Supporting the woman you are, and the mother you're becoming.
The Mama Series is a 12-practice journey designed by mothers, for mothers to support women through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into motherhood.
Developed by expert Sophrologists Dominique Antiglio (a seasoned mum) and Natalia Stepanova (a soon-to-be mum), this programme blends personal and professional insights to give you the tools to help you manage stress, navigate physical and emotional shifts, deepen your connection with your baby, and prepare for birth and postpartum recovery.
With each session, you’ll build the strength and awareness to meet the changes of pregnancy and motherhood — with compassion for yourself and confidence in your own way forward.

The Mama series is to support women through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into motherhood.
No previous experience with Sophrology is needed — just an openness to pause, breathe and tune into what you need.
The Mama Series includes twelve sessions, each focusing on a different theme to support you through pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood. You can move through the sessions in order or choose the ones that feel most relevant to you right now.
The real benefits come with repetition — practising daily helps you go deeper, strengthen your confidence with the method, and experience lasting calm and resilience over time.
Each session is around 10-15 minutes and follows a simple, supportive flow that’s easy to follow.
Dominique or Natalia will begin by introducing the theme for the week, then gently demonstrate each exercise. Once you’re familiar with the movements, you’ll be guided through the full practice — helping you settle into the session with confidence and ease.
Not at all — the best time is the one that fits naturally into your day.
Some people prefer to practise in the morning to set the tone for the day, while others find it helpful in the evening to unwind and sleep better.
What matters most is consistency. Find a moment that works for you, and try to stick with it each day.
Not at all. This programme is completely beginner-friendly and gently guides you step by step — no previous experience or equipment needed.
Sophrology is a simple, accessible mind-body practice that helps you feel more balanced, calm, and connected to yourself — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
It combines breathing, gentle movement, relaxation, meditation and visualisation to build self-awareness and resilience in everyday life.
