Welcome
Hi there and welcome to Mama & Me. My name is Valerie Johnston & I live in the picturesque village of Ashford, Co. Wicklow. Along for the ride is my husband, our 4 kiddies, 2 dogs, cat & bunny!!!
My children are the reason that I was first inspired to create my business back in 2011. What began with baby massage classes in my living room, soon grew to include mum & baby yoga, toddler & preschool yoga, and pregnancy yoga.
Over the years, as our family size increased, so did my passion for all things pregnancy & baby! I am continuously adding to my knowledge & experiences so that I can give the best to my clients. Most recently I have trained in hypnobirthing and reflexology. Next on the list is fertility yoga!
The aim of Mama & Me is to support and empower women through their pregnancy, labour, and early days of motherhood.
Classes and treatments are a safe space to ask questions, share stories, and learn from one another. I hope to see you at a class, workshop, or treatment session soon!
With gratitude,
Valerie x
