I guide postpartum women through the physical & emotional transformation of early motherhood.
I care for you whilst you care for your babies.
I bring care into Motherhood and into your home.
Slip INTO a space of connection AND movement where we Honour & support YOUr NEEDs AS A MOTHER.
It's your birthright to explore the depth of this transition and find answers to questions such as:
Will my pelvic floor ever be the same again?
How do I give myself permission to take a moment for myself when my baby is crying, my toddler raging, and my partner exhausted?
How do I love and cherish my body when it feels so different to me?
How do I tend to and support my body when I’m feeling vulnerable?
How do I talk about the emotional heavy lifting and frustrations I’m feeling as a mother?
Hi, I’m sophie,
Every single Mother experiences changes to her body as a result of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Yet most Mothers never receive the support they need to comfortably manage these changes.
Too often, new mums push themselves hard in an effort to ‘bounce back to normal’ whilst doing all the cooking and the housework, alone in the house with a crying baby.
Too many new mums have no idea how important it is to look after themselves. Instead they focus entirely on the baby often ending up completely depleted or struggling with exhaustion, mastitis, pelvic floor problems, relationship issues, and an identity crisis around their own purpose and capabilities.
Too many Mothers find the transition into motherhood so damn haaaaard.
But what if there was a better way to ease into those long sleepless nights and fragile first years when life can feel out of control?
What if postpartum felt like a gift to yourself?
What if it felt like magic - a sanctuary full of tenderness, reverence, and respect coupled with gentle ritual, movement and guidance?
You were not meant to
walk this Path of motherhood alone.
