Come for the croissants. Stay for the Conversation
A warm, unhurried morning with your little one, a little distance from the pressure of motherhood. Little ones explore wooden toys and natural objects at their own pace while you breathe, connect, and find your village. We watch what catches their eyes, the texture that surprises them, the way they look at you. We chat about the love, the beautiful chaos, and everything in between.
Because when a mother feels relaxed, nurtured, and held — so does her baby. romoma puts mothers first. Whatever season you are in, there is a place here for you and a community of mums waiting to meet you.

02What happens
A quiet rhythm, the same shape every week.
A calm rhythm every week. Not because we are rigid, but because mums need to know what to expect.
The door is already open. The room is already warm. Croissants from Haxby Bakehouse, Coffee from Roost, roasted in Yorkshire.
A quiet check-in, followed by time to unwind and connect with your little one. A bell and songs closes the session. The croissants stay on the board. Nobody has to leave until they are ready.

Find a cushion.
Find a seat. A mug something warm and comforting is brought to you. We begin with a check in.
iii
A quiet check-in.
You can pass if you’d rather just sit and listen.
iv
Babies in the centre.
Natural objects—wooden rings, linen pouches, we watch what takes their interest and follow their lead.
v
Songs to close.
The same ones every week. Slow and familiar.
03Meet Emma
Someone who knows how to sit beside you without fixing anything.
Emma has spent her working life alongside people who needed a little more support than the system was set up to give them.
With a degree in Childhood Studies and years as a wellbeing mentor, she knows how to help parents find their footing at the point where things feel hardest.
That work taught her that parents deserve to be nurtured too. The first years are not just about the child. They are about the person becoming a parent, and how much that person needs to feel held, connected, and part of something. When you look after the mother, the little one thrives too.
Emma spent ten years as a stay-at-home mum to her two boys, Haze and Finch. She knows what the early weeks feel like from the inside.
She is here every week.
04Meeting you where you are
This is our gentlest value. We move at your little ones pace.
We wait for the reach rather than pressing a toy into a hand. We follow their lead and stop when they stop. This culture extends to you, too. You can sit out a song, leave early, or feed however you need to feed.
We are here to support your postnatal journey, helping you restore and rebalance in a space where you are held and heard.

Tuesday 8 September · 10:30am · MOVA Studios, Acomb
A wellness discovery morning for you and your baby
MOVA is opening the studio doors for a gentle taster session, made for postnatal mums and their babies. A warm and easy morning to come and see what moving with us could look like, meet the instructors, and have a proper look around the studio, with no experience needed.
What we’ll explore together:
- Mum & babies Nurture Circle: an intro to breathing, wooden toys for little hands to explore, and a calming space to connect with other mums.
- Baby yoga: introducing a few gentle moves you can do together.
- Mum & babies Mat & Reformer Pilates: a thorough walk-through of the machine, and posture for Pilates explained.
There’ll be teas, coffees and croissants waiting for you. A warm drink in your hand, a lovely space to be in, and other mums who know exactly where you are right now.
Come to move a little, ask anything you like, and get a feel for how it all works. It’s a happy, relaxed way to discover what will work for you and your baby.
Tickets are £15, which can be used as credit towards a membership or class pack if you decide to stay. Non-walking babies only; crawlers welcome. We’d love to have you.
