Meet the Founder

I’m Sophie, founder of TENTH MOON - a holistic wellness platform reimagining support for the motherhood era. I’m a birth preparation specialist, 350-hour yoga teacher, holistic nutritionist, and mum of three. Across a high-risk pregnancy, an emergency C-section, two home births, and six and a half years of breastfeeding, I’ve lived just about every version of the motherhood experience and witnessed, first-hand, how profoundly the system fails to support women.

Pregnancy is treated as a medical event, birth as a process to manage, and the mother as just a vessel. The focus is always on the baby, during pregnancy and long after, while physical recovery, emotional repair, and identity shifts are quietly overlooked. The so-called “village” we’re told to rely on no longer exists; what remains is a culture of self-sufficiency that leaves women questioning whether they’re doing any of it right.

TENTH MOON was created to rebuild that missing framework - to bring depth, evidence, and integrity back to motherhood. It’s a platform that bridges modern science with lived experience: movement that strengthens, nutrition that restores, breathwork that regulates, and nervous system practices that help women navigate the psychological and physiological shifts of motherhood.

We’re not here to romanticise the journey. We’re here to make it real and to make sure women have what they need to move through it feeling informed, grounded, and supported.

Anita

Midwife, Mother, Advocate

Care that listens. Support that empowers.

I’m a mother of two daughters and a midwife currently working within the NHS. My journey into caregiving began in 2005 as a nurse, evolved into midwifery in 2009, and deepened profoundly when I became a mother myself in 2017.

I believe in listening, truly listening, and offering women compassionate, non-judgemental support through every stage of their journey. After the birth of my first child, I gained a deeper understanding of how overwhelming, isolating, and transformative this time can be.

At the heart of my practice is a commitment to nurturing women and families with kindness, empathy, and unwavering support; holding space for their strength, their choices, and their unfolding stories.

Kat

Midwife, Reiki Practitioner, Mother of Three

Your body. Your birth. Your voice.

I have been an NHS midwife since 2008, a Reiki practitioner, and a proud mother of three. My work has spanned across a wide range of maternity settings, often bridging maternity care with wider health and social care support.

I am deeply passionate about informed decision-making, body autonomy, and protecting both the psychological and physical integrity of those I care for. Every woman deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and genuine empowerment.

I see myself as a holistic practitioner, someone who believes that true support weaves the emotional, physical, and energetic threads of motherhood together. At the centre of my practice is a simple but powerful intention: to honour women’s choices and uplift their innate strength.

Anita and Kat bring their extensive midwifery experience to our programs, offering insights into physiological birth, emotional support, and holistic practices that align with Tenth Moon's philosophy.

  • "I initially came to Sophie as a private client looking for practical birth prep, but I got so much more. She taught me to trust my instincts, made sure I understood all my options, and helped me feel genuinely empowered about my choices. Her background in yoga and nutrition was such an asset—I felt physically strong and mentally prepared for labor. Even when things didn’t go exactly as planned, I felt capable and confident, thanks to her guidance. Her support was invaluable, and I am endlessly grateful!"

  • "As a first-time mom, I had no idea what to expect, and I was nervous about everything. Sophie tailored each session to my unique needs and goals, guiding me through movements that fit my body, nutrition that kept me feeling great, and relaxation techniques that truly helped me feel prepared for birth. Her knowledge is second to none, and she taught me to trust my body in a way I never thought possible. I went into labor feeling confident, informed, and ready. I couldn’t recommend her enough!"

    — Emily L.

  • "Working with Sophie was transformative for me. She provided a blend of practical advice, emotional support, and the kind of encouragement that made me feel truly prepared for birth. The breathing techniques she taught me were a game-changer in labor, and her personalized approach to movement and nutrition made such a difference throughout my pregnancy. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide on this journey—her wisdom and humor made me feel empowered every step of the way!"
