Words from Pineda

“I am passionate about supporting a woman through one of the most transformative times in her life, becoming a mother. To help her feel in control and to make her experience as positive as possible. My aim is for the new mother to feel safe and cared for. I consider myself a warm and positive person with great active listening skills and support to make you feel heard, seen and understood. I love creating nurturing spaces and am good at making people feel safe to bring their best intentions to a group, so that they can benefit from the amazing energy that comes when women come together in a circle”

Customers reviews

"I first met Pineda through the pregnancy circles she was facilitating in Cardiff. After I had my bub, I booked a closing the bones and Pineda was the perfect person for it. She is warm, respectful, intuitive and skilled. My rebozo massage felt nourishing, healing, and safe. Would highly recommend."

"When my friend attended the first ever pregnancy circle and told me about it I knew it was for me! Pineda puts a huge emphasis on the care and support of the mother which is so so important and it is something I remind myself of constantly!!

"I absolutely loved the Postnatal circles held by Pineda. I had previously attended the prenatal circles and they were such a supportive healing space that i had to sign up for the postnatal circles! Tanya and Pineda create a calm, relaxed space where mums and babies can truly be themselves.
