The idea for The Space Between affirmation cards was born in a moment of pause, standing in a hospital entrance. Upstairs, I was a birth partner, holding the hand of a mother bringing new life into the world. Downstairs, my dad was having his lung drained, and I was the caring daughter, trying to hold it together.
That day I realised what it meant to live between worlds, to give care and to need it. To be strong, and to crumble. To nurture and to long for nurturing myself.
These cards are for that space.
For those of us who hold, soothe, steady and listen. For the doulas, the carers, the therapists, the counsellors, the ones who notice the unsaid and sit in silence when words fall short.
They are a reminder that our hears matter too. That while we are often the steady ground for others, we need safe ground of our own.
In the space between giving and receiving, between joy and grief, between exhaustion and renewal, there is room for us too.
This deck is designed as a gentle companion, offering words of reassurance, comfort and strength on the days you need them most.
Pick a card when you need a reminder to pause, breathe and know that your work, and your presence, matters.
Hanna Wildman is the most wonderful artist who lives locally to me. She creates layered mixed media works that find beauty in the imperfect by faded glamour, time worn textures and the raw poetry of urban surfaces. As a lifelong makeup artist, her intuitive painting serves as a creative outlet that allows her to rebel against perceived societal norms of polished perfection, creating soul fuelled art that embraces a 'lived-in' look.
Hanna works from her garden studio in Puttenham.

The Breastfeeding Support Bus is the dream of Madelaine McMahon. Working as a Breastfeeding Counsellor and Doula, Maddie witnessed the lack of support experienced by mothers and parents, together with the desperation and needless suffering that this lack of support caused.
Year on year there were government funding cuts that left maternity services including breastfeeding support at a crisis point. Maddie dreamed of a better world, a world that gave optimum (not minimum) support that would nurture new mothers, parents and babies; where mothers and parents are provided with evidence-based information.
