Mana Health Practice

Such a lovely space. Sophie’s incredible knowledge of postpartum bodies and her calm and caring approach, made the core recovery class the best way to start my week. I’ve learnt so much and use what I’ve learnt daily!

I highly recommend Sophie's pre and post-partum pilates classes. Apart from being a super lovely person Sophie's understanding of the demands of pregnancy, birth and caring for you kin has on the strength and stability of your body has been a revelation to me. Her classes are full of helpful information, personalised feedback and lots of laughs.

Relaxing & Educational! Sue’s classes are just wonderful, they help re set my nervous system and are gently weaved with knowledge of Pregnancy, Labor and Birth. I started these classes early on in pregnancy and each week feel more confident about brining bub into the world! Thank you so much Mana - you’re a haven for the Mama!

I have just completed the Mums and Bubs Pilates class with Sophie Jeffries and loved it! Sophie is a fantastic Pilates teacher and baby wrangler (at the same time!). The class is tailored to post-birth bodies and pelvic floor recovery. Sophie builds up the difficulty throughout the weeks so you’re not thrown in the deep end but by the end you’re getting a strong work out. Also met some great mums and had coffees after the class at a lovely cafe across the street. Would highly recommend this class for any new mums!

I also got the massage with baby care with Sue which was luxurious and healing. Such a great service!

Highly recommend JodyAnn for a massage - she is fantastic! And if you can get into one of her courses - do it!
She is full of knowledge and teaches from a place of love and wisdom - and a few laughs too:)

Highly recommend Sue as a doula to any pregnant woman - the birth of my first baby was an absolute dream and exactly as I wanted it to be - an unmedicated water birth. The support she provided to myself and partner during my birth, and pre and post natally was amazing and I had the absolute best experience! Really made such a major part of my life so special and I felt proud and empowered every step of the way. Will definitely be coming back for future babies!

I'm so happy that I had Sue as my doula for my second pregnancy. Her warmth and wisdom made me feel so confident and supported going into my birth.
Sue has a deep understanding of a woman's needs during labour, and an evidence based approach to birth, using bodywork to optimise labour. Her calming and reassuring presence was so integral to my positive birth experience. The prenatal massages are also incredible!

I also attended prenatal yoga classes at Mana Health, which always left me feeling so energised! It was lovely to be a part of a circle of pregnant women, and to absorb Sue's practical skills for birth during the classes.

I did the mums and bubg yoga. Mana is such wonderful place to connect with yourself, bubs and other mums. Sue in particular is gifted and i would highly recommend pre and post natal massage with her.

I've done prenatal yoga with Sue for both of my pregnancies from about 16weeks until the end, the space Sue holds for pregnant mammas is so precious and I always come away from the classes feeling stronger and with more information about birth. Sue has been such a positive influence in both pregnancies (and births) and I would also say her massages are second to none! Thanks Sue x

Loved both the prenatal and Mums & Bubs yoga classes with Mana Health. Exactly enjoyed them so much that I went back to Mana when having my 2nd bub! I would recommend them to anyone!

The prenatal yoga classes have been really nice so far in my pregnancy. I have learned so many great moves and positions that help with pregnancy discomfort but also will hopefully help during labour. Thanks very much Sue:)

Prenatal classes at Mana Health are lovely- I always leave feeling so much more relaxed and connected to my body, heart and baby. Thank you, Sue, for being a special part of my new journey into motherhood.

The space is very comfortable and pleasant. I loved my prenatal yoga classes here - Sue is serene and calming, and full of birthing wisdom.

My Son and I just finished a term of Mums & Bubs Yoga with Sue and we have thoroughly enjoyed them. Sue was very nuturing and intuitive with caring for bub so Mama could stretch and a wealth of knowledge in Meridians, Massage points and more to supporg our journey through the Postpartum period with other Mums and babies of similar ages. A necessity

Such an amazing place with so many pre and post natal options! I started the prenatal yoga when I was 12 weeks pregnant and practiced throughout my pregnancy, enjoyed the pre and post natal massages, did the “practical skills for birth” workshop with Sue, and just finished the ‘mum and bubs yoga’ with my 5 month old son. I cannot recommend this place enough for any future and current mums! Sue is very supportive, knowledgeable and kind, and she has been extremely instrumental in my pregnancy and motherhood journey.

My partner and I recently attended a birth preparation class with Sue. It was absolutely fantastic! I cannot speak highly enough of Sue and her experience. Sue is a wealth of knowledge and understanding. She shared valuable information that has empowered us both for the birthing journey.

Sue was able to equip my partner with tools, techniques and confidence to be able to play an active part in labour.
During the session Sue was warm and welcoming and open to any and all questions we had.
I would really recommend the Birth Prep class with Sue and also her wonderful prenatal yoga sessions!
Thanks Sue!

Sue has been an integral part of my pregnancy journey. I have found her prenatal massages to be very nurturing, relaxing and grounding. Sue has a very calm and warm style which is greatly appreciated. Sue is very generous in sharing her skills and knowledge with mummas and very genuine in her desire to empower and enhance women's pregnancy and birthing experience. Prenatal yoga classes have provided a lovely community in which Sue seamlessly weaves birthing knowledge into the class as we progress through helpful yoga positions. Sue had Mana Health practice is a wonderful resource for all mamma's no matter what part of the journey you are on. Thanks Sue!

Cannot recommend Sue and her team more. Supported me through my pregnancy, had wonderful treatments and Sue attended my dream birth a few weeks back. As my doula she helped prepare my mind, body and soul for the birth journey and appreciated her wisdom and guidance through the process. Thank you for everything. Highly recommend Mana!

I started pre-natal yoga with Sue when I was 19 weeks pregnant. I have gone every week since then and am now 32 weeks pregnant and will continue to attend each week until I give birth.

Sue is an incredible teacher. She is kind, knowledgeable, wise and gentle. I have learned so much about myself throughout the past 14 weeks and have been able to connect with my baby and embrace my body through these changes. This has been particularly important after having 2 miscarriages before this pregnancy. Even despite lockdown, I have thoroughly enjoyed attending yoga through Zoom every week. Sue gives birthing advice every week, which is highly valuable.

I highly recommend Sue and Mana Health to any pregnant person.

I've really been enjoying the prenatal yoga on zoom with Sue during lockdown. Having moved to the area just as lockdown 6 started, it has still been lovely to interact with other locals online, and definitely helped me feel more comfortable in pregnancy and preparing for delivery. I am looking forward to trying out more that Mana has to offer once restrictions start to ease.
