Where are you on the breastfeeding award chart, mamas? At 7 years of breastfeeding that ended in April for me, I'm a triple award diamond bo***es with golden bo***es on the top! haha🤣🍎🍎

Let’s see where we’re all up to now…

One feed or one year, you’re all incredible

Hello folks! It's been a while since I've done a little bio, so here's a bit about me...

I'm Bex, I am a wellbeing practitioner from Blaenau Gwent.

I trained in pregnancy yoga after having to travel out of area to keep my regular yoga practice up when pregnant with my now seven year old son, and the benefits of pregnancy yoga were so far-reaching for me, I trained in it.

After an uphill battle to conceive, the experience of losses, and working in frontline trauma support, attending pregnancy yoga was not only the calming anchor I needed every week, but also, it helped me to connect to my baby, believe my pregnancy was finally happening, and - I believe - helped me sustain my pregnancy so I felt I needed to share this powerful work with other women in the hope it could help them too.

Having studied developmental psychology, counselling and an English degree that focussed on women's work and feminism, with 8 years working in domestic abuse support, trauma recovery and later teaching counselling, supporting women through the massive - and often vulnerable - transitions of pregnancy and early motherhood was a natural choice.

Our classes are not your ordinary "workout". They are delivered from my core beliefs and passion to support women through every chapter of womanhood.

They are "the village" of community women need in pregnancy and early motherhood.

They are the hug of held space as all your stuff is heard and understood.

They are the sharing of knowledge that empowers you in your pregnancy and motherhood journey.

Our classes are not about slamming our bodies to get back into our teeny jeans in an unrealistic amount of time. They are not about judging ourselves or comparing ourselves against the other women in the room or, quite frankly, of putting up a bu****it facade of perfection.

Our classes are about making space for Real Women. Real Bodies. Real Conversations and celebrating how bloody marvellous our bodies are. As they are.

They're about allowing ourselves the space to be liberated in our authenticity. Just as we are.

They empower women with reliable evidence to make informed choices and remember they have rights over what happens with - not to - their bodies in pregnancy and birth.

And, in a sea of groups that are all about the baby, they are the class with the ethos "hold the mama, so she can hold the baby".

We cannot pour from an empty cup mamas. We show up as the most loving, conscious parents when our needs are met too and this ripples out from generation to generation.

Now my three-year-old is in nursery, stay tuned for therapeutic offerings for all women, and a rebrand coming soon.

Drop me a message to join one of our lovely classes.

All the loves, Bex xx 07898 833774

Feedback Friday!
"Where do I even start? There are so many amazing things to say about this class and about Bex.
In a nutshell, the knowledge and techniques she teaches genuinely have the power to shape your pregnancy and motherhood in such a positive way. I’m so glad I found her, because I truly believe my labour would have been very different without the facts and truths she shares.
She gently reminds us as new mothers that we do have a choice in what happens to our bodies during labour, whichever way baby decides to make their entrance into the world. There were so many pieces of information that really stayed with me throughout pregnancy, and even into the early weeks of postpartum. Bex was a solid rock to rely on for support, knowledge, and reassurance.
Not to mention the relaxation and the laughs — such a mood booster 🤍 Joining Bex’s class was one of the best decisions I made". Casey Grant

For super reliable, up-to-date info on induction and other procedures you might be offered in pregnancy that you don't altogether understand, see the website and books of Dr Sara Wickham to help you make informed choices.

When it comes to offering induction towards the end of pregnancy, women are often told that their placenta may fail to nourish their baby.

But women (and sometimes the same women) are also being told that their baby may get too big if they wait.

It’s clear that these things can’t both be true.

In fact, when you dive into the research and recommendations that relate to the end of pregnancy and the offer of induction of labour, this is just one of a number of paradoxes and things that don’t quite fit.

If you’d like to know more, I have a book which looks at these issues and many more.

It’s called “In Your Own Time: How western medicine controls the start of labour and why this needs to stop.”

When women support women, something beautiful happens. Our classes provide "the village" of support our culture has lost.
🌸Learn, laugh, share, grow and support: together. 🩷

Matriarchy isn’t women on top, it’s a circle with children and the vulnerable at the center.

It is not a mirror image of patriarchy, nor a reversal of domination. Matriarchy is rooted in care, responsibility, and collective survival.

Power is not hoarded at the top—it flows outward, guided by the needs of those who require protection the most.

Leadership is measured by nourishment, not control.

Strength is shown through safeguarding life, honoring interdependence, and valuing empathy as intelligence.

In this structure, women do not rule over others; they steward communities.

It is not about supremacy, but balance—where dignity is preserved, harm is minimized, and humanity is sustained.
