Mother's Day can be difficult for the women we work with. Last week, we created a safe space for crafting, fun and reflective conversations. Each woman received a care package and flowers to ensure they felt seen and held in mind.

This week marks our final week as a Pause Practice - we are so grateful for the past 3 years of being part of the fabulous Pause Network Pause As a team, we have been reflecting on all the incredible women we have been privileged to walk alongside!
