Hi, I’m Sophie Jeffries.

As a qualified and experienced postnatal doula, pilates instructor & educator, shiatsu therapist, and mother of two, I love supporting mothers throughout pregnancy, right after birth, and deep into the long years of Mothering.

My focus is on helping women to prevent and recover from injuries related to pregnancy, birth and motherhood. Specifically core injuries such as Pelvic Girdle Pain. Pelvic Organ Prolapse. Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. Diastasis Recti. Postnatal Depletion. All common conditions that can often be preventable and recoverable from, if only women were provided with the knowledge and support they need to be able to deeply care for their body.

My intentions are to help women learn to Mother themselves, just as they Mother their gorgeous children. Tend to their mama bodies with restorative bodywork and regenerative movement.

And most importantly, befriend their body with kindness and reverence.

“I can’t imagine what my postpartum experience would have been like without you, so thank you for your beautiful support – your wisdom and kindness and gentleness, as well as your cooking and massage and all your other skills! I felt so loved and supported and I think it has set me up for motherhood in the most perfect way. I feel nourished, I understand how I need to rest, I feel more confident as a mother.”
– Mama Damaris
