Meet the Founder
Hello and welcome to Mama Wellbeing Co.
I’m Gilly, founder, mama of little Rory and self confessed birth geek. It’s an honour to walk alongside families on their journey during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I can support families in various forms, through yoga, hypnobirthing, antenatal education, doula support postnatal care and so on.
I offer weekly pregnancy yoga and mum & baby yoga classes as well as 3 monthly group hypnobirthing courses. I also offer private 1-2-1 support and care packages.
To share a little about my background with you, I have over 10 years of experience supporting women and families from pregnancy through to nurturing the early years and development of babies and children. My background in specialist nursing and health visiting allows me to tap into a wide range of previous experience working with families.
I have also undertaken a variety of holistic courses including hypnobirthing, active birth and biomechanics for birth training which is integrated into the antenatal courses I offer.
I am most active on my social channels, you can find me on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok on @mamawellbeingco to keep up-to-date with my goings on. Or of course drop me an email to chat more. It would be lovely to welcome you to a class or course soon.
With kindness,
Gilly

Philosophy and Message
Recently during a session with Dr Rachel Reed on her Reclaiming Childbirth Collective that I am part of, we were asked to think about the question "What do I want for women during their childbirth rite of passage?". Her answer resonated with me and is exactly what I would like to achieve at Mama Wellbeing Co.
So to answer the question:
"What do I want for women during their childbirth rite of passage?"
I want women to feel strong, capable, confident and connected to their body and baby and surrounded by love and support.
You are the expert on your body and baby. You are strong and capable and already have the wisdom and instinct required to birth and mother your baby.
My role is to share information that nurtures your self-trust, and supports your decision making.
Corporate Wellbeing
I am also delighted to offer bespoke corporate and business wellbeing services which can be tailored to a companies vision or needs. These bespoke courses could include yoga, meditation, breath work, or mindfulness activities to enhance staff and company wellbeing and promote a wellness-centred ethos. Please contact me to discuss your needs.
