For many families who have experienced baby loss, holiday celebrations like Halloween can bring unexpected waves of grief. Often through reminders of what’s missing.

If today feels heavy, please know you’re not alone.
It’s okay to step back, to switch off the lights, or to find your own quiet way to honour your baby.

Grief doesn’t follow the calendar and you don’t need to either. 💜 Take care of your heart this weekend, please be gentle with yourself.

Preparing for the birth of your baby after loss is something no parent ever imagines having to face. But, if you do, you shouldn’t have to face it alone. We’re here by your side.

Our FREE Ellie’s Gift App was created to gently support you through this heartbreaking time. Inside the app, you’ll find compassionate resources designed to help you feel a little less lost in the moments that feel overwhelming:
• Thoughtfully prepared hospital bag checklists
• Guidance on writing a birth plan after loss
• Gentle birth preparation videos to help you with breathing and calming techniques

Every family deserves support, and every baby’s story deserves to be held with care. We are here for you, every step of the way.

You can download the FREE Ellie’s Gift App on both Apple and Android 💜

When you’re grieving, the smallest movements, such as a deep breath, a gentle stretch and the act of simply showing up for yourself, can begin to create moments of release and calm.

Through Ellie’s Gift, we’ve created a series of free yoga and relaxation sessions on YouTube, designed to support you in your own time and space.

These practices are gentle, accessible and created to help you reconnect with your body in a safe and nurturing way.

You don’t need to have any experience or feel “ready.” Just bring yourself, as you are.
Whether you join us for five minutes or a full session, we hope these videos offer you a moment of peace, and a reminder that you are not alone in this.

It was through her own self discovery that Lucy went onto complete additional training to be able to teach people to find a sense of calm and balance. Lucy is able to do this through her work as a nurse, birth worker and meditation instructor. Lucy is warm, caring, compassionate and continues to learn and develop.
