POV: You’re pregnant and your body is screaming for movement but you don’t know where to start 🤰✨ There’s no magic formula for pregnancy wellness, but I PROMISE you this: the moment you start moving your body (even just a little), everything shifts. Your mindset changes. Your energy changes. You’ll crave MORE. My 3-step approach: 🫁 Breathe first 💕 Reconnect second 🧘‍♀️ Move third (Most of us try to do this backwards!) What feels amazing for MY body might feel terrible for yours - and that’s totally normal! In my classes, I don’t give you a one-size-fits-all routine. I give you OPTIONS. I LISTEN to your body. I teach you tools you can take home and use whenever your body is calling for movement. This is your reminder that your pregnant body is capable of beautiful things 💪 Ready to feel good in your body again? DM me to join our community class this Sunday ☀️ The sun’s out and so are we!

When three became four ❤️ 23/05/2025 I'm so happy to finally share our news... This is the reason I have taken so much time away from this space. Through pregnancy and the first few weeks postpartum, I wanted to focus my energy on us. We are all obsessed with our little girl and, with watching our eldest, become the sweetest and most caring big brother. I'm still savouring this magical newborn bubble and enjoying every moment. I can't wait to share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to leave this here. Also, I just got these sneak peek photos from the amazing @darlingsofhackney . How gorgeous are they?! I'm obsessed. #FamilyOfFour #NewbornLove #BigBrother #WelcomeBaby #Family #LoveAtFirstSight #NewbornBubble #ParentingJourney #BabyGirl #GrowingFamily #MomLife #heartfull

Pregnancy invites us inward—a sacred unfolding of body, mind, and spirit. At MamaFlow, we honor this passage with mindful movement, soulful connection, and gentle community. This is a space to listen deeply. To soften into your body. To feel held—by others walking the same path. Let your journey be witnessed. Let your rhythm lead. Let it be sacred. ✨LINK IN BIO to join us this Sunday at 10am for our weekly yoga class followed by coffee - CLISSOLD PARK 📸 @darlingsofhackney thank you so much 🫶

Before founding my business I worked as a freelance designer and project manager at Ogilvy, The Beautiful Meme, Studio Frith and Brave New World, where I collaborated across a range of branding and creative projects for both commercial and cultural clients. I now run Alexandra Lunn Studio Ltd. a design and creative agency offering services in typography, branding, art direction, editorial design and bespoke visual communication. We collaborate with clients across cultural, fashion, editorial, and commercial sectors. Each project is an opportunity to push creative boundaries while staying true to our values of clarity, openness and care. Whether you're a founder building a personal brand, or a company who wants to stand out with something different, we strive to create work that tells powerful stories and makes a lasting impact. Luxury, legal and financial; we have worked with clients including @andersonharrisltd , @_finerfiner and @marchwomensocial to bring their visions to life with strategy, design and copywriting. Alongside my studio, I also run @_well_crafted_ a side venture that focuses on empowering craftspeople and teams facing burnout. We're building a community where creatives are fairly compensated for their time and skills. We have an event coming up with @londoncraftweek on the 12th May at @secondhome_io if you'd like to learn more about it! Outside of work, have a ceramics practice that helps me to unwind; I get to explore my creativity in a tactile, hands-on way. It helps me to disconnect from the digital world and relaaaaaaaax–vital to maintaining balance. When I’m not designing, I also enjoy reading, walking, and cooking. Your turn! 📸 @darlingsofhackney

Couldn’t make it along to the launch breakfast for my new business @_well_crafted_ at @old_sessions_house last week? Don’t worry! Our next creative workshop is on the horizon in May; DM us for details! If you missed it, here’s a recap of what we covered: Claire Koryczan, Rain Chan and sicgmone kludje as well as artists, makers and learning and development professionals joined us for a panel, that covered how times are changing and how we are redefining workplace culture along with it. Here’s what our panelists spoke about: @ck_sunnysideup , founder of Imagine Beyond shared insights on how tuning into a more relaxed state of mind through play and craft can support our mental health, team camaraderie and professional development which in turn creates a better quality of work, retention of staff and a more successful business. A win–win!   @rainshuaiyu , founder of @cahaya.studios , brought a fresh perspective from her experience in creative industries and pleating. She also emphasised the powerful role process and experimentation has when creating anything new.    @sicgmone kludje, co–founder of @blackgirlknitclub shared her experiences of teaching at @unioftheartslondon the @vamuseum , @bbc and how participating in mindful, relaxing activities has had a transformative effect on corporate teams and groups. Thank you also to @darlingsofhackney for the live lino-cutting demo–offering a hands-on taste of the creative experience–and creating this stunning bank of images! And – @goosebox_london for the delicious breakfast treats 🥐

A heartfelt ♥️ thank you to everybody who made it to the launch of my new baby 🍼 bright and early this week 🌄 at @old_sessions_house . A special thanks to the team at @goosebox_london for the pastries 🥐, coffee and goodie bags. And @darlingsofhackney for taking these stunning photos 📸 @ck_sunnysideup (Imagine Beyond) @sicgmone (@blackgirlknitclub ) and @rainshuaiyu (@cahaya.studios ) your pearls of wisdom with us on everything craft were so insightful: Downtime is so important for us to be productive. We are spending so much of our time disconnected and distracted by technology etc. however, by engaging in a creative task, exercise or meditation your body will remember all the ways to relax: your brainwaves will go from an agitated beta to a calmer alpha and eventually to the theta. Your respiration, heart rate and blood pressure will go down; because of all this, you’ll make good decisions, have new ideas, be more present and perform even be better at work and in general— be a better person to be around. If you’d like to learn more about how we at Well Crafted can help you and your team to thrive and perform better then just send us a DM today. If you didn’t get chance to enjoy the fun on Tuesday then don’t worry, we have something else coming up with @londoncraftweek 2025.
