“Not everything that is faced can be
Changed, but Nothing can be changed
until it is faced.”
— James Baldwin
1:1 Services
My 1:1 services offer gentle, truth-led spaces for reflection, healing, and growth. Whether through personal support sessions, small healing circles, or mentoring for women of colour, each offering is rooted in compassion and a deep respect for your story. Together, we’ll explore what it means to belong, to heal, and to create a life that feels whole.
We journey beyond the silence surrounding women whose paths to motherhood took a different turn, exploring what it truly means to belong, heal, and live with purpose.

“It’s such a comfort to know that we are not alone”
Dr Dawn Llewellyn

“Yvonne John is an inspiring speaker and activist. A passionate advocate for childless communities, she brings warmth, nuance, and intelligent reflection. I’ve learnt so much from working with Yvonne; her insights have deepened my understanding of the connections between race, gender, women’s health and pronatalism. And when she speaks, she speaks from the heart, sharing her story so others can share theirs. “
