Hi, I am Gloria, proud Mama, certified Hoop Love Coach and the founder of Mama’s Circle.
Like many other Mamas, I have had a really hard time adjusting to motherhood. I struggled with being far away from my family and friends and had a difficult pregnancy which saw me spend three months in hospital before I gave birth. Long story short, I developed postnatal depression and anxiety and was struggling a lot.
On one of those dark days, while sorting through the house, I found a hula hoop that I had bought a few years back. I thought it might help me get rid of that annoying “mum tum” so I jumped in it and got hooked immediately. I hooped every day for the next three months, even when it was just for 10 minutes. To my amazement, I lost 9 kg in those first few months.
But losing weight was not the best thing that came out of my new found love of hooping. I began to notice how much it helped me in my mental recovery as well as getting back into shape.
Hooping has played a big role in me overcoming my mental health struggles and I strongly believe that it can have the same positive and life-changing effects on other mamas who feel like they have lost a part of themselves in the maze of new motherhood.
I founded Mama’s Circle to fulfill my dream of building a thriving community of hula hooping mamas, online and offline. Mama’s Circle is a playground for mamas. Join us to take some time out and do something just for yourself. Hang out and catch up with other hoop loving mamas who have got your back, cheering you on from the sidelines while you embark on your hoop journey. Blow off some steam and leave feeling happy and energized with your brains and bodies flooded with those yummy endorphins, ready to take on the world.

Much love,

Gloria xxx
