When was the last time you felt truly held?
This is a day for pregnant mothers — whether it's your first, second, or fifth baby — to pause, to be supported and to reconnect with your inner wisdom.
Co-hosted by Laura Stocks (@birthmotherme) experienced doula and Charlie Anderson Sumner (@charlieandersonyoga) yoga teacher and mentor, this day blends doula wisdom, yoga, breathwork, intention-setting, rest and open-hearted conversation.

Our day will include…
Gentle arrival with tea and a delicious treat to welcome you in.
An opening circle – a chance to land, connect and set the tone for our day together.
Yoga wisdom and intention setting (sankalpa) to support through pregnancy, birth, motherhood and beyond.
A holistic dive into the physiology of labour, exploring the power of the mind & body connection. Through a supportive blend of learning and embodied practice using yoga and breathwork (pranayama) to manage your nervous system so that it can guide and sustain you.
Pause for a delicious lunch – all dietary needs happily catered for.
An intimate, soulful q&a with experienced doula Laura, exploring everything pregnancy and birth. Then sink into restorative yoga and a guided yoga nidra, allowing your body to fully let go.
We’ll gather once more in circle, closing the day with a sense of wholeness, calm, and being deeply held.
We want you to know that we understand that a pregnant body is on a journey and that your needs may change between the time you book and the time you attend the retreat. This is absolutely fine and normal and we will work together and with you to make sure you are as comfortable as you need to be.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you on the 30th November. This retreat is a gentle invitation to pause, restore, and be supported in a nurturing space. Reserve your place today and allow yourself the time to be deeply nourished and held.
Warmest,
Laura and Charlie
Past events...
The spaces I chose to host my events are all unique and varied. Yet they have a common thread - they are all beautiful in their own right and, as spaces, foster a sense of wonder and wellbeing, be it a woodland glade, an Edwardian manor, a central London oasis, or a magical glasshouse.
I work and collaborate with other highly skilled wellbeing practitioners to bring scope and depth to these Gatherings.
Below are some images of past Workshops and Gatherings. Upcoming events are annouced on IG and through my mailing list.
Get in touch if you are interested in hiring me to conceptualise and deliver a unique event for you, your studio, brand or business.
