Why; A Mother Space

  • Pregnancy yoga, birth preparation, birth doula, postnatal doula.

    Roisin Gaughran - Co-Founder


    I am a yoga teacher, birth and postpartum doula, and women’s health educator.

    During a long fertility journey, and throughout pregnancy, birth and early motherhood, I experienced firsthand the positive impact of yoga and meditation, and have been working with pregnant women and new mothers for many years. I’m usually found barefoot with my two kids, love being in water and have a big passion for herbs and nutrition.

    I am part of our local Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnerships (MNVPs), and act as an advocate to support women in our community. I’m passionate about creating a village for mothers to ensure we are all supported.

  • Pregnancy yoga, hypnobirthing, birth doula, postnatal doula.

    Claire Dugan - Co-Founder


    I am a Hypnobirthing Instructor, Birth Trauma Therapist, Doula and Breastfeeding Consultant.

    I started working with expectant parents following the birth of our two children, Flora and Rosie. Continuity of care is so important, and I often work with women throughout their preparation for birth, and into their early motherhood, supporting them with feeding and caring for their new baby. I am also a dog mum and a foodie who loves nothing better than a good dog walk, pub and a giggle!

    My aim is to help you feel more confident, listened to and supported in the right way. I continue to train, increase my knowledge and understanding to enable me to support you all in the best way possible.
