A Real, Empowering Look at Pregnancy: Our New Collaboration with Kira West
We are thrilled to announce a brand-new collaboration between Blue Almonds and wellness creator Kira West — a journey that will follow Kira through her pregnancy to offer real insight, helpful guidance, and honest reflection for other women preparing to become mothers.
At Blue Almonds, we believe in supporting families not just with beautiful products, but with community, care, and stories that truly resonate. That’s why we’re so excited to partner with Kira — a wellness, fitness, and travel content creator whose thoughtful, intentional approach to pregnancy is both inspiring and refreshingly real.
Meet Kira West
Born in Brooklyn and now based in London, Kira is a marathon-running, wellness-obsessed, travel-loving creator with a passion for living intentionally. Before pregnancy, she was constantly on the go — leading a busy life filled with work, movement, travel, and purpose. But over time, she began to re-evaluate how she was spending her energy, shifting focus toward deeper connection with her husband (and their beloved dog), and creating space for what came next: motherhood.
Having previously experienced a miscarriage, Kira approached this new chapter with a deep sense of intention. “I started preparing about five months before we wanted to try officially,” she shares. “I focused on getting my body ready, but also gave myself time to mentally transition.”

A Thoughtful, Holistic Approach to Pregnancy
Kira’s preparation combined western and eastern practices — from acupuncture and therapy to nutrition and strength training. “I’ve been seeing Tam Hadley since January, and she’s been an incredible partner in this process,” Kira says. She also focused on building a prenatal-safe workout routine with the Ladder App, and brought her husband into the preparation as well, encouraging him to limit alcohol, take conception supplements, and invest emotionally in the journey.
Most importantly, she made rest and grace a priority.
“Pregnancy is a whole new version of yourself,” Kira explains. “I’ve become more focused on rest, prioritization and have had to give myself major grace as I have gotten into this pregnancy journey.”
Why We’re Sharing Her Journey
Our goal with this collaboration is simple: to open the door to honest conversations about pregnancy. We'll be sharing regular updates from Kira on everything from movement and mindset to nursery design, birth preparation, and the emotional rollercoaster of early motherhood.
Whether you're expecting, trying, or simply curious about what this chapter looks like in real life, we hope Kira’s story will serve as a reassuring, inspiring guide — one that reminds you that there’s no one right way to grow a family.
Because at Blue Almonds, we don’t just celebrate the picture-perfect moments. We honour the truth of the journey — the strength, the joy, the learning, and the love.
Stay tuned for the first chapter in Kira’s pregnancy journey — coming soon to the Blue Almonds blog and social channels, and follow Kira for updates on her instagram.
