Tender Care for Women through all Phases of Life

Marinella is a yoga teacher, massage therapist, postpartum doula and menstrual cycle mentor supporting women at any stage of their lives. Her work is rooted in the ancient wisdoms of Ayurveda, the five elements system and a deep understanding of the cycles of life. She guides women in how to honour the earth and moon, the menstrual cycle, and how to honour the many wonders of the female body.

She weaves this cyclical wisdom with feminine & intuitive movement and breath practices simple rituals, and an invitation to rest as the ultimate act of self-care.

Whether in a circle or in a 1:1 session, she holds space for healing and transformation in a humble and grounded way, always leading from her deep heart.

A trip throughout Norther India in her late 20s was a real awakener and planted the seeds for her own healing journey, as well as for her holistic career, that is always flowing and unfolding.

She has trained and worked with some truly amazing women, change-makers and activists for the earth and women's rights, to whom she's eternally grateful.

April is Caesarian Awareness Month and although I’m a bit late, I still want to share this positive story working with Scar Therapy Massage 🌺

Very grateful for permission to post these photos documenting the first three months of working on this Caesarian scar last autumn.

What an honour to support this mama and contribute to her healing journey! 🙏🏻
Here are her words about her experience with me:

“I have so far completed 3 sessions with Marinella focusing on Csection scar /& Ayurvedic abdominal massage. Marinella has taught me how to massage these areas confidentially which has helped me to connect with more than just the physical wounds and pain of my birth story.
We have both been very pleased with how the scar has healed and smoothed over during this time, and I have since started to ensure I find the time to massage these areas regularly.
Marinella has been flexible in her approach to our sessions, and she early on identified my need for support in processing my birth story and experience of pregnancy. She holds space for it all, listens and supports in a beautiful way. She offers words of wisdom and has guided me with her knowledge of helpful reading and resources.
Since starting sessions with Marinella I have been awoken to the power of connecting to the Divine Feminine within us. I am becoming more aware of my natural cycles, and the significance of gaining this awareness. I am also on a journey of learning more about womb healing and the power of working to heal in this way.
I thank you Marinella for all your support and will continue to spread the word of how wonderful it is to work with and be supported by you.”

Thank you to for your brilliant training! This work is so needed! I’m so lucky to be offering it, together with the most amazing team of practitioners at

Yesterday I had the honour to hold a closing the bones ceremony for a beauty-full mama, Carmen .mother.hood 🌷
She’s doing amazing mothering her new baby and her toddler and sharing her story of real motherhood on her account - follow her if you are going through postpartum, are a seasoned mother or are working with mothers. I love her authenticity so much✨

During our ceremony it was amazing to listen to her birth stories and her journey into motherhood, the different births she had, mirroring in a way her children’s personalities (so different!) and the different woman she was in each labour, again so related to the two different babies she has birthed.

Like my teacher says, our births are our teachers in our motherhood journey, they initiate us, they show us our powers and strengths, as well as the things we need to work on as we mother our children and re-mother ourselves.

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are times of tremendous change and transformation in a woman’s life, of deep spiritual level! And I feel truly blessed to be able to support and care for many women on this journey! ✨
I am totally committed to this work, with great reverence and love 🙏🏻

And as I journey now through the early stages of perimenopause, I am able to hold mothers and women in a different way: I’m feeling a different energy moving through me, I feel even more fierce and purposeful, more healthily boundaried and hence more resourced and able to give (with quality rather than quantity at the heart of what I offer), and definitely more committed to contribute to the revolution: the one that will put nature, the cycles and mothers back at the centre, the only way forward for our future as humans ❤️

If these words resonate with you and would like to work with me, please check my bio or website www.earthmoonmala.com and DM or email me 🌷

I give thanks to all my teachers and to all the women that have come to me so far and the ones that are yet to find me. And to my boy, my biggest teacher ❤️❤️

Grateful to be of service 🙏🏻

Come and join our Mums and Baby Movers Yoga Circle restarting this Wednesday 19th April at Wildgoose Space, BS2 9YP
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This fun, informal and super nourishing yoga circle is aimed to support mothers with babies that are on the move, until about 2 years old. It’s a safely held space for yourself and your little one: you get to do yoga, breathe, rest and share your journey with other like-minded people, whilst your baby/toddler explores around and play with the other little ones. It’s something quite unique! And everyone (including me!) finds it really hard to leave the circle when their toddlers have overgrown it - we co-create the support village that we all need and long for as mothers. It’s so special! 🌷

And for the first time in almost two years there are still some spaces left!

These were the words that awakened me to consciously prepare for my postpartum journey - and I will be forever grateful to the midwife that shared Robin Lim’s work with me and an intimate group of women, a couple of years before I became a mum.

