A Mother's Feedback

The Circle has been a real source of support and nourishment for me as I emerged from a tricky birth into my fourth trimester. It’s been wonderful and very grounding to begin each new week surrounded by community, expertise and encouragement - not to mention cups of tea made by someone else, and drunk while hot! The Circle has become a touchstone of my week and has supported my journey not just with breastfeeding but also with finding my feet as a new mum in general. Thank you so much Thomasina, Simi and Alison!

There's no need to book, but you can below, if you want...

Simi Wilhelm Shah , Alison Shaloe and Thomasina Lowe's Offering at 10am - 12pm on Mondays (drop-in at any time).

What an ace time yesterday at the York Rise Street Party!

We loved meeting everyone who visited the stall.

Amazingly, we raised over £900 to support our New Mama & Parent One-Stop Drop-in. 

Big thanks to the skills and generosity of Mama Moon in knitting many, many jumpers, and all the practitioners who offered their experience and wisdom to run sessions at Moon - thank you!
