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!

Apologies, a little bit late on the thanks for those who donated to the Women Supporting Women Fund in June. Thank you! Your generosity ensured four women were able to access support from Moon Women's Health. If you'd like to know more about the fund check out the link in our bio3 days ago

Very excited by the latest artwork to grace the walls of Moon. Inspired by the 100th anniversary of the Ladies' Pond, and crafted by local artist Jen Cable. The ponds hold a special place in many of our hearts, each of us with our own stories entwined into its waters. There's even a specific term for the calming, meditative, and peaceful state that being in or near natural water creates. Blue Mind. Jen was first introduced to its charms by her grandma, some 50 years ago, and once you've had the experience, it never leaves you. In Jen's words... "In winter I ease slowly down the ladder to meet the dark, icy chill that wakes up every nerve in my body. A brief minute, or at most two, then it's out, past the icicles and off to a cafe to warm up whilst my skin tingles with joy. In summer, moorhens, mandarin ducks and mallards swim by with their chicks from nests built on the life buoys and I bask in the cool sparkle of the water, staring up at the blue sky." What about you? Where are you cooling off? We'd love to hear your stories of the pond in its centenary year. Or, if you've never been, then maybe this is the year to try; it's a magical place.4 days ago