There was hardly anything on conscious postpartum care then, but hearing these words and reading Robin Lim Robin Lim] book ‘After the Baby’s Birth…’ were a real blessing on my journey.

I also had the absolute honour to personally meet Robin Lim during a birth and postpartum conference in Italy at around the same time - her work is a precious gift for us all and the Earth 🙏🏻✨

These words were also catalyst for my own doula journey and my deep wish/hope to contribute to the restoration of a mother-centred postpartum care 🙏🏻✨

Here’s the whole paragraph from Robin Lim] book - and I’d love to hear what you think 🌼

“Whatever you do, do not view postpartum as merely pregnancy’s fourth trimester. That attitude implies that you should have total physical recovery and that your life is back to normal within three short months. The most profound physical changes a woman ever undergoes do take place during the first few days after giving birth, but far-reaching changes in body, lifestyle, emotions, attitudes, and spiritual experience continue to unfold for as long as you live. You were pregnant for nine months; you are postpartum for the rest of your life.”

🌼🌼 It’s world doula day today! 🌼🌼

Hurray to all the amazing doulas out there, dedicated to the care and support of women and birthers during the prenatal, birth and postnatal times ✨

And I am honoured to be one of them 🤗

I am an Ayurvedic postpartum doula and my work is dedicated to hold you and care for you during the tender, raw, and transformative postpartum time. ✨
My own postpartum experience initiated me into this and since then I have dreamt of sharing with other women the practices that deeply nourished and supported me during that time.
And I feel very blessed to have learnt more about the sacred art of postnatal care from a dream team of teachers at 🙏🏻

Throughout the whole of my pregnancy I had a deep desire to consciously prepare for my postpartum time, as well as for birth. It was an intuitive need within my heart and body 💛
Now I see that that desire was born from my deep reverence for the natural cycles and the understanding that by honouring the postpartum time we honour the entire cycle of creation and motherhood (I will write more about this soon…)✨

Choosing to have a gentle postpartum time honouring the Sacred Window (first forty days after birth) taught me a lot. Creating small daily rituals helped me to stay grounded and connected to myself in amongst all the big changes of that time. Consciously choosing what to eat and drink nourished my body, my mind and my soul. Consciously choosing to stay home for a few weeks, to initially avoid then limit visits to the minimum, and to rest lots allowed me a ‘timeless window’ to fully soak in the experience and the transformation that unfolds during the first weeks after birth.
I loved my postpartum time so much! 💛

And I’d love you to feel the same 💛
So if this resonates with you at all and would like to chat more, please head to my website www.earthmoonmala.com or to my bio to book your free discovery call. I have some space if you are due May/June or Sep/Oct 🌼

Follow me this week as I share more about my work as a postpartum doula 🌼💛🌼💛🌼

Both circles are a welcoming, friendly, safe and non-judgemental space for you to be with your baby/babies. It’s a heartfelt community of mamas ❤️

We move, breathe and rest together and we share our stories of motherhood 🌷

Hello everyone!
Happy 2023!! It’s a brand new cycle 💫 one of the many we are in anyway…

I’m very slowly re-emerging after my usual winter digital-detox ritual.
I feel a little hesitant and unprepared, and not sure where to start… 😅
•
•
I guess I’ll start with a short intro as it’s been a while…and a warm welcome to you all, old and new followers - thank you for being here 🙏🏻

My name is Marinella, I’m Italian but I’ve been living in Bristol (UK) for many moons now, with my beautiful husband and our gorgeous almost 7 years old boy, who has totally rocked our world!

I am a lover of the moon, the sea, the trees, the cycles and all that is sacred. I seek sacredness in mundane things and in the work I offer to women.

In my work I combine Ayurveda, therapeutic women's yoga, healing touch, and guidance in becoming acquainted with the inner and outer cycles. I love holding women (whether in circle or 1:1 setting) through different life transitions and rites of passage, facilitating space for healing and transformation.
My biggest focus, since I began this holistic journey, has been the rite of passage of motherhood. 'Mother the mothers' my heart told me during a powerful meditation, years before I became a mother myself! And that’s what I mainly do - and I feel honoured and blessed for this 🙏🏻
From prenatal to postnatal yoga circles, prenatal and postnatal massage, Mother’s Blessings, Closing the Bones Ceremonies, postnatal doula care, mothers retreats and lots of pre-pregnancy support, abdominal therapy massage and more…you can check my bio or my website www.earthmoonmala.com to see it all ✨

But my work is constantly evolving, as I continue to evolve personally on my life journey…slowly moving into my mid forties and perimenopause, whilst still being 100% into my mother-self, I am open with curiosity to where my heart will guide me next…✨

*Curiosity* is my word for 2023, do you have one? Please share it in the comments below if you like ✨

Hope to connect to you soon 💛
