Hello, I’m Ceridwen!
I’m lucky to call beautiful North Wales home, where I live with my partner, our three children, and our lovely yellow Labrador Bertie and RSCPA rescued cat., WIlma. Supporting mental health and wellbeing is my passion, and I have years of experience helping adults, mums, and families navigate life’s challenges.
I know how much poor sleep and mental health can impact every aspect of your life—from your energy to your confidence and your ability to tackle daily life. Sleep is the foundation of wellbeing, yet so many struggle with it. And as mums, we often forget to care for ourselves, especially during the huge transitions that come with pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood and into menopause.
As a trained hypnobirthing practitioner, I’m passionate about helping parents feel calm, confident, and empowered through their birth experiences. I also understand that becoming a parent can challenge your sense of identity and wellbeing, so I work with mums to support not just their births, but their mental health and transition into motherhood.
Over the years, I’ve trained in sleep therapy, breathwork, birth trauma support, and techniques to help mums and families find balance and connection. I’m here to guide you with tools, knowledge, and a compassionate space to help you feel more like yourself again.

Occupational therapy is a holistic approach to health and wellness that considers the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. This approach recognizes that every individual has unique needs and experiences that impact their health and well-being. And I do this proudly for women no matter where they are in their mamma stage!

Occupational therapy is a holistic approach to health and wellness that considers the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. This approach recognizes that every individual has unique needs and experiences that impact their health and well-being. And I do this proudly for women no matter where they are in their mamma stage!
The holistic approach of occupational therapy involves assessing and addressing the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social factors that contribute to an individual’s health and wellbeing. By looking at the whole person and their individual situation, occupational therapists can help individuals achieve a higher quality of life and better overall outcomes.
Some ways that occupational therapy takes a holistic approach include:
1. Incorporating meaningful activities: Occupational therapy uses meaningful activities to address physical, social, emotional, and cognitive impairments. These activities can provide a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and satisfaction in daily life.
2. Addressing environmental factors: Occupational therapists assess an individual's environment and make recommendations for modifications that support health and well-being, such as alterations to furniture, equipment, and lighting.
3. Encouraging self-care: Occupational therapists teach individuals the skills and strategies needed to manage their self-care, such as developing healthy sleep habits, managing stress, nutrition planning, and coping mechanisms.
4. Focus on mental health: Occupational therapists can assist individuals living with mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related issues, and addiction by providing a safe environment and supporting mental and emotional wellness.
Overall, occupational therapy's holistic approach takes an individualized approach that fosters self-awareness and empowers individuals to gain independence, achieve their goals, and improve their sense of well-being..
