As we wrap up World Breastfeeding Week, I want to celebrate all the incredible feeding journeys out there, the highs, the challenges, and the deep love woven through it all. 💛

To honour this week and give back, I am fundraising for the Central Lakes Breastfeeding Charitable Trust, a local organisation doing amazing work to support whānau on their journeys.

As part of this fundraiser:
– Prenatal yoga, Mums & Bubs yoga, and birth pool hire are all 50% off
– 25% of proceeds go directly to the Trust

If you’ve been thinking of joining a class or hiring a pool for your upcoming birth, now is the perfect time. It is a win-win: you receive nurturing support, and together we uplift others in our community.

Let’s keep the spirit of support flowing well beyond this week 🤍

I am extending the booking + discounts until the end of Aug; for birth pool hire you can book now for your birth in the next coming months. Limited spots available.

Reach out to me for details + bookings.

Today we wrapped up Mums & Bubs Yoga for the term.

This term felt a little extra special for me. It was the first time I experienced it as more than just a postpartum yoga or fitness class. It truly embodied everything that Mamas Village stands for: support, community, inclusivity, and a shared journey.

Together we moved mindfully, breathed deeply, shared laughs, had chats over yummy treats, and of course, were serenaded by the sweet (and sometimes loud) chorus of babies :p

To all the mums, bubs and the dads who showed up on the mat with us: thank you. I deeply appreciate your presence and connection, and I hope to see you in class again next term - unless if bubs graduated to a crawler! 💃🏽

To the wider whānau, I look forward to the chance to meet you soon. Sign ups for next term is now open ⬇️

Our first Mums, Bubs & Dads (Partners) Yoga session 💛

We started by asking: “What brought you here today?”
One partner simply said, “Just to be able to spend time and see what mum and baby usually get up to on Fridays.”
And that, right there, is why we opened this space.

It’s not just yoga. It’s connection.
Partners got to witness the quiet strength of the mums, trying to find a moment of peace, a breath, a stretch. While tending to their babies.
It’s a glimpse into what these mornings are like, and an opportunity to be part of it.

Thanks again for joining, dads 🙏

Let's spend the day Mamas Village way — with movement, connection, and community. 🌿

✨Mamas Village Prenatal Yoga✨

Mamas Village Prenatal Yoga is lovingly created for mummas who need a moment to pause, breathe, and connect with their pregnant bodies and growing babies. It is especially designed for those who struggle to find time for themselves during the week.

Start your Sunday slowly with this gentle, judgment-free yoga session—tune into your body, your breath, and your baby. Each class is about honouring where you are, both physically and emotionally, in a supportive and nurturing space.

After the 60 minutes yoga session, you are warmly invited to stay for an optional Connection Session, where tea, treats, and conversation await. Partners other pregnant mummas are welcome to join for this part of the morning—because community and support matter.

You don't have to be signed up to the class to join the Connection Session ❤️

Yesterday was truly special. Our very first Mamas Village retreat!
Sharing it with SoulJuice made it all the more meaningful. When Ella and I first met, we were just beginning our own journeys of growing our families — and to now be able to hold space for other families… it means the world to me.

There was so much connection — between parents and their little ones, and also between each person who came along.

My favourite part? Simply seeing everyone’s faces — the joy, the peace, the gratitude. The love that flowed so naturally between everyone.

This is just the beginning.
This is us growing our village. ❤️
