We built this space because we couldn't find the support we needed anywhere else

About us

Intara was created by Lauren and Izzy, friends who have both lived through the heartache of multiple pregnancy losses. When we looked for support to help navigate the grief, fear and disconnection we felt, we couldn't find it. What was available felt generic, aimed at postpartum recovery or pregnancy, and wasn't something we felt able to join.

So we created Intara, a trauma-informed recovery space combining specialist movement, emotional support tools and expert guidance for women healing after pregnancy loss or birth trauma.

The name Intara draws from Latin inter and Sanskrit antara, meaning "between."

It represents the in-between space you occupy after loss or trauma, when life feels uncertain, nothing quite fits, and the world seems to be moving on faster than you can, or want to. When the world sees you as "healed," but inside, you're nowhere near.

Intara is a space for this time, a place to pause, reconnect with your body, build physical strength, and find support for your emotions, at your own pace.

Each space brings together gentle, expert-led Pilates with practical emotional support tools, not as separate elements, but as a connected approach, because moving forward requires both body and mind. Each space provides a variety of exercises and tools, allowing you to choose what you need each day, whether you feel like moving or just sitting with your breath. Exercises have clear progressions and regressions so you can build when you feel ready, or take it easy when you don't.

Our purpose is simple, to provide a space where you feel supported as you navigate this in-between and find your way forward.

Lauren Greenwood

Co-founder and your guide through the Intara spaces

I’m a qualified Body Control Pilates Instructor and Pre- and Postnatal Specialist, with advanced training from the Birth Trauma Association and in Advanced Pregnancy, Movement, and Early Motherhood.

I’ve built the Pilates content by drawing on both my professional training and my personal experience of repeated miscarriage. My work is grounded in the belief that recovery needs to be informed, compassionate, and responsive, not prescriptive or rushed.

I’m dedicated to supporting women to gently rebuild physical strength and emotional resilience through movement that is safe, empowering, and respectful of where you are right now.

I’ve has spent over 16 years working in healthcare communications, patient education, and health strategy, helping people understand complex health information and access the support they need.

Alongside my professional background, my own lived experience of pregnancy loss and birth trauma has shaped a deep understanding of the gap that exists between medical care and meaningful recovery support.

At Intara, my focus is on translating clinical knowledge into clear, compassionate, and practical guidance that women can actually use in their day-to-day recovery. I’m passionate about ensuring women feel informed, supported, and less alone during one of life’s most difficult experiences.

    Dr. Anna Galloway

    PERINATAL CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

    Dr Anna Galloway is a Perinatal Clinical Psychologist and Director of the London Perinatal Clinic. She works with women and their partners across the perinatal period, both before and after birth, with a particular focus on experiences of loss and trauma.

    Her specialist interest has developed over many years of clinical work with individuals and families, alongside personal experiences within her wider network. Through this, she has seen how profoundly pregnancy loss can affect people, and how often its impact is minimised by being described as "common," leaving many without the recognition, support and care they deserve.

    Anna understands that the effects of loss can be far-reaching, particularly when people feel isolated in their experience. She is committed to bringing these conversations into the mainstream and to providing compassionate, evidence-based support to help those affected by loss and trauma find a way forward.

    Dr. Panna Morgan

    GP

    Panna has been a doctor for nearly 20 years and has always approached her work with genuine compassion and a strong commitment to patient care. Alongside her medical experience, her own journey through pregnancy loss has given her a profound understanding of the emotional and physical challenges women face during and after loss.

    Following her first pregnancy loss in 2016, Panna experienced first-hand the lack of support available to women in the aftermath. After enduring multiple further losses herself, she found that even with extensive medical knowledge, the emotional complexity of aftercare could feel overwhelming and isolating.

    These experiences have shaped her passion for improving the support available to women and families during what can be a heartbreaking and life-changing time. She is deeply committed to helping women feel informed, supported and less alone as they navigate recovery after loss.

    Panna brings her medical expertise together with lived experience and a strong belief in creating more empathetic, holistic and accessible aftercare for women affected by pregnancy loss.
