Appeal to raise £3000 for Birth Trauma Counselling & Therapeutic Services run by Radiant Mama in Devon

02/07/2025

We have passed the half way mark 🎉, thanks to the mamas who have recently joined our small group of walkers/runners for the 5k Radiant Mama fundraising event this Saturday.

It's been really heartwarming to see the commitment of these mamas with their little ones, willing to do this for Radiant Mama, in appreciation of what they received through our groups and funded counselling session.

I won't be doing the whole 5k run/walk myself as I had planned, my body isn't up for it, but I'll be there with them and the team, cheering them on and walk what I can.

We are raising funds to keep the Radiant Mama* counselling/ therapeutic services and weekly groups running until we hopefully get our next lot of funding in November.

The services are offered on a donation basis, so accessible to all in need.

Could you sponsor us?

Our work brings so much support and care to our community of expectant and new parents and we need your support to keep doing it.

All.donations are welcomed, small or large. It all makes a difference.

Thank you. Xx

Solstice blessings. 🌹

This year has been a time when I have had to do a lot of letting go. The latest is of the 5k walk/run I was planning to do to raise funds for radiant mama next month.

My body has been letting me know lately that it's beyond her capacity, even to walk it gently.

My son and his friends have kindly offered to step in and do the run instead of me. I am very grateful to them both 🙏🏽🌿

They don't have the contacts to raise money so I am reaching out to see if you would be willing to sponsor them.

We are raising funds to keep the radiant mama counseling/ therapeutic services running until we hopefully get our next lot of funding in November. The services are offered on a donation basis, so accessible to all in need.

The money raised will also help towards our funding application.

We hope to be able to resume our services after the run on the 5th of July. We have people waiting

We really hope you can help.
It's a vulnerable time for many.

Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you 🙏🏽

If you would like to join the run, just pm me. It would be great to have more people taking part.

I will be there, not running but cheering the team on, including my son and his friend.

Thank you and blessings on your day. 🌹

Radiant Mama warmly invites you to walk (or hop, skip, stroll or run) 5K with us on Saturday 5th July, in association with Park Run 5k at Sharpham Estate.

Pregnancy is beautiful — and also hard and overwhelming.

You’re growing a human, navigating huge changes… and still expected to keep going as if everything is the same.

If you’ve felt anxious, overstretched, or fearful — you’re not alone.

✨ And you’re not broken. Your nervous system just needs support, not pressure.

That’s where Self Havening comes in.

Join my free masterclass to learn how this gentle, touch-based technique helps ease anxiety, fear, and emotional overload.

🗓 Tuesday 3rd June 11am.
🎟 Free | Zoom | Replay available

On this masterclass I’ll also be speaking about my upcoming relaxing and nourishing residential pregnancy retreat in Devon, June 26-29th, for those of you who would like more space, support and tools for your pregnancy, birth and beyond.

I would like to offer a weekend residential retreat for mothers of all ages in March. It would end on mother's Day just after lunch, in time to return home and be celebrated by the family, if appropriate.

Manifest is a men and boys camp which has been happening on Dartmoor for over 20 years. It has often ended on father's Day.

I remember Chris returning home to our family's celebration of father's Day many times. It made it really special for him to step back into his home this way.

I wonder how many mothers would feel comfortable to start their mother's Day being acknowledged and celebrated by other mothers before returning home to their family.

I would be grateful for any input before I decide whether to go ahead with the retreat.
Thank you 🙏🏽🌿.
