Pregnancy can sometimes feel isolating, and it can be challenging to find a supportive group of women who truly understand the highs and lows. We all crave a place where we can freely laugh, cry, and feel held during this special moment. It’s time to create lasting connections, share our stories, seek advice, and find companionship through pregnancy and into motherhood.
Everyone hopes for a smooth and straight forward birth, and are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. You’ve already taken steps by purchasing books and considering Hypnobirthing, but you may be wondering what else you can do to prepare and explore your options. Now’s the perfect time to look further than the traditional birth preparation methods to help you achieve our dream.
Pregnancy brings a flood of information that can quickly become overwhelming and as a busy mama, endless searching can be exhausting. How great would it be to have the latest advice from local birth experts in one place? Time to stop searching; it’s right here!
Immerse yourself in our 6-week, in-person course where we bring the online material to life through interactive and practical sessions that are educational and fun. The course takes place at Wild Roots Yoga studio, a beautiful and welcoming space in the heart of Hackney. Your host, Suzie, is an experienced Naturopathic Doula who will guide you throughout the course.

“Suzie is such a beacon of light for women and especially mothers. One who really stands with us on our various journey into motherhood.
From the moment we first connected she supported me with so much more than “just” her offerings. Accommodating all I was ready to receive and always opening her heart to what I was ready to let go off. Thank you so much for your presence!”
