A year ago, I supported this family through pregnancy, the birth and those incredible, intense first few days.

We met up again this week. And it was very special to see this little one, who is now 15 months old, exploring the world with confidence. And, of course, his mum, who was also born 15 months ago🥰

Being part of one of the most intense and transformative moments of their lives is always a privilege. And knowing that they felt supported and cared for throughout the whole process made me very happy😊

We shared many moments preparing for the birth and the postnatal period. There was trust, which is basic for feeling safe. We worked as a team, so we got to know her preferences, explored different scenarios and learnt about the physiology of birth. We reflected on the postnatal period as well. All of this, together, helped to feel more in control, looked after and safe.

Thank you for trusting me as your doula🧡

If you’re expecting a baby and looking for ongoing support, I’d love to hear from you!

There are so many different experiences: from changes in family relationships to how failing to meet others’ expectations can make them feel this way.

Or having a baby far from their home country and the inevitable feelings of isolation that this brings.

It was a very enriching and healing conversation. If I had to highlight one moment, I’d choose the one where a mother realised just how ambivalent motherhood is, and that being able to share that makes her feel less isolated🧡

This is the whole point of mothers sharing in a safe space. Because postpartum is an intense time and ambivalence is a key part of the process of becoming a mother.
And we need spaces where we feel safe enough to say it out loud

🌿If this resonates with you, come and join the next course in July. Every Monday morning at WOMB | Cardiff

I’m really excited to be part of this welcoming and supportive space for mums and mums-to-be. And it’s free!

✨ I feel so lucky to be part of this beautiful space ✨

WOMB in Cathays, Cardiff is not an usual yoga studio… yes, it offers lots of wonderful classes, but it’s also so much more than that.

It’s a space guided by a matriarchal perspective, centring mothers and birthing people, recognising them as the first source of love, safety and belonging.

There is so much work behind the scenes to make everything more inclusive, supportive, and community-led… and I’m so happy to be part of it🥰

I’m offering FREE drop-in sessions where mums and mums-to-be can come and chat with me.

As a doula, I:

• hold space,
• listen without judgement,
• gently guide with questions,
• share resources and information.

🗓 Next Drop-In with a Doula
Friday 22 May
11am – 2pm

I look forward to meeting you.

🧡 Follow the link in bio to book your FREE spot.

✨ And stay tuned… a new FREE group is coming in June ✨

With love,

Pineda

This week is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, and the figures remain the same:

One in five mothers suffers from a perinatal mood disorder, the most common being postnatal depression and postnatal anxiety.

These figures are far too high. And I am convinced that this is due to the combination of factors involved in being a mother in modern societies:

💔Very little support in all areas.

💔A lack of connection.

💔Too much pressure to recover quickly.

💔Unrealistic and idealised view of the postpartum period and motherhood.

💔And a reluctance to show vulnerability and ask for help.

In societies where there is a sense of community, support is everywhere and motherhood is expected to be real, these figures are extremely low🧡

💪That is why, at .sanctuary , we work to offer a real and compassionate approach to motherhood for new mums and mums-to-be. An approach full of genuine support and real connection, far away from the pressure of image and perfection🔥

Postnatal Circles: support group for mums and babies.
Mothers’ Circles: support group for mums at any stage of motherhood.

Join us and feel different🥰

The more honest and real conversations we have about the postpartum period, the more we normalise the wide range of emotions involved, and the further we move away from the unrealistic expectations society places on mums.

Motherhood has never been so demanding, with so little support🤔

That’s why support groups for mothers are more necessary than ever💪

Knowing that you’re not alone, that another mum is going through something similar. Different experiences, yet easy to relate to.
That what you’re feeling is completely normal.

And understanding the system we live in: one that puts pressure on us, but doesn’t support us.

Realising all this makes us feel better💗

If you have a baby, I invite you to join us on Mondays for the Postpartum Circles. We meet every week.

If you’re at a different stage of motherhood, take a look at our monthly meet-up: Mothers’ Circle.

A few days ago, a woman who doesn’t live in the UK contacted me to give her friend and new mum a Closing the Bones ceremony. That’s direct support for her!

And then I realized that over the past few months, friends and family have been reaching out to me to offer my support as a doula to a new mum. So much more than in previous years! Not just for a Closing the Bones session, but also for postnatal support at home and even for birth support😍

And of course, the support that a group of mothers provides to other mums in the postpartum period to attend the Postnatal Circles💫

It’s as if people are slowly beginning to understand better just how important it is to care for the mother during this important time. So mothers feel stronger, capable and cared for on their journey into motherhood💪🧡
Is something really changing?

PS the photo is from Christmas but I still send out gift vouchers during the rest of the year!
