Have you given birth?
Would you like a way to honour that experience with a bodywork ceremony?

Postpartum Closing ceremony is inspired by practices from Mexico & Ecuador using a shawl to gently rock and bind the body

You can experience closing anytime after birth. It can be especially potent during the fourth trimester

I offer these experiences as home visits to build on the sense of safety we feel in our own homes

During the initial consultation I tend to ask how you like to receive love and build your ceremony around that. Because for me these ceremonies are about giving and receiving love, mother to mother, heart to heart, womb to womb

If this resonates and feels like something you’d like to explore or experience please get in touch♥️

Seasonal Rest Ritual
2nd Nov 17:00-19:30

Restorative practices to align with the time of year.

In the Wheel of the year this is a time when it is said the veil is thin many honour ancestors and for some it marks a new beginning.

All things begin in the darkness, seeds germinate underground and new life forms in the womb.

This session is an opportunity to settle into stillness calling on yoga asana, pranayama and meditation. A sacred pause, a remembrance.

Being passionate about rest and Feeling rested don’t always go hand in hand in my reality as a mother

There are times when everything feels so easy and there are times when I lay on the floor breathing, counting to ten steeling myself through the sensory overload

Some of my parenting choices have affected how rested I feel. Breastfeeding and cosleeping meant more sleep in the early days and now that feels different

There are times where I feel like a hypocrite talking about rest while I wonder when I might next sleep undisturbed through a night

And then I think about how I’d cope without my passion for rest. Where would I be without my daily meditation? Where would I be if I didn’t listen for my breath? How would I be coping without the feeling of being connected to something bigger than me?

Hello everyone! I am happy to announce that I am returning to holding space for groups. As it’s been so long it feels fitting to reintroduce myself

I am Shakira
Woman, Mother, Complementary Therapist, and Yoga guide.

My deepest wish is to create and hold spaces safe enough to slow down rest body and mind and experience your whole self

My work is an offering and an expression of all that I am. I share from the heart and infuse my work with what excites and inspires me in my ordinary life

To my work I bring a deep reverence of the earth and her wisdom. I look to nature for guidance and inspiration. I tend a garden and live as close to the seasons as I can

I bring ten years of conscious menstruation and a deep gratitude for all the wisdom, insight and belonging I experience through the rites of the womb. I believe each cycle, pregnancy and birth offers me renewal and remembrance of who and what I am

I bring a depth of sensitivity, cultivated through years of shyness and observant listening. I try my best to meet my work from a trauma informed place

My work includes hands on bodywork. Body massage, reflexology and aromatherapy


I offer perinatal massage, postpartum closing ceremonies and mother blessings.

I host group sessions sharing restorative practices including yoga and meditation

And this autumn I have some embodied rest events for the people of Sheffield. I’ll be sharing all the details very soon.

It’s so good to be back!

I am pausing my group yoga sessions until further notice.

I had an accident and while I am not seriously injured I have received insight into how I am spending my time and what I am prioritising

My sincerest apologies to those who had booked and to anyone else who was considering coming for the Imbolc Dream circle

I am taking the next couple of Saturdays away from massage and will be back in the studio February 17th

And so as the image says I am closed for restoration. I am taking time to remember myself. I will be resting, eating and communing with Great Mother until I remember ♥️

Imbolc Dream Circle

Saturday 3rd Feb 3-5:30pm
Hill Valley Yoga

A restorative yoga circle. Space and time for conscious rest in community.

In the Wheel of the Year we are offered a series of waypoints that signify seasonal changes.

Imbolc heralds the first stirrings of spring and to me it feels like the first sign of winters end.

Join me to honour and align with this seasonal change with restorative yoga practices and a sharing circle.

Each session I host is tailored to the energy of that specific phase or season. I am very much guided by the natural world and over the last ten years I have used the Wheel of the Year to inspire and guide me.

This session can be an opportunity to pause and notice any seasonal changes, to reflect on the season that has passed and prepare for what may come.

Our time will include
✨ Movement
✨ Supported asana (postures)
✨ Pranayama (breath practices)
✨ Meditation
✨ Sharing circle

Saturday 3rd Feb 3-5:30pm
Hill Valley Yoga
£33 / £36 / £39
12 spaces available - ALL welcome

Booking link in bio or send payment via PayPal or bank transfer and DM.

I am able to offer 2 fully supported spaces at this session, open to POC individuals. Please DM to express interest and secure your place ♥️
