You snap, then feel guilty. You need a break, but struggle to ask. Your mind keeps running through everything that needs doing—even when you finally sit down.

The Sanctuary helps you understand these moments and practise ways to feel steadier in yourself.

Each month explores a common parenting challenge, including broken nights, the mental load, unequal responsibilities, relationship strain, changes in intimacy, family boundaries and feeling alone.

We help you work with what these pressures bring up in you:

• Notice overwhelm earlier: educational videos help you recognise your patterns and understand what happens in your body, feelings and relationships.

• Find a pause before reacting: gentle somatic yoga practices offer ways to work with tension and reconnect with your body.

• Understand what you need: parts work meditations explore the part of you that snaps, pushes through or feels guilty about resting.

• Work with difficult feelings: guided EFT tapping offers a way to explore emotions connected to the monthly theme.

From feeling overwhelmed by your reactions to knowing how to support yourself.

With regular practice, you can build a toolkit to recognise your limits, find a pause and express your needs more clearly. The change we’re working towards is less self-blame, more steadiness, and more moments of feeling present and connected with yourself and your family.

One theme. Four weekly videos. Support you can return to.

Your Sanctuary library is updated weekly with an educational video introducing the monthly theme, a somatic yoga practice, a parts work meditation and an EFT tapping practice across the month. New videos are announced in the linked private community.

You’ll also receive one short monthly practice to repeat daily, weekly nourishment tips to support you and your baby, and specific reflection questions.

Connect with other mums, ask questions about the practices or quietly read along—with replies from Fiona twice a week.

No catching up. No pressure to do everything. Start with what you need today.

Personalised 1:1 therapy is available separately. Private therapeutic messaging is not included.

Perhaps you’re feeling anxious or low, snapping more than you want to, or struggling to recognise yourself. Your relationship may feel strained, a difficult birth may still weigh on you, or becoming a mum may have brought painful childhood experiences to the surface.

Sometimes you understand why you feel this way, yet still feel caught in the same reactions. Your chest tightens, your stomach knots, or you feel overwhelmed before you can find the words.

Support that includes your body, thoughts and feelings

Fiona is a qualified integrative psychotherapist and somatic practitioner. Her approach brings together EFT tapping, parts work and body awareness to explore your experiences and how you feel them in your body.

EFT is at the heart of Fiona’s practice. Alongside tapping, you may notice where a feeling shows up physically and explore the parts of you that feel frightened, angry, overwhelmed or under pressure to keep going.

There is space to talk and make sense of your story, as well as work directly with the emotions, tension and reactions you’re experiencing.

You don’t need any prior knowledge of these approaches. Fiona will explain and guide the work, with your consent, responding to what you’re exploring together and what feels helpful in that moment.

What can change?

Therapy can help you understand what sets off strong reactions and work with the emotions and body sensations that come with them.

Over time, you may notice that situations which once overwhelmed you feel more manageable. You might feel less on edge, find it easier to tell your partner what you need, or recover after a difficult moment without spending the rest of the day blaming yourself.

We work at your pace, with space to pause whenever you need.

Space to take the time you need

There’s no fixed number of sessions or set timeline for working through what’s coming up for you. You can have as few or as many sessions as you need, agreeing the pace together and reviewing what feels helpful along the way.

Your baby is welcome, with space to feed, settle and pause.
