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

About Intara

Intara was created by Lauren and Izzy, friends who have lived through the heartache of multiple pregnancy losses and traumatic births. When we looked for support to help us navigate the grief, the fear, and the deep disconnection we felt from our own bodies, we couldn't find it. What existed felt generic, aimed at postpartum recovery or pregnancy, and had nothing to say to women in the in-between.

So we built it ourselves.

Intara provides trauma-informed programmes that combine specialist Pilates-based 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 pregnancy 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 everyone around you sees you as healed, but inside, you're nowhere near.

Intara is a space for this time.

What we believe

When we started building Intara, we knew two things clearly.

The first was that movement had to be at the heart of it. Not exercise for the sake of it, but Pilates specifically, because Pilates is slow, deliberate, and deeply connected to breath and body awareness. After pregnancy loss or trauma, many women feel estranged from their bodies, unable to trust them, or afraid of them. Pilates, taught well and with genuine understanding of what women have been through, is one of the most powerful ways to rebuild that relationship. It meets you where you are. It doesn't push. It restores.

The second was that movement alone isn't enough. What happens to your body doesn't stay separate from what happens to your mind. Grief, anxiety, and trauma live in the body as much as the heart. Any support worth having had to hold both, with practical emotional tools that women could actually use. Not a list of suggestions, but structured, expert-led guidance built into the programme itself.

We also knew we couldn't build this alone. Every expert we brought into Intara was chosen deliberately: Psychologists, midwives, GPs, physiotherapists, breathwork practitioners — all with real expertise in loss and trauma, and many with lived experience. We weren't willing to build something that felt good but wasn't clinically grounded. Women navigating this deserve better than that.

Our purpose is simple: to make sure no woman is left to figure this out on her own.

Lauren Greenwood

Co-founder and your guide through the Intara programmes

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 built the Pilates content at Intara by drawing on both my professional training and my personal experience of repeated pregnancy loss. I know what it feels like to be told you're physically recovered while everything inside you says otherwise. I know the fear of moving your body again, and the quiet power of learning to trust it.

My work is grounded in the belief that recovery needs to be informed, compassionate, and responsive. Not prescriptive or rushed. Every session I've built is designed to meet you where you are, with clear progressions when you're ready, and space to simply breathe when you're not.

I'm dedicated to supporting women to rebuild physical strength and emotional resilience through movement that is safe, empowering, and genuinely respectful of what you've been through.

I've 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.

My own lived experience of pregnancy loss and birth trauma sits alongside that professional background and has given me a very direct understanding of the gap between medical care and meaningful recovery support. The moment you are discharged is not the moment you are healed. For most women, it's when the hardest part begins.

At Intara, my focus is on translating clinical knowledge into guidance that is clear, compassionate, and practical, the kind of support I wish I'd had. I'm passionate about making sure women feel informed, less alone, and genuinely equipped to move forward.

    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.
