✨ A Story of Strength, Love, and New Beginnings

I’m so proud to share something truly special today. My beautiful client Holly, after experiencing the heartbreaking loss of her baby boy Logan shortly after his birth, made herself a promise — to honour his memory by fulfilling her dream of becoming an author.

Together with her two sisters, Nina and Georgia, Holly created Logi Bear Books, a project born from love, grief, and hope. They’ve just released their very first book, “Where’d You Go” — a tender and heartfelt story that helps families talk about loss and love in a way that brings comfort and connection.

Holly and her sisters have poured every part of their hearts into Logi Bear Books, and I couldn’t be prouder to support them on this incredible journey.

As you can see, Holly is also preparing to welcome another beautiful baby in the coming weeks, and I feel so deeply honoured to be walking beside her once again through this next chapter. 🌈

Please join me in celebrating Holly, Nina, and Georgia — their courage, creativity, and unwavering love. You can find “Where’d You Go” and learn more about their beautiful mission at 🐻

✨ Two Best Friends, One Doula, One Journey ✨

There’s something so special about friendship, but it’s even more incredible when two best friends choose to walk their pregnancy and birth journeys together — with me by their side as their doula. 💕 Supporting them both through their pregnancies and births was such a privilege, and witnessing the strength, love, and connection they shared was unforgettable.

Now, as their babies have grown, our journey continues in a whole new way! I’m so excited to be teaching them and their little ones how to feel confident, comfortable, and safer in the water 🏊‍♀️💦. Seeing those same mums who leaned on me during birth now laughing, bonding, and learning alongside their babies in the pool is the most beautiful full circle moment.

I’m so passionate about supporting families — not just through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum — but also in empowering them with lifelong skills. Helping little ones develop water safety and confidence is a gift that goes far beyond the early years.

From the birth space to the swimming pool, it’s all about nurturing, empowering, and creating safe, supported environments for families to thrive. 🌸✨

💌 If you’re looking for a doula to walk alongside you during your pregnancy and birth, or a swim teacher to support your little one’s confidence and safety in the water — I’d love to chat!

Water has long been recognized as a soothing and supportive element during labour and birth. Whether you choose a water birth or simply use water as a comfort measure, here are some incredible benefits that water can offer:

Pain Relief: Water has a natural analgesic effect, providing relief from the intensity of contractions. Many women find that being immersed in water eases their discomfort and allows for a more peaceful labour experience.

Relaxation and Reduced Anxiety: Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of water is its ability to induce relaxation. Immersing yourself in warm water can help reduce stress and anxiety, enhancing your body's natural ability to progress in labour.

Increased Mobility and Freedom of Movement: Water buoyancy allows for increased freedom of movement, promoting optimal positioning, and helping your baby descend through the birthing canal. This enhanced mobility can facilitate a smoother and more comfortable labour.

Facilitates Gentle Transitions: Transitioning from the womb to the outside world can be a gentle and seamless experience for your baby. Water births provide a warm and familiar environment, replicating the amniotic fluid, which can ease the transition for your little one.

Privacy and Intimacy: Water births offer a serene and private space for you and your partner to bond with your baby. The calm and tranquil atmosphere can enhance the intimacy of the birthing process and create memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
