Wild Embers Pregnancy & Birth

26/11/2025

This season feels extra special in Wild Embers. So many families return — from previous pregnancies, from past classes, or moving gently from pregnancy into postnatal. Watching those bonds deepen, babies grow, and parents settle back into this space is honestly one of the biggest joys of what I do.

I’m so grateful for the trust, the laughter, the laid-back moments, and the beautiful connections between mums and babies that unfold every week.

If your journey with Wild Embers has supported you in any way — whether during pregnancy, postnatal, hypnobirthing, or on a return visit — I’d be so grateful if you could leave a review. Your words help other families find the support and community they deserve.

🌸 World Prematurity Day 💜

Today we honour all the tiny but mighty babies who began their journey earthside a little too soon.

The parents who rode the emotional rollercoaster with courage and grace.

The families and friends who held them up in every possible way.

The nurses and doctors who became like family, guiding each fragile moment with such care.

And we remember, too, the little stars who now shine down on us — always part of our world, always loved. ✨

💜 Here’s to the strength, the hope, and the heart that surrounds every story of prematurity.

✨ Full Circle Moments ✨

These two have been with me for over a whole year — womb side and earth side — and it’s been an absolute joy watching them grow together 🧡

I love seeing familiar faces return each term — mums hopping over from pregnancy yoga, coming back with a new baby, or continuing their postnatal journey. It honestly means the world that you choose to spend this special time with me 💛

And when the babies who heard my voice in pregnancy yoga recognise it again… pure magic ✨

Feeling so full after today’s classes — what a beautiful community we’re building 🌿

✨ 1:1 Hypnobirthing Session Reflections ✨

I've recently finished working with a lovely Mum, and together we shaped a course that truly met her needs — taking into account the trauma and challenges she experienced after her first birth and during her fourth trimester.

I absolutely loved our time together. Using her deep connection with water and sea diving, we created personal visualisations, breathing and distraction techniques that felt natural and empowering for her. We also explored the deeper roots of her tension and fear, helping her to release and rebuild trust in her body.

It’s been incredible to witness the shifts she’s already made in just six hours — recognising what may have hindered her first birth and stepping forward with such positivity and strength.

I can’t wait to hear how her next birth unfolds — I just know she’s going to smash it. 💪🌊

🌿 If you’d like to explore a 1:1 course designed entirely around you — your story, needs and preferences — message me to book a free discovery call. Together, we’ll shape a course that supports you to feel calm, capable and confident for birth.

✨ The first Wild Wander ✨

Join us this Thursday 6th November, 10am at Brigmerston & Milston Village Hall for a gentle 5 km countryside loop — time to stretch your legs, fill your lungs, and connect with good company.

The weather’s looking hopeful — sunshine and blue skies to make the most of this beautifully autumnal route, with golden leaves, crisp air and all those rich colours that make this season feel so special. 🍂

We’ll finish back at the village hall for a hot drink, fresh bake and a cosy warm-up ☕🥐

Getting outside with my babies has always helped me feel calmer, clearer and more like myself — there’s something about fresh air and good company that makes everything feel that bit easier. 🌾

This is a cross-country walk, so please wear suitable footwear.
Babies in carriers are recommended, though all-terrain buggies are suitable for this route too.

The walk is free to join, but a small donation towards hall hire and refreshments is always appreciated.

🚗 Parking: Limited spaces at the hall — you’re welcome to park on the grass in front or along the road beside the hedging.

Come as you are — no pace, no pressure, just nature, connection and a chance to wander wild. 🌿
