Root yourself. Only then will you be able to grow.
Trauma-informed women's health specialist, full spectrum and abortion doula, movement facilitator and Pre and Perinatal Psychology educator
The grief of a pregnancy lost. The complexity of a termination you have never spoken about. The birth that left you shaken in ways you still cannot explain. The fertility journey that took everything and gave nothing back. The quiet sadness of a door that has closed, or may be closing.
And underneath all of it, something even older. Because your nervous system began developing before you were born. You absorbed your mother's emotional landscape, her grief, her fear, her love, before you had any language for any of it. The patterns that live in your body today have roots that go further back than the experiences you can name.
These things are connected. They live in the same body, share the same nervous system, belong to the same story. And they need to be held together, not one at a time.
I am here for all of it.
No experience is too complicated, too early, too late or too much. A woman may come to me for miscarriage support and find she is also carrying an abortion she processed alone at nineteen. Another may arrive for birth trauma work and discover it connects to something that began before she was born. Everything is welcome here.
If you've had a miscarriage, chances are you were given some information and then sent home to get on with it. What most people aren't told is how much is actually happening in your body. Your hormones crash suddenly and that's what's behind the exhaustion, the fog, the waves of emotion that can feel completely out of proportion. It's not. Your body went through something huge. You carried that pregnancy in a very real physical way, and that doesn't just disappear because the world moved on.
Enquire →Whether your termination was recent or years ago, straightforward or complicated, a relief or a loss or somewhere in between, you deserve support that doesn't ask you to explain yourself. A lot of women aren't prepared for what their body actually goes through afterwards. The hormonal crash, how long the bleeding can last, contractions that nobody mentioned, a period that might not return for months. And most of the time nobody checks in after. You're just left to figure it out. I know that experience personally and it's a big part of why I do this work.
Enquire →Stillbirth is one of the most under-supported experiences there is. Your body went through a full birth. Your milk may have come in because your body didn't know. And then you were expected to go home and somehow carry on. What follows, the hormonal shifts, the grief that doesn't follow a neat timeline, the physical recovery, is rarely explained or supported in the way it needs to be. Your loss is real. Your baby was real. And that deserves more than what most women are given.
Enquire →Birth trauma can live quietly in the body for years. The birth that felt frightening, out of control, or nothing like what you hoped for. As a trauma-informed doula and practitioner, I support women in processing what happened and finding their way back to their bodies.
Enquire →IVF cycles that failed. The months and years of hoping. The exhaustion of a body treated as a medical project. The particular grief of a door that may be closing. I support women through all of it, with tools for the nervous system as much as for the heart.
Enquire →Your story began before birth. The nervous system is the first thing to develop in the womb. We absorb our mother's emotional landscape before we have words for any of it, and those earliest experiences shape how we carry everything that comes after.
Enquire →Hormonal health, nervous system regulation, burnout, perimenopause, the invisible load. One-to-one coaching that holds the whole picture, from conception through every life stage that follows, with practical tools for real moments.
Enquire →Some grief needs more than a session. It needs ceremony. I hold womb circles, one-to-one ceremonies and immersive retreats including Wild Womban in Tuscany, September 2026. Small circles, held with intention, for women who are ready to put down what they've been carrying.
Wild Womban →Trauma-sensitive movement, restorative yoga and body-based practices that work with the nervous system rather than against it. One-to-one sessions, workshops and group offerings rooted in safety, compassion and the body's own wisdom.
Enquire →Available for panels, keynotes and media on reproductive trauma, women's health, nervous system wellbeing and the experiences that mainstream healthcare still fails to hold. Panel speaker at HLTH Europe 2026, featured in BBC StoryWorks' The Shift, and teaching at Wilderness Festival for the fourth consecutive year.
Enquire →Everything I offer is rooted in the same thing, helping you understand your body, process what you've been carrying and find your way back to yourself. Here's how we can work together.
Personalised 60 minute online sessions drawing on somatic check-ins, movement, nervous system regulation, restorative practices, women's holistic health coaching, pre and perinatal psychology and womb ceremony for reproductive grief processing. Each session is tailored to exactly where you are right now.
✦ The Wild Womban Workbook is a prerequisite for one to one sessions. It helps us both understand your full picture before we begin.Non-judgmental, compassionate support before, during and after abortion, miscarriage, birth and loss. I specialise in supporting women with hyperemesis gravidarum, having experienced it myself. I also offer antenatal and postnatal sessions which include trauma-informed yoga and movement, because your body needs to be held through every stage of this.
Trauma-informed workshops for organisations who want to genuinely support their people, not just tick a box. Covering women's health transitions, nervous system regulation, neurodiversity awareness and burnout prevention. Bespoke to your team and their needs.
A self-guided online workbook for women ready to go back to the very beginning of their story. 16 chapters, interactive hormone charts, five questionnaires, womb nourishment practices and a 30 minute integration call with me included.
Immersive retreat experiences and intimate womb ceremonies for women who are ready to put down what they've been carrying. Wild Womban in Tuscany, September 2026 is fully booked. Get in touch to be first to hear about future dates.
Available for panels, keynotes, podcasts and media appearances on reproductive health, womb healing, nervous system wellbeing, women's health transitions and the experiences mainstream healthcare still fails to hold. Panel speaker at HLTH Europe 2026, featured in BBC StoryWorks' The Shift.
