In her own words: a story of love, loss and hope.
Tash is one of the bravest women I know and she’s courageously shared her story with you here. The ripples, the turmoil, the healing and fear - they continue to this moment and it’s my honour to hold this woman through it all. Quietly ready, steadfast and safe.
It’s a sacred story and I haven’t changed a word.

The first spark
It’s hard to put into words just how much Alex from Sollus has supported me over the last two years. I began seeing her before I became pregnant with my daughter Iris, and continued prenatal yoga throughout my pregnancy.
Grief and loss
When I tragically lost my daughter at full term last September, Alex became one of the pillars of strength I leaned on. I was carrying deep grief, trauma in my body, pelvic floor issues, and a complete disconnection from feeling safe within myself.
Empty and disconnected
Alex helped me reconnect with my body in the gentlest, safest ways. Through her yoga, massage, breathwork, and meditation she helped me release anxiety and fear, soften the trauma I was holding, and slowly feel comforted, supported, and grounded again. Her presence is incredibly intuitive, nurturing, and wise, there is something so innate and beautiful about her care that is truly unique.
Hope and holding
Alex also walked alongside me through my IVF journey, offering steadiness and support right through to the conception of my baby boy. I’m endlessly grateful for everything Alex’s given me, and I couldn’t speak more highly of the person she is or the wonderful services she offers.
Now, as I stand full-term in this next pregnancy, both her private sessions and her small-group classes for expectant mums have helped me feel stronger in my body and my mind. My body feels supported and capable, with no lingering pelvic floor issues and my mind feels calmer and more resilient.

As Tash and her partner await the arrival of her baby boy, we hold everything all at once in the in-between; memories, fear, excitement, anticipation and anxiety.
It’s big. It’s life.
Sometimes it’s quiet and sometimes it needs to be said. I am so proud to offer moments of peace and rest to this incredible mother and she wrestles with this big love.
