supporting positive maternal mental health
WELCOME
We are so glad you made it.
........
Are you ready to let go of the struggle, work with your changing body and create a sense of freedom?
Then read on....
Let me tell you something. I struggled in my first pregnancy. I was immobile, in pain, anxious, stressed and it showed. It also carried through to my labour, birth and it really showed in my post partum period. I thought I just had to persevere, go with it, I thought pain was part of it, I thought everyone had excruciating pelvic pain!
I realised I was wrong but it took 3 years, till I was pregnant again to fully realise that there is another way.
Does your body feel good? Do you move your body mindfully in ways that feel intuitive and nourishing?
If the answer is no, don't worry. I was there too.
Let me introduce you to
The Mellow Mummas Method
A combination of: movement, mindfulness, breathwork, relaxation, education and support.
If you want to learn about feel good ways to stay mobile and mindful throughout pregnancy and post partum then you are in the right place.
I have been teaching this method to hundreds of parents to be now for a few years but I fully realised it's power recently, during my second pregnancy.
Throughout the 9 months (well 9.5 she stayed in till 42 weeks - more about that in the blog!) I honestly felt great. I had a few short periods of discomfort but I knew what I needed to do and who I needed support from to help me. I headed in my birth feeling educated, informed and supported and I welcome my baby into the world using my breath and intuition.
If you want to experience a different pregnancy from one portrayed in the mainstream media then this is great place to begin.
These practices increase your awareness which is the foundation of any transformative experience. And that is exactly what birth is.
Are you ready?

I cant believe how much these classes have made a difference for me! My body feels good and I always feel so calm afterwards. After practicing for a few weeks I saw a big improvement in my sleep too! Thanks Mellow Mummas!

I look forward to these classes so much. I feel like its the perfect amount of effort and relaxation. Being able to practice at home was an adjustment at first but now I love it. I practice the breathing exercises whenever i can, in the bath and when i get into bed and they really help me relax.

JENNY CLARK
I found yoga in my late teens. As a competitive figure skater I was looking for something to help flexibility and mobility. I re-discovered it for the second time following a car crash and for a third time when living in Canada where power vinyasa was widely taught. I was in love and decided to train as a teacher in 2011. I have been guiding yoga, mainly vinyasa styles all over the world ever since. My interest moved to Pre and Post Partum whilst pregnant with my daughter and I retrained in this speciality with various schools. I am driven my possibility and holding space for whats needed. Outwith Mellow Mummas my job involves a lot of personal and leadership coaching and from time to time that weaves into my teaching.
