I want to invite you somewhere special.
For generations women of all walks of life have gathered by the hearth of an open fire.
Spaces where stories were told, wisdom shared and the sounds of connection filled the air.
Fears spoken out loud lost their edge and sparks of inspiration turned into encouraging excited conversations. Together they learned, grew and remembered what their bones already knew - to trust themselves.
A space both sacred and ordinary where presence and wisdom & light and dark exist side by side.
This is the feeling I want to create for you inside The Snug.
A cosy, supportive space for pregnant women to come together. No pressure just gentle guidance, real conversations and embodied practices to deepen what you’ve already begun.
The Snug
I'm Nicole and after supporting countless mothers in yoga classes, women's circles and as a doula all while being a Mum myself I keep seeing the same thing.
Women are holding so much and this doesn't slow down in pregnancy if anything it grows more.
Advice and information is flying towards you from every direction and worries and fears of the unknown surface.
The mental load of preparing for birth builds while carrying the expectations of others even though you are on your own journey.
You have very little space for yourself to even take in the changes that are happening never mind space to slow down.
But did you know birth and pregnancy is a rite of passage - a transformational life transition, its to be honoured.
You deserve to be seen and honoured and at the minimum by yourself.
I see the deeper birth and parenting preparations shoved under the rug and the celebration of you lost to the baby showers all about your baby - who is loved and to be celebrated of course, it's just you shouldn't get forgotten along the way.
Let's put down the pile of birth books for a moment and go within to go deeper and not in a scary way it will actually be quiet simply done once you decide you are ready to commit to yourself.
The Snug is the space to do just this.
What You’ll Experience in The Snug:
You’ll have me and a small, private community in your pocket in a modern and online version of being gathered together by the fire.
We will gather in a Telegram group that will offer you a gentle, grounded support you can lean into at your own pace. The 4 weeks opened on the 9th of June but you are welcome to join in now and catch up in your own time.
Inside you’ll find:
-
Regular audio voice notes from me offering encouragement, reflective prompts and practices
-
Breath practices, meditations and audio rituals like the ones in Pregnancy Presence (if you haven't already done this get in now it's free and builds perfectly towards this)
-
A dedicated Q&A thread for all your questions. Ask anything pregnancy, birth, postpartum related and anything that comes up as we go
-
Topics and prompts to help you soften into trust, release fear and move through pregnancy in an embodied way
-
A community of other pregnant people craving real grounded connection
There’s no live calls, no rigid schedule, no pressure to keep up.
It’s the kind of space you can slip into with a cup of tea in hand in your own timing.
