Welcome, you are in good hands.
Hello, I’m Mar.

For New Mamas
Let’s restore strength and find comfort.
Post birth everything takes time but my postnatal course supports you in your journey as a mum. Together we will look to restore the hormonal balance to ease the nervous system, build strength in the spine and support you and your body for holding and feeding your baby.
The Benefits?
It’s important to find comfort in your own body after the birth. This course creates a space for you to rest and relax, helping to bring your body and mind back into a state of balance.
We practice complete exercises for the whole body, helping to realign the spine, relieve stiffness and build strength slowly through gentle movements. The practice will help you to improve blood flow to stimulate growth and repair the cells in our body.
Let’s get ready together
Pregnancy may have you feeling overwhelmed, fearful and powerless. And it’s ok to feel that way. A lot is changing. But how would it feel to be empowered by the experience, be held in a safe nurturing space, focus on YOU and your baby and your connection to your body?
Expect to learn to be confident in YOUR own body and its nature, the breath and your baby.
Let me support you in shifting your mindset from fear to understanding.
Be empowered to trust your body during labour and as a mum.
Giving birth is a process.
Yes it’s intense. But it’s also empowering and incredibly powerful. Like any process, you can move through it. If you stay connected and trust yourself it can be a lovely experience.
How we can work together…
01
Pregnancy Yoga
Practising yoga during pregnancy helps to gently stretch and tone your body as the baby grows, supports birth preparation and promotes a sense of balance and wellbeing leaving you feeling energised, refreshed and calm.
All Pregnancy classes and flows are designed by me, to support you through your second and third trimester right up to labour.
02
Post Partum Yoga
My postnatal yoga course will support you in reclaiming and rediscovering your body after having the baby, helping to gently strengthen, tone and release tension.
This course will run through some lovely movements and flows but also included are some common postpartum conditions. We also focus on that really important part of restorative yoga especially for you after giving birth.
Love from Mums
Claire, and baby boy
“Marie's Saturday pregnancy morning yoga class was a gorgeous way to take some time out from busy life and really connect with my baby. Marie's voice is so calming and the class is delivered in such a gentle and safe way. Thank you Marie for all the guidance during this very special time.”
Aisling, and baby Kayleigh
“Our baby girl arrived, a natural delivery, lots and lots of breathing techniques used and swaying from your class, thanks so much for teaching me all the techniques, breathing really does make a big difference. You’re a great instructor and all the best to all the mummies in the future”.
Maeve, and baby Adam
“I just want to say a huge thank you really Marie. I gave birth to my lovely little boy after following all that you taught us in class. I signed up at my 14 weeks & if I missed a class you always sent the recording to do in my own time. Everything we did prepared me for first time labour. There was a moment of fear and I remember you speaking about it in class, a crossroads and I remembered your words “ you were made to do this, your body knows how to birth your baby, you can do this”. This helped me push on through. I am so happy that I got the opportunity to do your classes.”
Teen Parenting Support Programme
The Teen Parents Support Programme -TPSP - is a support service for young mothers from pregnancy until the baby is 2 years of age. My Pregnancy and Postnatal classes have linked with this service to be able to provide space for anyone attending the TPSP. Mums to be in this programme will be able to access my classes for prenatal care and postnatal care for free. Please get in touch to receive all information you need on how to join us.
