Goddess Hub CIC (community interest company) is a community for women that have experienced pregnancy loss and are at a point where they want to move forward and find a sense of purpose. It’s not about forgetting grief or denying experience or pain. It’s about helping women see that grief is a journey and providing them with the tools they need to heal themselves and awaken their inner goddess. We will achieve this via a weekend retreat using a special framework called S.O.A.R.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO SET IT UP?
In 2018, my daughter Mayah was stillborn at 35 weeks. I can’t describe how I felt but I was in a very dark
34
place and I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel until I used S.O.A.R, which helped me progress and eventually got me to the point (in 2020) where I founded a charity, Mayah’s Legacy, as well as becoming a coach and grief counsellor. Mayah’s Legacy exists to shine a light on the issue of pregnancy loss and in particular the mental health impact of it. It’s also dedicated to promoting self advocacy. There were times during my pregnancy when I could have spoken up about what I wanted to happen but I didn’t have the confidence or courage to do it. I have met other women who said that they had moments where they intuitively knew something was wrong and did speak up, but no one listened. Mayah’s Legacy helps women and their families gain the skills and the confidence to make
themselves heard. I took a year off work after I lost Mayah and joined various support groups, but I felt that much of it was about how you were feeling in the raw moments right after pregnancy loss and there wasn’t enough support to help women transition into the next phase. I was lucky to be able to take time off because it allowed me to focus on myself and be with my other two kids. That’s why I created Goddess Hub, to give women the time, the space and the support network they need to continue their healing journey, which has no time limit and is unique to each person.
WHAT IS S.O.A.R?
S.O.A.R stands for surrender, openness, action and approach and is a framework for healing and empowerment. The surrender
