Pregnancy Circles
Are you pregnant and want to find your ‘mum tribe’ before your baby arrives?
Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of information out there about childbirth and the postnatal perio
Pregnancy Circles are not traditional antenatal classes. We offer the first holistic antenatal class in Cardiff to help you feel more confident and have a positive birth and postnatal experience.
Created and led by a certified antenatal doula and hypnobirthing teacher. Both have extensive knowledge and experience of facilitating groups during pregnancy and postpartum.
We focus on connecting with you, your baby and the group of pregnant women while providing a safe and nurturing space for reflection, learning and sharing.
Each session focuses on a theme that provides access to reliable and unbiased information and explores your options in pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Sessions:
1st Introduction
2nd Working with your intuition
3rd Physiological birth
4th Empowered birth
5th The 4th trimester
6th Mother blessing
Each session includes guided meditation and relaxation at the end to help you feel relaxed and at ease.
This is a 6 session course on Thursdays from 19:30h to 21:00h, located in Yurt in the City, close to Central Station and with ample parking for clients. The total cost is £120.
Apart from the face to face sessions we have a WhatsApp group so that the friendship and support created continues. It is a great support for your birthing experience and especially your postpartum.
And once your baby is born you have your place reserved to attend the Postnatal Circles at the Yurt. 1.5 hour sessions on Monday mornings.
If you are looking for a different and more holistic experience, come and join us! We look forward to meeting you🥰.
Postnatal circles
The aim of this group is to provide a safe and supportive environment for new mothers in the postnatal period to connect and share the characteristics of this time with other women.
Emotional recovery is essential for overall wellbeing and for feeling strong and empowered in the new role as a mother. The incredible space of an authentic yurt in a room provides a sense of calm and intimacy. With the benefits of participating in women’s circles, the postnatal circles become a truly space of understanding and support without judgement.
Pineda, a birth and postnatal doula and circle facilitator, creates these spaces with the help of the special yurt, the power of the group and all her extensive knowledge of the postnatal period, where it is possible to reflect and share about motherhood, mental health, the emotional roller coaster, relationships, body changes, social pressures and so on. She also signposts to evidence-based information and resources when needed.
Pineda understands that every mother is an expert on her baby and that there is no one way to be a ‘mother’. Her goal is for mothers to leave the yurt feeling more confident, happy and empowered.
During sessions we include breath work, rebozo massage, circle time, hot tea and chocolate biscuits and guided motivation
Mondays mornings from 10:30 am to 12pm
We offer drop in sessions for £18* and discounted 4 Mondays a month for £52. Book your place here!

Spanish Speaker social group for new mums and mums to be (FREE)
Do you speak Spanish and are about to have your baby? Or are you a new mum with your new baby and would like to make mums friends? Come and meet other Spanish Speakers mums and mums to be in our weekly coffee together.
Sometimes having a baby can be a lonely experience if we don’t have family and friends around. This is more likely for mothers who live abroad. That is the reason for this group, providing a warm and friendly group with mums and mums-to-be that speak Spanish. Because social support is important for the wellbeing of the new mother and therefore for her family.