A self-guided workbook for every woman who has ever carried a reproductive experience alone and never quite been given the space to put it down.
This is not a workbook about one specific experience. It is about the whole picture. Because abortion and miscarriage and birth trauma and fertility grief and pre and perinatal experiences do not exist in isolation. They live in the same body, share the same nervous system, and need to be held together.
You will begin at the very beginning, with how your nervous system was shaped long before you had words for any of this. You will name what you have been carrying without shame or hierarchy. And you will be given practical, body-based tools for release, nourishment and ceremony.
When you have worked through the material, we spend 30 minutes together. Just us. To integrate what has come up and help you move forward.
£55 plus VAT. VAT is added at checkout.
Once purchased you will receive your password to access the workbook online. Your 30 minute integration call is included and booked once you have worked through everything at your own pace.
Hey beautiful soul, it's so good to meet you.
My name is Heemali and I honestly don't know where to start because it's always hard to explain what I do, mainly because I don't feel like my work is separated from my soul. This is my purpose. Every experience I've been through, no matter how hard it's been, has led me to be here, to be this voice for people who can't always speak for themselves, this advocate for women and girls, this container that creates safety for others to feel held.
My story actually starts in my mum's womb, and it's something I didn't learn until I was in my early thirties because I'd gone through a very similar experience to her. And when I found that out it really changed the narrative for me in so many ways, because I was finally able to understand why I behave the way I do, why I process things the way I do. It just made so much sense of everything I'd been through.
The most important thing I've learnt through all of this is how impactful our emotions really are and how we're just not taught to process them, as a society we genuinely aren't. The more we're able to safely do that, the more we can release what we've been holding, and it really is a game changer.
I was racially bullied growing up, quiet, anxious, never really felt like I belonged. Dancing saved me, it was the first time I ever felt free in my body, but when I started training professionally that relationship broke down completely, it got toxic and I developed body dysmorphia. I was diagnosed with PCOS and put on the pill with no real conversation about why. Came off it, went travelling, got into a car accident, started having panic attacks and just didn't deal with any of it. Went into corporate life, climbed the ladder, kept pushing, and eventually burnt out completely. Panic attacks every day, severe psoriasis, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. My body had been trying to get my attention for years.
It was during all of this that I started feeling really drawn back to my roots, to my lineage, to the things that had always quietly been there in the background but that I'd never felt I could fully explore, partly because of the bullying I experienced growing up and not feeling like I was allowed to take up that space. Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, that real oneness of the mind, body and soul connection. It felt like coming home. So I left my job and started actually listening, working with an acupuncturist, a kinesiologist, a trauma coach, a functional doctor, and I retrained as a trauma-informed yoga and restorative yoga teacher and as a women's holistic health coach in Ayurveda. In my late teens I'd worked as a baby sensory facilitator and in SEN schools and had always been really drawn to the mind-body connection, to neuroscience, to how our earliest experiences shape everything that comes after, so as I started healing it all started clicking into place.
Then I got pregnant unexpectedly whilst using contraception and found out I had hyperemesis gravidarum, the same condition my mum had when she was pregnant with me. I couldn't keep anything down, my lips were going purple, I had no energy, and when I went to the hospital I was turned away. I had a termination and it was genuinely one of the hardest experiences of my life. Nothing happened the way I was told it would, I bled for months, the contractions lasted ten hours, my period didn't return for six months and not one health worker checked in on me afterwards. I was just left to get on with it alone.
And that's really the heart of why I'm here, because no woman should have to go through any of that without someone in her corner. I am who I wish I'd had. Someone to advocate, to educate, to hold space and remind you that you have complete agency over your own body. I went on to train as a trauma-informed full spectrum and abortion doula and I'm currently training in Pre and Perinatal Psychology and Neuroscience, because I truly believe that's where so much of this begins, right back in the womb.
Inclusivity, diversity and accessibility are at the heart of everything I offer. If you're from an indigenous or marginalised community and money's a barrier, please just reach out. We'll figure something out together.
"I had a beautiful experience with Heemali. Her guidance is gentle, intuitive, and incredibly supportive. She pays close attention to every detail, making sure you feel safe and comfortable throughout the session. She creates such a welcoming space, and I'm so grateful for the experience."
"I'm so grateful to have met Heemali and had the opportunity to explore trauma-release work as well as benefit from her guidance in many areas including yoga and spiritual healing. I look forward to continuing to work with Heemali throughout my healing journey and beyond."
"Heemali is the most patient, caring and kind human being. She is tuned in, grounded and unlike most other teachers and healers, she has vast experience supporting those in complex situations and those with trauma. At a time where I felt completely alone, disconnected and disorientated, her patience, encouragement and kindness is what got me through."
"Every yoga class with Heemali that I participated in was great. She can create a space where you feel good and taken care of. I really recommend it!"
"Heemali is an excellent teacher. She explained each position clearly and helped me to feel confident in what I was doing. I finished feeling relaxed, clear headed and focused. I can't wait to attend another of Heemali's classes."
"I joined Heemali's yoga classes organised by the company I work for. I really enjoyed them, Heemali is a great teacher and I would recommend her classes to anyone."
