Relax With Lucy & Co was set up to offer well-being and mental health support through the provision of mindfulness & relaxation interventions. The organisation was set up by our founder Lucy Livesey - mental health nurse and bereaved mother following the loss of her daughter Ellie in 2017. Lucy and our team of instructors deliver projects to help support the baby loss community through the development of mindfulness & relaxation resources. We offer both well-being baby loss tailored support in addition to general well-being support to help people improve their overall sense of wellbeing.

Productive weekend here at the Ellie's Gift project as this weekend we have managed to record in total, 21 videos for our app which will form some of the resources in our dedicated support TFMR area of the app (Termination for medical reasons).

This is a passion project, all because of Ellie who died in 2017. The app has been developed in our own time, is now present across NHS trusts in the UK and is also being used across another 35 countries to date.

It's an ever growing project and it's thanks to funding from the The Fore that we have also been able to employ our very first hospital liaison coordinator stacy coltman who's role is to ensure the app is embedded in the places that it's needed most.

Thankyou for following and supporting and if you feel you can help us in any way - whether that be through your expertise/funding avenues or anything else you think would help us please reach out!

✨ Over 130 Books sold! ✨

It’s just under a month since we launched Ellie’s Gift - A Mindful Approach to Grief & Baby Loss and there is already over 130 copies either in bereaved families homes or ready for them in a bereavement suite.

All profits made from book sales go straight back into funding the support we offer, helping us reach more families who need us.

💜 Thank you to everyone who has purchased and donated this month, your support means so much! 💜

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.

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.

✨ Find them here: https://m.youtube.com//streams ✨

Two weeks ago, Lucy, had the honour of presenting at the Collaboration Café to share more about Ellie’s Gift and our new mindfulness book 📖

Lucy also spoke about the exciting research partnership with Lancaster University, as the team moves forward with plans to validate the Ellie’s Gift mindfulness intervention through a dedicated research project.

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with passionate, like-minded people who share a vision for compassionate, evidence-based support.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved and to Stuart Powers for capturing the moment so beautifully!
