Motherhood Circles
In-person & online
Motherhood is such a huge journey. Who are as women, changes forever in so many ways…
Throughout the year, I host and co-host online and in-person courses, retreats & half-day circles for mothers to come together, learn, move, breathe, reset, share their experiences and rest.
I absolutely love this work and am proud to co-facililtate these circles with other amazing women and mothers.
The three main spaces I run are:
Wild Mama - co-facilitated with Jess Symondson who teaches yoga, breathwork and hypnobirthing. We hold in-person circles throughout the year. We also run weekend retreats.
MotherCircle - an 8 part course developed by Kimberley Ann Johnson. These circles are held online and in-person and I am a certified facilitator.
Beyond Birth - a 6wk online course co-facilitated with Kim Pedrick who is a Chartered Physio, yoga and Pilates teacher and therapeutic coach.
You can listen here to my conversation with the wonderful Sophia Herod in her podcast: No Change Given. We talked about motherhood, community, toxic relationships, sex after babies, MotherCircle and so much more besides!

Wild Mama with Jess
from Firelight
Meet Jess
Jess is a yoga teacher, breathwork instructor and co-founder of Firelight. She has an absolutely infectious energy for creating spaces where people feel free to put down their masks and truly show up as themselves.
Her intention for every space she holds is simple: to create a moment away from the noise where people can breathe deeply, move freely and remember how good it feels to just be here.
Jess and I created WILD MAMA in the summer of 2025 when she was pregnant with her first child and craving community with like-minded mamas. We held a half-day retreat for pregnant mamas and haven’t looked back.
Since that first circle together in her beautiful tipi at Lopemede Farm, near Thame, Wild Mama has blossomed. We hold morning circles throughout the year where mamas can bring their babies and in January 2027, we will be hosting our first Wild Mama retreat in Somerset. A weekend away with other mamas to be deeply nourished in the depth of winter.
We’re evolving our offers for 2027 so get in touch and let us know what you need.
MotherCircle
an 8 week in-person course from the work of Kimberley Ann Johnson
What is MotherCircle?
Developed by Kimberley Ann Johnson and Jessica Connelly, MotherCircle is a transformative 8-week course about matrescence and the unseen arc of the mothering journey. I was fortunate enough to be on the first round of facilitator training in 2023 and gained so much from this space.
For me, this course brings an extra layer when it’s held in person so we meet together in circle once a week for around an hour and a half to be guided through the theme of that class and explore how it relates to our own experiences of motherhood. The flow of the classes is outlined below.
“We created MotherCircle to mend the threads of disconnection and build the world we want our children to belong to.” ~KAJ and JC
Women circling is the oldest code. Ancient wisdom and modern research tell us that when women gather, their mental health drastically improves. And when mothers thrive, communities thrive. MotherCircle is a gathering, a space for you to lean into community and talk about what it means to be a mother.
Who is MotherCircle for?
mothers of all ages and stages
women who are calling in motherhood
women whose work supports mothers
“If you are drawn to MotherCircle, trust yourself. I wish all women knew and had this kind of awareness; and gentle/strong holding of space. I definitely feel that much more of this is needed.”
-Deborah H
How much is MotherCircle?
MotherCircle costs £320 for the course of 8 classes. Payment plans are always available so please know you can reach out if you need support with this.
Whilst life sometimes has a way of messing with our plans, the sessions do build on each other so please try to ensure you are available for all 8 classes.
If you would like to host a MotherCircle from your home, and you can gather a minimum of five extra women, then your place in the circle is free of charge. I can hold MotherCircles in the daytime or evening to suit your schedule and childcare needs so get in touch to talk through what you’re looking for and how I can help.
Please also get in touch if you would like me to run a circle for mothers and women in your local area. Let’s work together to build mother culture and bring this experience into the lives, homes and hearts of as many women as possible.
