Thank you all for your patience the last couple of weeks.
We've been dealing with lots of car disasters that have taken up a lot of my time, only leaving me time for teaching my classes. So admin has had to take a back seat to keep all the other plates spinning. It's been a lot!

Thank you for your understanding, that should be all enquiries replied to now, if I've missed you, give me a nudge.

Spaces still available in some classes, so feel free to get in touch to join our wee community. 🥰

Signing out for just now to continue with my allocated missions for today.

Check out my stories for today's antics....... 🤣

A wee holiday announcement.....

This Friday is February Midterm hols for the schools so I am taking a wee scheduled break from daytime teaching to look after my little people and spend some prescious time together.

There will be NO Mum and Baby classes on.....

Tuesday 10th February

And

Wednesday 11th February

Evening classes will continue as usual.

Daytime classes will resume again the week beginning the 16th February and all classes will then continue until the Easter Holidays, when I will then be taking some time off with my family.

Wishing all of you a lovely Midterm break and hoping this awful weather settles so we can all get outside again and burn off some of the crazy.
Until then I'm hanging in there and dreaming of Spring.

Happy New Year All!

I am slowly and reluctantly emerging from the cosy slow paced bliss of the Festive Period.

Apologies for being MIA on social media over the Festive period, it was a conscious decision I made to not succumb to the expectation and pressure to keep showing up here whilst taking time off to be with my family. Did I feel guilty doing so, yes, should I have felt guilty, NO! This I will work on next time.
But the question is..... am I glad I did so. YES.

Some of you know my wee family had a tough time last year, especially in Nov and Dec, and that tough time does not look like it will ease up anytime soon, So this was much needed, precious family time to refill their cups, re-bulid their resilience supply and allow my little people to relax fully so their nervous systems can reset.

Today the plan was to catch up on Admin and Enquiries with my childfree time..... but instead the reality is I am juggling 4 kids and work. 🤣

But the main message I want to send out today is that there will be NO Classes this week.

🌟🌟🌟CLASSES WILL RECOMMENCE FOLLOWING THE FESTIVE 🌟🌟🌟
BREAK NEXT WEEK

When hopefully the weather is more predictable and it is safer to head out.

Until then, I am where I always am for you all.... at the end of WhatsApp, if you need any support at all.

Stay safe and cosy, and I'll see you all soon.

This beautiful girl was in Izzies class just before Summer, she is the big sister of one of Doms friends.

If you can spare any pennies at all to help this family, even if it's just your charity donation in leui of sending Xmas cards. Every penny helps. 🙏🙏🙏

It's Holiday time!

Autumn is here, a time to slow down, gaze inwards and to recharge.
It's school hols and I'm taking time to practice what I preach and be present for my little gang.

So I'll be here in the background, checking inboxes and replying as and when I can.

Classes return the W/B 26th October, so see you then!

Have a wee read... what do you think??? Pop it below. 👇

Culture often defines postpartum as a quick “recovery period.” But science tells us something different. Postpartum isn’t about “bouncing back.”

Research led by Dr. Magdalena Martínez-García shows that the maternal brain continues to change for up to six years after birth. Gray matter and cortical thickness decrease beginning in pregnancy and through the postpartum period. These changes are not loss, they’re adaptation. They expand a mother’s capacity for emotional connection and responsiveness.

A 2024 study published in Nature Neuroscience confirmed this transformation, using precision imaging to track the brain from preconception through two years postpartum. The results reveal what women have always known: motherhood rewires us in ways that make us stronger, more resilient, and deeply attuned.

Postpartum is not only about recovery. It is strength. It is resilience. It is evolution.
