About Me
Hi, I’m Ellie!
Breathe & Bloom was created from a season of big feelings, identity shifts and the overwhelming beauty of early motherhood. When my daughter arrived, life changed in ways I expected and in ways I never could have prepared for. I suddenly found myself loving someone more deeply than I ever knew possible, while also feeling lost, overstimulated, guilty, disconnected from my old self and unsure of who I was becoming.
I searched for spaces that spoke to the emotional side of motherhood: the mental load, the guilt, the loneliness, the identity shifts, the constant “am I doing enough?”, and I realised how little support truly existed for the mother behind the baby.
So Breathe & Bloom began as a simple idea:
What if mothers had a gentle, non-judgemental space where their feelings mattered too?
A place to breathe, reconnect with themselves and feel understood?
With a background in counselling, ongoing studies in psychology and lived experience as a mum to a curious, spirited 1-year-old, I felt a desire to create something that blended professional knowledge with compassion, softness and real-life motherhood.
