Work With Clare Maddalena
In person in Brighton or online and benefit from her 25 years of experience.
Sometimes a class isn't quite enough. Sometimes what you need is someone in your corner ~ someone who will sit with you, listen properly and help you work out what needs to change.
Hi, I'm Clare ~ I've spent 25 years supporting women through yoga and wellness, the last 20 of those running LushTums.
About Me
I founded LushTums in Brighton back in 2007, and it's been the thread running through my career ever since ~ whether that's teaching a class, training the next generation of teachers, or sitting with someone 1:1 like this.
I'm a Senior Yoga Teacher, a Doula and a FEDANT-accredited Antenatal Educator ~ I bring all of that experience into the 1:1 work I do, alongside a great deal of warmth and honesty. If you're local, I'd also love to see you at one of my Brighton classes.

Explore Teacher TrainingWhat I Offer
I offer two deeply personal ways of working 1:1, both rooted in nearly 25 years of experience supporting women through some of the most significant moments of their lives.
Whether you're navigating the everyday ~ burnout, sleep, weight, perimenopause, a body that doesn't feel like yours any more ~ or working through something more specific around birth or motherhood, these sessions offer a protected, unhurried space to go deeper. Both are available in person here in Brighton or online and are entirely tailored to you.
Wellness 1:1s
Open to any woman who feels like she's running on empty ~ whether you're burnt out and exhausted, struggling to sleep, carrying weight that won't shift, navigating perimenopause or menopause, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure where to start. You don't need to be pregnant, postnatal or even a LushTums regular, just ready for something to change.
In our sessions we'll look at your whole picture together: energy, sleep, nutrition, weight, mood, movement, habits and the harder-to-name things underneath. This isn't therapy and it isn't personal training ~ it's the kind of support that used to exist in communities, a wise woman in your corner helping you find your way back to yourself.

Birth Trauma & Fear ~ The 3 Step Process
The 3 Step Birthing Awareness Process works with anxiety, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, phobias, flashbacks, low mood and birth trauma. It has helped thousands of women and their partners release the emotional weight of a difficult birth and move forward with confidence. Based on the work of Mark Harris, it uses proven techniques that have even supported war veterans in recovering from trauma ~ in the right hands it is remarkably gentle and remarkably effective.
When birth doesn't go as expected, or when fear of birth is stopping you from feeling ready, these bespoke 1:1 sessions offer a gentle, effective way forward. If you experience flashbacks or intrusive thoughts about a previous birth, difficulty relaxing or sleeping, fear or dread around an upcoming birth, low mood or anxiety following birth, or a sense that things were out of your control, these sessions could help.
These sessions are gentle, confidential and entirely at your pace. For more information about the 3 Step Process visit our Birth Trauma & Fear page.
