I’m passionate about the benefits of postpartum support. Through 1-2-1 planning, workshops and circles I help people to plan so they can thrive during postpartum and beyond.

Support can help mother heal effectively, regain initial strength and also benefit longer term wellness but the impact is positive for the wider family unit too, promoting family bonding and creating space to listen to instincts and understand baby’s cues.

I’m mother of three daughters aged 12, 10 and 5 with birth experiences ranging from a labour ward to home birth. My postpartum experiences were as unique as each birth because my needs, expectations and preferences changed. I believe there is no ‘right’ way to enter motherhood but that by listening to intuition and surrounding ourselves by those who support and respect our preferences we can ease the transition for both mother and baby.

As an accredited postnatal doula and breastfeeding supporter, I also support families with in-home visits and virtual support during the postpartum period. Whether it’s holding space to process birth, providing nourishing food or helping you navigate your transition to post partum life, I help craft a care plan that helps you and your family to adapt.

A big welcome to Olivia Baker to the Moon Women's Health Practitioner Cohort. As a Holistic Wellness Practitioner, Olivia has a wealth of knowledge and skills but at Moon focuses on Lymphatic Drainage, Trigger Point Massage and Mindfulness. Over to Olivia 👇 I’m a holistic wellness practitioner with a passion for supporting women to reconnect with their bodies, nourish their nervous systems, and reclaim their sense of balance and vitality. After developing autoimmune conditions nearly 4 years ago I had to rebuild my own health from the ground up, where I found reregulating my nervous system and creating an internal environment of safety, through somatic and mindfulness practices, to have the most potent impact on realigning my wellbeing. With a warm and grounded approach, I create empowering spaces offering accessible and transformational tools to encourage healing and optimise wellbeing. Combining my bodywork, energy healing and mindfulness facilitation, I work both 1-1 and in groups to support women in slowing down, tuning in, and reconnecting with their natural rhythms - physically, mentally, and emotionally. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing begins with coming home to ourselves - and that every woman deserves to feel held, heard, and empowered in her journey toward wholeness. When I’m not delving into my work you will usually either find me roaming around Hampstead Heath and climbing trees or in the dojo doing Muay Thai! Find out more about Olivia via our bio.

At Moon, we love how Five Element acupuncture helps us work with the rhythms of the seasons. Summer is the time of the Fire element - linked to the Heart, joy, and connection. But just like fire, this energy needs tending. Too much, and we burn out. Too little, and we feel flat or anxious. Acupuncture says the Heart houses the Shen - our spirit, presence, and emotional wellbeing. When Fire energy is balanced, we feel warm, connected, and joyful. When it’s out of balance, we may feel: 🔥 Socially overwhelmed 🔥 Wired but tired 🔥 Anxious or unsettled This summer, tend your own flame at The Acupuncture Collective - calm the nervous system, regulate sleep, and support your Heart energy - so you can enjoy summer fully, without tipping into burnout. Our June collective lands just before the Summer Solstice, the peak of light and Fire energy. It’s the perfect moment to pause, reset, and nourish your inner joy—gently, in nourishing community energy. Curious what acupuncture can help with this summer? 🔥 Restless sleep? 🔥 Feeling overwhelmed? 🔥 Emotional fatigue or burnout? 🔥 Low joy or energy? Yes, it can. Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 16th June - Find out more and book via our bio.
