A few days ago, a woman who doesnโ€™t live in the UK contacted me to give her friend and new mum a Closing the Bones ceremony. Thatโ€™s direct support for her!

And then I realized that over the past few months, friends and family have been reaching out to me to offer my support as a doula to a new mum. So much more than in previous years! Not just for a Closing the Bones session, but also for postnatal support at home and even for birth support๐Ÿ˜

And of course, the support that a group of mothers provides to other mums in the postpartum period to attend the Postnatal Circles๐Ÿ’ซ

Itโ€™s as if people are slowly beginning to understand better just how important it is to care for the mother during this important time. So mothers feel stronger, capable and cared for on their journey into motherhood๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿงก
Is something really changing?

PS the photo is from Christmas but I still send out gift vouchers during the rest of the year!

These words were shared by a mum who attended the Postnatal Circles๐Ÿ’ซ

And she was not the only one.

Thatโ€™s why some of the mothers who have attended my groups choose to pay it forward, helping make these circles more accessible for others๐Ÿงก

A powerful ripple of support.

Mother to mother.

Mothers who once sat in these same circlesโ€”who know how this season can feel, and wanted to make sure other mothers feel supported too.

We currently have two half-price spaces available.

If you feel called to join us, Iโ€™d love to welcome you in April.

28/03/2026

As a mother and someone who supports women in the postpartum period, I see how many mothers feel guilty and ashamed about something that is rarely spoken about: anger.

'Mum rage' can make you feel isolated. Many women worry that there is something wrong with them when they experience these feelings.

But the reality is that it is a signal.

It is a sign that mothers are unsupported, exhausted and expected to cope alone with too much.

Rather than facing more guilt and silence, mothers need more support and understanding, as well as spaces where they can speak openly about what the postpartum period is really like.

It's time to change the narrative.

If you are looking for a place where you can be yourself, connect with other mothers and receive support, you are more than welcome to join my postnatal groups.

You don't have to do it alone๐Ÿงก

It is with so much love and tenderness that we share this news ๐Ÿค
After 10 beautiful, transformative years, Yurt in the City will be closing its doors.
A place for healing, connection, circles, sound, stillness, laughter and tears. A space where practitioners found their voice and confidence, and where so many people came exactly as they were and felt met.

Over the years weโ€™ve been held and supported by incredible people and places. Thank you to everyone at The Boneyard, where this dream first took root. To Meanwhile House for the chapters weโ€™ve written within your walls. To every practitioner who has offered their gifts inside the yurt you are the heartbeat of what this space became. And to every single person who stepped through the door for a class, a treatment, a ceremony, a workshop, a conversation you are woven into this story.

With rising rent and increasing business costs, it has simply become unsustainable to continue. This decision has not been made lightly. There is grief here, but also immense gratitude.

We especially want to honour Marcos, our founder and the visionary who brought Yurt in the City into existence. Marcos created more than a physical structure, he created a feeling. A refuge. A place rooted in warmth, inclusivity and possibility. His belief in community, in healing, and in the power of gathering shaped the spirit of the yurt from the very beginning.

After Marcos passed, the loss was deeply felt by so many of us. In the midst of their own profound grief, Abi and Rowan, his wife and son, showed extraordinary generosity. They kindly allowed practitioners to continue holding space in the yurt, keeping its heart beating while they navigated life without him. That gift given during such a tender time is something we will never forget.

Spaces like this donโ€™t really close. They ripple out through the people theyโ€™ve touched. They evolve. They seed new beginnings.

Thank you for ten years of magic, courage, community and growth. The canvas may come down, but what was created here will always live on ๐Ÿค

Today, I am beginning a new block of the Postnatal Circles and welcoming new mums and their babies.

This will also be the last block held in the beautiful yurt. The yurt will close at the end of March.

It has been an incredible three years holding circles for pregnant women, new mothers, and mothers at other stages of motherhood. All of these women seeking connection, support and community on their motherhood journeys.

I feel a mix of emotions: sadness, gratitude, tiredness and excitement. The yurt is closing, but other doors are opening: new collaborations and opportunities.

This March, the circles continue in the beautiful yurt, and it is the magic that comes when women support each other that is the best way to honour and give thanks for the incredible space that Marcos once created.

๐ŸงกThank you, Yurt. Thank you, Marcos.

๐ŸŒปPostnatal Circles: Mondays from 10:30 to 12pm
