Hello I’m Kinga, mum of a curious cheeky little toddler and a qualified doula, pre/postnatal yoga teacher, hypnobirthing instructor and corporate well-being coach. I’m also a baby yoga and baby massage facilitator.
I have 600+hrs of training under my belt but I remain a forever student myself.
My passion lies in providing practical and emotional support at every stage through motherhood/parenthood. I am committed to helping women feel confident, calm, and strong. Through a range of services, including pregnancy and postnatal yoga, hypnobirthing, doula services, and coaching, I aim to offer comprehensive support and guidance.
My goal is to provide balanced information, ensuring you are well-equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed decisions and have a positive experience during childbirth and beyond.
If you are looking for support during your pregnancy or postnatal journey in Macclesfield and East Cheshire, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

Hi I’m Helen, an experienced qualified counsellor.
It is normal to find parts of motherhood challenging and to want extra support during this intense chapter of your life. I work with clients through pregnancy and postpartum, I offer baby loss counselling, and I work with mums of babies and young children.
You can talk about anything – my passion is supporting you as a person. Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed and self-critical. You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, burnout, ‘mum rage’ or feeling lost. Motherhood can bring up our own childhoods. Maybe life is complicated and you are navigating health issues, bereavement, moving house, work or relationship stress. You may have had counselling before or thought about it, or this might be totally new to you.
I offer online sessions via Zoom or in-person sessions in my comfy therapy room in Macclesfield, East Cheshire. We can meet weekly/fortnightly or for ad-hoc or monthly check-ins. Babies are welcome.
If you are interested in working with me, email me to arrange a free initial chat. You can see how it is to talk with me, and ask any questions.
The Doula Element provides families in Cheshire with maternity support and education during pregnancy, birth and the early days and weeks with a baby.
Services include antenatal classes and breastfeeding support.

The SMILE Group was co-founded by Natalie Nuttall and Ruth Eglin in 2011 after they both experienced PND and felt passionate about the need for parents to benefit from sustained peer support at a local level.
When we set The SMILE Group up we wanted it to be a place where families can relax and not feel judged or intimidated in any way. The group is a drop-in format and there is no pressure to attend regularly.
We invite parents to chat, drink tea and there is always a welcoming smile and an open door. We also enable mums and dads to indulge in valuable ‘me’ time with sample complementary therapy treatments to bring a sense of wellbeing.
See the Smile Group’s website for information on the weekly meet ups.
