I've been working on something very exciting... 👀

14/10/2025

Baby Loss Awareness Week & International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day

Every October, I find myself pausing to remember the families and little ones who have left an imprint on my heart.

I’ve been supporting families in a variety of ways for 20 years, and in every single one of these roles, I have met people affected by perinatal loss. Whether through difficulty TTC, miscarriage, still birth, the death of a child or the many, many losses of IVF, including embryo loss.

Over the years, there have been individuals and families who stay in my heart and mind more than others. Sometimes for no particular reason, sometimes because of the pride I felt for all they overcame, and sometimes because of heartbreaking circumstances. In particular, the two families I’ve known who must carry the unbearable pain of the death of a child.

October marks both Baby Loss Awareness Week and International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. In a strange twist of fate, both of the children from those families died in October, on the 7th and the 13th, dates that are etched into my mind forever.

This week, as I light a candle for Thea and Kayden, I’ll also be thinking of all the babies and children who are loved and missed beyond words, and of the families who carry their memory every day.

Oh hi 👋 All yoga classes are currently full with waiting lists, and estimated start dates of mid-January 2026 at the earliest for Pregnancy and Baby Yoga 🤯 which is blowing my mind because aren't we still in the first half of 2025??!! Tell me I'm not the only one shocked to find ourselves in Autumn and at the start of the October break? 🍂

I usually end my classes by giving everyone an invitation to think of something they feel grateful for today. It's always just an invitation because I know some days it's really hard to think of a single thing you feel grateful for. But there's a growing body of evidence that having a regular gratitude practice has a positive effect on mental and physical wellbeing - like helping to reduce stress, improve sleep, and even boost resilience.

For me, it feels like a lovely way to bring my classes to a close, and one that I benefit from too.

Yesterday, as I paused at the end of each of my classes, I felt grateful for the people who return as clients. Right now, my entire baby yoga class is returning clients - they all came to pregnancy yoga with me, and half of them are back with their second or third pregnancies. Most of the wonderful people in my women's yoga class have been coming for years (despite the frequent disruption from visiting musical theatre groups 🔊😵‍💫) , and I have counselling clients who started with me when I was just a trainee and have returned to work together through my private practice.

That they chose to come back to me never fails to humble me.

I am grateful to you all, my clients.

Thank you for trusting me to walk alongside you, whether that’s through life’s bigger challenges or simply finding more balance in everyday life 🙏

Birth doesn't always go the way we imagined.

Most of us go into birth hoping for a positive, even empowering, experience. But for many people (too many), birth can feel frightening, overwhelming, or deeply unsettling. When that happens, it’s common to be left with feelings that are hard to talk about - flashbacks, anxiety, guilt, a sense of failure, or disconnection from yourself or your baby.

This is called birth trauma, and if it feels familiar, you are not alone 💜

I’m now offering targeted counselling sessions for birth trauma - a safe, compassionate space to share your story, process your experience, and begin to feel better.

You deserve support. You deserve to feel lighter, calmer, and more connected again.

🤍 Group Therapy for New Mums 🤍 So often in my yoga classes, I hear mums say that the chance to share their feelings and experiences with others who understand what they are going through has changed their lives.
