Over the past sixteen years, it has been my life’s work to care for, nurture and support mothers, parents, babies and families around the world. In 2005 I created the Bella Mama Pregnancy Spa & Wellness Centre where, along with my team of committed and compassionate therapists, we cared for over 10,000 pregnant mothers and families throughout the special journey that was their pregnancies, births and transition into parenthood.
After running Bella Mama for 14 years, I made the conscious choice to devote myself wholeheartedly to the one on one focussed care of new mamas and families. I am passionate about making a difference. I truly believe that pregnancy, birth and the first few months of motherhood are a time when all women and birthing people deserve to be nurtured, supported and celebrated. Taking heed of traditional postpartum care practices from around the world, I encourage and inspire the mothers and parents that I work with to slow down and value deep rest, rejuvenation and dedicated support during this time. Thus Slow Postpartum Movement™ was birthed into being.
Currently based in the beautiful county of Devon in the UK, I offer both in person and virtual support to families around the world.
I am so grateful that you are here and I look forward to sharing my wisdom with you.
With love Jojo x
Jojo is pure magic. My son is now 2.5 years old and I still quote (or hear in my head, with a warm smile) her wisdoms, stories and advice - such loving words from our time together. She cared for us so tenderly and attentively in the first few weeks after my son was born, with home visits and *the best!!* postpartum massage, brewing me teas, bringing food, binding my belly (loved!) and most of all - offering a shoulder and love of a mother figure (as NZ is not our home country we had little family support locally available). Even with a mother in the home, Jojo offers immeasurable support and knows exactly what you need. She has the experience, intuition and skills to make your postpartum journey the most lovely, supported and relaxed it can be. She is the best, and I recommend to her to all my friends in NZ. Skip the baby registry items (most of which never get used) and ask family/friends for Jojo's services instead, you will be SO glad you did. ❤. Maya B
