The motherbody Movement
Mothercare for The mamas.
For the Mothers carrying the load, running on empty, and longing for the village.
This is expert-led postpartum care, core recovery, and nervous system support.
Here, you’ll rebuild strength without urgency and restore capacity, with connection.
Because postpartum doesn’t end, it integrates.
(Autumn enrolments open early March)
Welcome to The Motherbody Movement.
A place where mothers are seen, held, and supported.
This is a holding space, a community for the long middle years of Motherhood, beyond the first six weeks and before ‘back to normal.’
Here, you’ll nurture your nervous system, rebuild core strength, and connect with women who understand the real load of mothering.
This isn’t about pushing harder, fixing yourself, or bouncing back.
It’s about care, capacity, and learning how to hold yourself, your children, and each other through the postpartum years.
If Motherhood feels hard. If you’re managing, but only just. You’re not failing.
You’ve just been holding too much, for too long, without the support you actually need.
And perhaps it’s time to be held.
Begin with a 7-day free trial. Let support meet you where you are.
We believe:
Mothercare is essential.
Sustainable strength is built through care and kindness, not exhaustion.
Mothers deserve to be honoured with skilled support and a warm community.
Choosing care takes courage in a culture that asks mothers to endure without tending.
This is a movement away from motherhood overwhelm and toward connection, support, and deep repair.
This is for mothers who need connection, care, and recovery.
This is for you if:
You’re a mother past the early postpartum weeks, feeling tired and depleted, and not sure how to care for your body, heart, or nervous system anymore.
You’re rebuilding after pregnancy or birth (even years later) and need gentle, postpartum-specific core recovery Pilates for hip, back or pelvic pain, ab separation, prolapse, or deep exhaustion. Not a standard fitness class.
You’ve been holding it all together for too long. Functioning, coping, just getting through the days, even when it’s felt overwhelming inside. Calm on the outside, chaos on the inside.
Your baby has outgrown mums & bubs classes and finding childcare makes getting to regular classes difficult. But your body still needs regular movement and you crave connection with other mums.
You want help integrating rehab or physio-informed exercises into real life at home, without needing to remember everything on your own.
You want non-judgmental support that meets you exactly where you are. Without pressure, comparison, or pushing through exhaustion.
You want to rebuild strength and capacity alongside other mothers who understand the invisible load of mothering in a world that doesn’t prioritise your needs.
This is not for you if you’re:
Chasing quick fixes, high-intensity workouts, or ‘bounce-back’ results.
Focused on aesthetics, weight loss, or pushing your body harder than it’s ready for.
Not ready to prioritise care, connection, and sustainable strength over immediate results.
Start with a 7-day free trial, then continue with a monthly membership designed to support long-term postpartum recovery.

Compassionate strength-building – no pressure, no bounce-back culture. Rebuild at your pace with support whilst recognising the wider systemic pressures that all mothers face
How do We care for you?
Our six pillars of Motherbody Care:
Self care
Practical, gentle support for your body and nervous system, for when self care feels impossible.Community care
A shared space with other mothers who understand the real load of Mothering. Feel supported just as you are.Extended care
Support that continues beyond early postpartum, because recovery and integration take time, often years, particularly when your system has been living under sustained load.Layers of care
Core recovery, nervous system support, education, somatic practices, and community all working together, so you don’t have to hold motherhood alone anymore.Accessible care
Flexible, on-demand support you can connect with from home, around your children, your energy, and real life, even when you’re functioning on empty.Ritual care
Daily, weekly, and monthly self-care and oxytocin-boosting practices that create a steady container of support, especially when your needs feel invisible but your labour is essential.
Step in for 7 days and feel what it’s like to move, restore, and be supported.
After your free trial, continue with a monthly membership supporting long-term postpartum recovery.
Where recovery is held, not rushed
Hi, I’m Sophie.
I support mums to recover from birth trauma, postpartum injury, depletion, and overwhelm.
When you feel sore, lost, foggy, or fatigued, I help you befriend your body with kindness and reverence.
I’m a postnatal doula, pilates teacher, Shiatsu therapist, and prenatal/perinatal somatic practitioner, and of course, a Mama myself. My journey in and out of connection with my own body has shaped how I support others, both in-home and online through The Motherbody Movement.
This community is a sanctuary of care, movement, and connection. A place where mums can soften expectations, restore core function, and be held in recovery, not rushed through it.
Inside The Motherbody Movement, I guide women away from the pressure to “fix” themselves and toward a deeper understanding of how their nervous systems, histories, and environments shape healing. This is a trauma-informed, whole-person space that welcomes all bodies and brains exactly as they are.
If you’re wondering whether you’ll ever feel like yourself again, or longing for more care in motherhood, you’re warmly welcome here.
We meet you where you are, with real conversations, nourishing movement, and wholehearted support.
