Because even superheroes need biscuit breaks. 🍪💪

Some days I feel like I’m juggling about 47 tabs in my brain at once — school runs, what to cook for dinner , forgotten PE kits, work, the washing mountain… and somehow still pretending I’ve got it all together 😅

My two are 13 and 11 now, so it’s less nappies and night feeds, more eye rolls and lost chargers 🙃 But honestly, as much as I love being a mum, it doesn’t get easier — it just changes shape.

And that’s exactly why I love running my baby massage and yoga classes. Yes, they’re for the babies (and they’re adorable), but really… they’re for you.

A space to exhale, stretch, have a chat about who slept last night (or didn’t!), put the worlds to rights and remember that you’re not the only one winging it. We laugh, we share, sometimes we get a bit teary, and we always finish with a cuppa and biscuit — because some things are sacred ☕🍪

So if you fancy a bit of time just for you, surrounded by lovely, non-judgemental mums who totally get it — come and join us. You’ll be so glad you did ❤️

🌿 What Makes My Pregnancy Yoga & Hypnobirthing Classes Unique 🌿

These classes aren’t just pregnancy yoga — they’re a complete mind-body preparation for birth.

✨ More than movement
Yes, we stretch, strengthen, and release tension — but every posture is chosen to support your body for birth: encouraging optimal baby positioning, easing common pregnancy aches, and helping you feel grounded and confident as your body changes.

🌀 Hypnobirthing woven through every class, you’ll experience how yoga and Hypnobirthing blend beautifully. Each class includes simple yet powerful breathing techniques, relaxation, and mindset tools drawn from hypnobirthing — helping you build calm confidence week by week.

💬 Birth education in every session
We talk about what’s really happening in your body, what’s normal, and how to support it. You’ll leave each class feeling more informed and empowered to make the choices that are right for you.

💗 Community and connection
You’ll meet other mums-to-be who are on the same journey — a supportive space to share, ask, and laugh together.

🌸 Mind, body, and baby
These classes prepare not just your body for labour, but your mind for the calm, confident, and positive birth you deserve.

“Hey everyone — just a little reminder for World Mental Health Day. 💚
Take a moment today to check in with yourself — how are you really doing?
And if you can, reach out to someone you care about and ask the same. Sometimes a simple message or chat can make such a difference.
And don’t forget to do one small thing that makes you feel good — a walk, a cup of tea in peace, a stretch, a cuddle with a pet or just a few deep breaths.
Because looking after our mental health isn’t just for today — it’s something we build, little by little, every day.”

🌸 Why come to my pregnancy yoga and Hypnobirthing classes (even if you’ve never touched your toes)? 🌸

Let’s be honest — I’m not a super-flexy yogi who can float into a headstand before breakfast. But here’s what I am: a fully qualified pregnancy yoga instructor who understands the amazing benefits of safe, gentle movement during pregnancy.

Here’s why you’ll fit right in (and why you’ll love it):

🤰 No experience needed — If you can breathe, stretch a little, and occasionally giggle when your balance wobbles, you’re more than qualified.

🧘‍♀️ All abilities welcome — Whether you’ve never rolled out a yoga mat before or you’re a seasoned yogi, every movement can be adapted to suit your body, your bump, and your ability level.

💪 Real benefits — Movement in pregnancy can help with:
✨ Reducing aches and tension
✨ Boosting circulation and energy
✨ Supporting optimal baby positioning
✨ Helping you feel calmer and more confident for birth

💬 And me?
I might not always have the best downward dog in the room, but I do know what’s safe, supportive, and effective for your changing body. I’ll guide you with evidence-based knowledge, a sense of humour, and a lot of heart.

Come for the yoga, stay for the community (and the laughs).
Because pregnancy movement doesn’t need to be perfect — it just needs to feel good. 💕

Our bodies are designed to move between activity and rest — between “doing” and “being.” But modern life can keep us in a constant state of alertness, leaving our nervous system stuck in overdrive.

The vagus nerve plays a key role in bringing us back into balance. It helps regulate our heart rate, digestion, and emotional calm. When we breathe deeply and intentionally relax our body, we gently activate the vagus nerve, signalling safety and allowing our body and mind to return to a state of rest and restoration.

This short, guided body scan is designed to help you reconnect with your body, release tension, and rediscover a sense of calm confidence. You can do it sitting, lying down, or even standing — wherever you feel most comfortable.
