About UsYork Mother Nurture recognises that pregnancy, childbirth and becoming a mother are some of the most profound and meaningful experiences of adulthood and we are passionate about supporting and nurturing women, educating and empowering them to have a positive experience.
We also acknowledge that pregnancy and motherhood can bring a push and pull of emotions; there can be worry, disappointment, guilt, competition, frustration, anger and fear mixed in with the joy. Giving birth to a new identity, the process of becoming a mother can be a rollercoaster of emotions that you might not have been expecting because society tends not to talk about it. Here at York Mother Nurture we’re all about supporting you. We focus on you, not your baby (gorgeous and wonderful as they may be). Because you’re important. |
Who We Are |
York Mother Nurture was set up in 2013 by Michaela Scott a Medical Herbalist, massage therapist and doula. As well as 'hands-on' services such as specialist pregnancy and postnatal massage, head, neck and shoulder massage and collaborations to offer maternity reflexology and baby and toddler relaxology we offer online emotional and practical support and signposting, workshops and self-care advice. Once Covid 19 restrictions are lifted we will also be re-offering our 'Honouring Motherhood' days and day retreats.
