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.

Join Chi for tomorrow's Autumn Moon Gratitude Circle: Self-Compassion and Restorative Yoga. 5.30pm - 7.30pm Sat 4th Oct Moon Women's Health, NW5 Under the luminous glow of the Autumn Moon, traditionally celebrated in the East as the Full Moon of gratitude and togetherness, we gather to pause, soften, and honour the light within us. The evening begins with a quiet meditation to guide you inward, followed by an oracle card ritual and soulful journalling to open space for reflection. We then move into a restorative yoga immersion, supported by bolsters and blankets. In this restful and comfortable practice, the body softens, the mind unwinds and the heart remembers its own light. Gentle sounds of singing bowls will weave through the space, creating a field of stillness and belonging. This will be a small group gathering, held with warmth and care. All are welcome. No experience is needed, just come as you are. Find out more and book via our bio.

Balance your body, before the Winter Chill settles in at this Monday's Acupuncture Collective. This month we also have a special gift for you... (find out more in our bio). In Chinese medicine, our immune system is made up of layers of defence, and Acupuncture is our Holy Grail in fortifying these defences. We often talk about health as a marathon, not a sprint. With winter - and all its demands on our immune system - right around the corner, now is the perfect time for a pre-emptive tune-up. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, strengthening your Wei Qi (Protective Qi) now is the best way to prevent winter colds and keep your foundations strong. Whether you've been managing chronic digestive issues, navigating hormonal wobbles, or seeking support for your mental well-being, our Collective haven is here to help you. We'll be working to build that natural inner vitality so you can greet the colder months from a place of strength. Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 6th October. Find more details in our bio.
