eat most things but love garlic and spice having been fed it since the womb and in all those milky feeds! 😜What do your babies love that you eat?

05/02/2026

As in our classes, we invite slowness against our busy worlds and our babies invite us to slow down in milky gazes contact naps and cuddles to soak up the now. This is the stuff mamas 🥰

Today we shared our breast/bottle/combi feeding experiences and tips - yes, that's "tips" - keeping it real convos, learned techniques to draw the transverse abs back to the centre line and return the pelvic floor to functionality, while stretching out mama aches, throwing in some baby singing, yoga and massage and some restorative practice to support that mama fatigue.
Fancy joining us?
