SUPPORT FOR PREGNANCY, BIRTH, POSTPARTUM & PELVIC WELLBEING
Your body tells a story.
It holds the changes, the challenges,
and the triumphs.
You may land on this page, not entirely sure of what you want or need. That's totally fine.
It's likely is that in your journey to and through pregnancy and parenthood, you have realised you need something different.
Something isn't ringing true for you. When you're pregnant often things are more sensitive, and that's for good reasons.
Perhaps that difference is an approach that see the whole of you. Not the body as parts to fix, or look a certain way after birth. Something that feels more you.
I am not here to tell people what to do with their bodies and lives.
My approach is gentle, but II also don't take any shit and will support you with integrity.
I trust that you have the answers (even if you don't necessarily have the questions yet).
I’m here to help you read and listen to that story, and connect with your body in a way that feels empowering, not overwhelming.
I specialise in motherhood and pelvic wellbeing, combining embodied movement, hypnobirthing, massage, and coaching to support you through one of life’s biggest transitions (and the ripples of change that follow).
Whether you’re preparing for birth, healing after, or are craving a deeper connection to yourself, I’ll meet you where you are.
Our bodies are our homes and our memories.
That's where the medical models can sometimes leave us feeling like there's a lack, the space for invididual experience that takes into account the whole self. The space for care, story and regulation. The space to integrate, feel and learn.
I specialise in helping people find the right tools for their journey.
The things that are practical, evidence-based, suited to them and above all, kind.

"I recommend these classes for the all essential 'me' time during pregnancy as they've really helped me to breathe, stretch and properly listen to my body."
- Susie
"Emilie is down to earth and friendly; every session she listens to what is going on with each of us and tailors the class to what we need to help relax, strengthen and connect with our babies."
- Susie
“The best thing was the reassurance, empowerment and relief gained from all the information on the course. I only wish it lasted longer - what a wonderful day.”

"I recently saw Emilie Rowell in Frome as I had a very bad back. She specialises in pregnancy massage and I'd highly recommend."

proud to partner with This Girl Can.
We are on a mission to inspire women and girls of all shapes, sizes, skills, and backgrounds to get active on their own terms.
All of you is welcome here.
While some of what we do might look a little like yoga, it’s not about being a certain shape, making perfect poses or performing.
This is an invitation to arrive in your body, as it is, today.
Make space to breathe, reconnect, and bring awareness, inside and out.If something’s calling for care... even if you’re not sure what, let’s start there.
