Physiotherapist and Co-Founder of The Bump Room

Ailish led her first pregnancy fitness class in 2008. Building on this, Ailish has developed a team of physios in The Bump Room who deliver classes to pregnant and postnatal women in-person and online as part of The Bump Room community.

Education is at the core of The Bump Room. Ailish and her team regularly deliver webinars to physios, health professionals, mothers-to-be and mothers.

Ailish felt there was always something missing from her classes, this sense that she wasn’t preparing them for the biggest transformation of actually becoming a mother!

Being strongly called to become a Motherhood Studies Practitioner she immediately realised what was missing. “I was not addressing the changes becoming a Mother brings in a social context, now I can, I have the language, which allows me to deepen and expand the support I offer women in my classes and my team. It has been amazing, all the challenges I faced myself in becoming a mother were now understandable. All I want to do is share it!”

Nadia's mission is to support the high-achieving modern mum to be wildly successful, both personally and professionally. Challenged by her own experience of losing herself in motherhood after emerging from a highly successful academic and professional career, Nadia believes that women deserve to be seen, heard, understood, valued, supported and empowered in and beyond motherhood. Through her unique blend of cognitive, somatic, emotional and energetic work, Nadia works intuitively with mums to help them deeply understand, accept, respect and value themselves. Her absolute passion is working with mums to release trapped negative energy from unresolved core emotional wounds, which ultimately gives her clients the freedom to experience greater levels of happiness, fulfilment and success as women and mums. Nadia’s work is informed by her own personal experience of 15+ years of mothering, alongside all her learnings. She is proud to be a mum of three, certified Performance Coach, Master NLP Coach, Master Practitioner of Time Line Therapy® & Hypnosis, Certified Silent Counsellor, Motherhood Studies Practitioner and is working towards a Level 7 Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching qualification and an EQ Mastery Coach certification. She holds a Masters degree from Cambridge University in Oriental Studies and she enjoys nothing more than putting her feet up with a personal development book and a cuppa, guilt-free!

I have been a therapist for many years and even had some women who were struggling with the demands of motherhood come to me for therapy. However, it was only when I became a mother that I began to understand the limits of my knowledge and understanding regarding matrescence. The certification course gave me the language to voice my thoughts and feelings and a safe space to share. Through my practice, I want to be able to support others on their matrescence journey. Because only by being open with ourselves and others, can change be made.
