Specialist women’s yoga, pregnancy yoga, postnatal yoga, baby massage & baby yoga
in Richmond, Kew and South West London
Hello, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
I’m Amelie Cresswell and I offer specialist yoga for pregnancy, mums, babies and women; birth preparation and doula support in Richmond, Kew, South West London, Surrey borders, and online too.
With more than 10 years’ experience in this field since becoming a mother myself, I know how pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and what happens beyond, are powerful (and sometimes overwhelming) times of change in your life, each with their unique needs and demands, opportunities and challenges.
Times that will stay with you however they unfold.
Times when you deserve to be well guided and wonderfully cared for. So you can find ease in body and mind, feel truly informed, equipped and empowered. And ultimately trust your amazing body and self.
This is what I do and so passionate about.
Amelie is an incredible teacher, I loved her classes and felt very comfortable with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amelie and truly believe she offers the best pregnancy and postnatal yoga classes in Richmond. - Sophia
