✨ Our LAST Mama Brunch of 2026! ✨

Let’s close the year with a little festive magic, a delicious brunch, and the beautiful new connections that this space always brings 🧡.

Join us for a nurturing morning for Bristol mums. Two precious hours to feel held, heard and seen.

To close this beautiful season of brunches, we’ll be joined by two incredible guest experts: Rebecca Hunt , birth and postpartum doula and breastfeeding support specialist, and Juliana Hounsfield, women’s health osteopath and founder of The Family Practice (Centre for Womens Health ).

We’ll talk about postpartum recovery – what it means in both the short and longer term – and how to look after ourselves as mamas, both physically and emotionally, in the first years after birth. Becs and Juliana will join me to hold space for your stories and answer your questions.

All mums with bumps, babies and toddlers are welcome ✨

📆 Friday, 27 November
📍 The Malago
⏰ 10:30–12:30
🎟️ £29 [link in bio]

We can’t wait to see you there! 🫶

With love,
Charlotte

A stretched maternity system can make you feel as though you have to accept whatever you’re offered.

You don’t.

You can work with your maternity team while still asking questions.

You can respect the pressures midwives are working under while advocating for the care you need.

You can choose to be flexible about your birth place without giving up your birth preferences.

And you can seek additional support when the NHS cannot provide all the continuity you would ideally want.

Having tools to regulate our nervous system doesn’t mean we never feel overwhelmed, that would be unrealistic, especially through the early years of parenting.

We’re going to have moments when everything feels like too much. It’s also part of being human.

These tools are here to help us find our ground again, to come back to a more present, calmer state for ourselves and for our homes whenever we need it.

This is one I’ve used a lot over the past few years, and one I share as part of the Mindful Mama Toolbox ✨.

When we’re overwhelmed, our brain’s threat-detection system can take over. The alarm gets louder, and the part of our brain responsible for thinking clearly and taking perspective can become harder to access.

So, rather than trying to think our way out of overwhelm, we can start with our senses.

Pause. Take a slow, conscious breath. Then notice:

🌿 5 things you can see
🌿 4 things you can feel
🌿 3 things you can hear
🌿 2 things you can smell
🌿 1 thing you can taste

It’s a simple way to regain control and turn off the alarm system.

Get in touch if you want to find out more about The Mindfulness for Mothers sessions 🧡

Love and peace,
Charlotte

Online therapy can sometimes feel like it’s just a face on a screen.

But there’s a whole space behind that screen, and I’ve come to realise how much that space matters.

The way I prepare for a session, the environment I create, the 15 minutes I leave between appointments, the pause I take afterwards… all of it is part of how I hold the work.

So I thought I’d let you have a little peek behind the scenes 🌿

Welcome to my online practice 💻

There’s something bittersweet about saying goodbye to summer, isn’t there? 🍂

The ease of being outdoors with our little ones. The warmth, the energy, the dips, the long evenings… those lovely days that seem to stretch on forever.

Even when we’re ready for the next season, letting go of the one we’ve loved can feel surprisingly tender.

So this autumn, let’s ease from one season into the next together 🤎

We’re going to gather in warm, cosy spaces. Eat brunch. Have a cuppa (or raise a glass!). Laugh, connect, share the highs and make space for the harder days too.

Because a little togetherness can go a long way as the days get shorter.

So, come and join us on North Street 🧡

✨ Two Mama Brunches at The Malago are coming up – including one next Friday, 25 September. The next one will be on 27 November.

✨ And we’ll be gathering at KASK: Say No To S**t W**e for our lovely Mama Social on Thursday 22 October.

All our events are welcoming, inclusive and completely free from judgement. Come exactly as you are.

Book your spot now – link in bio 🙌
Or send me a DM if you have any questions. I’d love to hear from you.

Our guest expert this month is Anna from Anna|Slings|Carriers|Bristol. Anna is a baby and toddler carrying expert based in Bristol. Once a year, she joins us at our brunches and brings an impressive range of slings and carriers for mamas to try. You can also get a free fit check of your own carrier! ✨

Our Mama Brunches are all about giving you the space to connect with other local mamas, make new friendships, find support, and enjoy delicious food cooked just for you 😍

Warmth, laughter, listening ears and the perfect coffee (iced, hot, decaf or double shot – however you like it, they make it 👌!)

Our brunches are for all mums – with bumps, babes and toddlers 🧡

Any questions? Just DM me.

As August comes to an end and my little tribe heads home today, I’ve been thinking about those 18 summers with our children ☀️

A reminder to slow down, be present and make the most of this special time under the sun.

But could it also add pressure for mothers to plan and deliver the perfect season? Adding to the load and the guilt of never doing enough, or not loving every single moment?

Because we also have 18 autumns, 18 winters and 18 springs…

And so much of the magic happens in the seasons in between ✨

Perhaps it’s not about making every season count, but being there for it all 💚

📷 Some pictures of our summer - the delicious part to add to the memory box 🌤️

Love and peace,

How do you usually feel after you’ve spent 20 minutes scrolling on here?

More seen?

Or more anxious?

More connected?

Or more like you’re somehow getting it wrong?

It’s a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately, and probably one of the reasons I’ve found it harder to be more present on here.

Not because I think social media is all bad. There are incredible professionals, wonderful communities and so much valuable information online.

But as both a maternal mental health therapist and a mum, I’ve become increasingly concerned about the environment we’re asking parents to make decisions in.

An environment where certainty and emotionally charged content are rewarded, nuance disappears, and the noise can become so loud that we lose touch with our own inner knowing and self belief.

I don’t think the answer is to switch off completely.

I do think we need to understand how these platforms work, how they shape what we see and, perhaps most importantly, why they make us feel the way they do… and why we keep going back.

I’ve shared more of my thoughts in my latest blog, The Hidden Cost of Social Media on Motherhood.

I’d genuinely love to hear whether this resonates with you 🧡
