Hi! I’m Anna, and I’m so glad you’re here :-)

I live in Muswell Hill, North London with my husband and our 2 children.

Having worked with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers for a long time, and managing a nursery setting; it was always clear to me how much these early years mattered.

Watching how much they grow and change in the first few weeks and months, and understanding how important the attachments they have and the experiences they go through always fascinated me.

However, until I became a mum myself, I had no idea of the huge transformational experience that pregnancy, birth, and parenthood can bring. The importance of ‘mothering the mother’, and holding new parents in as much love and support as we desire to give new babies, suddenly became very clear to me.

With the amount of conflicting information and unnecessary stress and guilt out there, I knew I wanted to empower expecting and new parents make sense of it all, and find their own confidence.

I have done extensive training as a birth doula, an antenatal educator, a hypnobirthing teacher, a postnatal and breastfeeding counsellor, a first aid trainer, a baby massage instructor, a sleep coach and more! I never stop learning and growing, finding new ways to help and support parents in this incredible new phase of life.

Taking strong evidence based information in to account, whilst helping people work out how that applies to their specific and individual circumstances, is an important feature of how I work.

Being married to a paediatrician, we regularly despaired at the lack of support and information given to parents, and often discussed how a few small changes could make such a huge difference. Together we also now offer our Child Health Information Classes (CHIC) to help avoid pointless trips to GPs and A&E, instead empowering parents with up to date health knowledge.

As a mum of a baby and toddler myself, my experiences are all very recent, so I can promise to give up-to-date and relevant information. I can empathise and understand what it’s like, whilst also respecting everyone’s unique circumstances and supporting you in whatever way you need.

I feel so honoured to be part of so many people’s journey and would love to hear from you, to help make this transformational time as amazing as it can be x

This month Sophie and Dr Sunila are focusing on how acupuncture can support us through stressful and pressurised times...

Stress and anxiety can manifest in many ways - whether it’s racing thoughts that keep you up at night, a pounding heart, or an unsettled stomach. These feelings are your body’s way of signaling that it’s sensing danger, even if the threat isn’t immediate.

But when stress doesn’t switch off, it can feel like a pressure cooker building up inside. If left unchecked, this can lead to physical symptoms like tension headaches, digestive issues, or changes in your menstrual cycle. That’s where acupuncture can help.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, stress and anxiety disrupt the balance of Qi (energy) in the body and scatter the “Shen,” or spirit. Acupuncture helps to restore this balance, calming the mind and reconnecting the body.

From a Western perspective, acupuncture regulates the nervous system, helping to reduce stress hormones while stimulating the production of serotonin and dopamine—the same ‘happy’ chemicals targeted by anti-anxiety medications. This makes acupuncture a truly complementary way to help you manage stress and anxiety over the long term.

At the Acupuncture Collective, Sophie and Dr. Sunila offer treatments designed to bring your body and mind back into harmony. Whether you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or simply need a way to let off steam, acupuncture could be the vent you’ve been looking for.

Needles in, stress out.

Join Sophie and Dr. Sunila at the next Acupuncture Collective and take the first step toward finding your calm.

Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Wednesday 18th February.

Wow, a very generous donation from author Sofia Bothwell, a collection of her books focused on how addiction can manifest.

We'll be learning more about this session in an upcoming Instagram Live (18th Feb), so you can find out more then, as well as via a link in our bio ('What's On in February').

Also, a reminder to check out our library next time you're at Moon.
