about me
Hey, I'm Becky Bohan
I became a mother in 2010. My life and everything as I knew it completely changed.
Married to my best friend and absolute rock Kyron, proud mother of 3 beautiful babies and a retired greyhound.
My journey has not always been an easy path especially when I had 3 babies under 5. However it has definitely been my biggest learning experience and certainly my most rewarding.
In 2010 I was newly married, a bit of a party girl, working in London’s City of Westminster as a lighting design engineer. I loved to travel and enjoyed the finer things in life.
My new chapter of life began when I became pregnant with my daughter. Becoming a mother completely changed everything!
I couldn't face the thought of putting my daughter into a full time childcare setting, motherhood brought such unconditional love, but with it massive anxiety for me so we made a BIG decision... I left my career to re-train and qualify with well-known parenting expert and author Sarah Ockwell-Smith as a gentle parenting teacher for BabyCalm and then went on to train and qualify as a ToddlerCalm teacher.
I met Sarah when I did a hypnobirthing course when pregnant.
The knowledge she shared came as such a relief when I realized that my parenting views and choices were ok! By holding and responding to my baby and trusting my instinct didn't mean I would be building a rod for my own back. I was just responding to my baby and her needs as mother nature intended.
​
I have used gentle techniques and carried all 3 babies from newborn in a sling. I do not think I would have survived emotionally or physically without. Wanting to help more people understand the benefits of holding their babies close I trained with School of Babywearing in September 2013 and in April 2014 I trained and qualified with Slingababy. Feeling truly inspired and motivated I set up Sling Dreams. In August 2014 I also took over Harpenden Sling Library and it is still running strong today now having some of the most experienced volunteers.
After struggling with both my physical and mental health in 2014 and again in 2016 my interests and training broadened. I wanted to know more about how I could heal myself in a more natural way, this led me to gaining many more skills, including becoming a Crystal and Shamanic Healer, a reiki Master and a reiki drum practioner to name a few new skills.
This formed my other business and passion 'The Mothers Touch' which includes The Mothers Circle, Self Care Self Love Retreats and Crystal Kids which run offering holistic therapies, workshop, healing and events helping you to navigate your own healing journey. Many offerings can help post birth, reducing stress especially following life changing events including the wonderful Post Natal ceremony Closing The Bones. Check out Becky Bohan - The Mothers Touch on both Facebook and Instagram if you wish to learn more.
I continue to learn and grow professionally and spiritually, gaining a wealth of experience and knowledge. I attend regular training events, study days and Continual Professional Development seminars. However my biggest teachers remain to be my own children. I will pass my knowledge to you by offering a tailor made, client focused service of the highest caliber.
