The Maternal Alchemist

I’m here to change the story of birth and motherhood - alchemising fear into confidence and reminding women of their power.

Through holistic, joy-filled preparation + engaging education, I help women step into birth with confidence and courage.

"𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚖𝚢 𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚑𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚘 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚋𝚒𝚛𝚝𝚑?"

This question arrives earlier than most people expect.

You might feel a flicker of excitement about birth - and then, almost immediately, doubt follows. Will I cope? Will I know what to do? What if it feels like too much?

These thoughts aren't a sign that something is wrong with you. They're a sign that you're standing at the edge of something enormous and new, and you're paying attention.

⚡️ Your body has held this knowledge far longer than your mind has. Birth is not something it needs to be taught. But understanding — real understanding, the kind that lands in your body and not just your head, can be the difference between bracing against birth and moving with it.

When you know how birth actually works, doubt begins to soften because you stop being afraid of the unknown. You start to trust what's already there.

🗝️ If you're curious about how you learn best and what kind of support might feel right for you, my Birth Magic Quiz is a good place to begin. → https://bit.ly/Birth_Quiz

Mama first. CEO second.

Right now? I’m off-grid(ish)… chasing sunshine, taking slow mornings, enjoying churros for breakfast, my morning coffee sipped to the rhythm of the waves… fully melting into presence with my boys.

To my mamas-to-be… you’re never far from my thoughts and you are the muse. The why. The heartbeat of everything I’ve created since 2020 so I can’t switch off completely… women are always having babies!

If you’re ready to step into your most calm, powerful, deeply supported BIRTH ERA then come closer as I whisper maternal alchemy your way.

This is where education meets the mystical, where head (mind) + hearth (home/body) mind + heart (energy/ spirit) are all woven together… and where you’re held every step of the way into the birth you actually desire.

You only get this version of this birth once. Let’s make it count with deep intention, power and a whole heap of nurture and love.

Come and explore my online live course ‘Birthology’ (my April cohort starts 23rd) so why not book a call for when I’m back, binge the podcast, especially while we’re having our little viral moment 👀🔥
(And if you missed my chat with … gorgeous, go catch up immediately - we’ve gone global!)

www.aimeestrongman@com" rel="ugc" target="_blank">www.aimeestrongman@com to discover more!

Drop into the energy of birth being exciting, heart bursting and fun and send me a DM to simply say:

𝑯𝒆𝒚 𝑨𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒆 𝑰’𝒎 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰’𝒎 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 ______!!”

And fill in the blanks!

I’ll be back soon, a little sun-kissed (hopefully), ice cream-fuelled, and carrying a little fresh magic ✨

There is something incredibly tender about preparing for your first birth.

You don't yet know how strong you are in this arena. You haven't met this version of yourself yet. And in the middle of all the noise, the statistics, the opinions, the horror stories passed on without invitation, it can be hard to hear your own quiet knowing underneath it all.

Birthology was created especially for first-time mamas AND for the women who want to birth differently than before — who birthed, but felt like it happened around them rather than with them. Who want to arrive at this threshold more powerful than before.

For the woman who feels the pulse of wonder at the very start of this and wants to honour it properly. Who wants preparation that feels nourishing rather than frightening. Who wants to understand her body, her choices, her voice, rather than simply hoping things go well on the day.

It isn't a course you consume alone at night, hoping it sinks in.

It's six weeks of learning together, in a small and carefully held circle, where you are seen, heard, and supported all the way through. By the end, something has been unlocked.

The village is established. And you have met the woman who was always capable of this.

🛖 Seven spaces remain for the April cohort. If this is calling to you, talk to me first.

"𝙸𝚜 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚘𝚔𝚊𝚢 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚖𝚢 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢?"

In the early weeks of pregnancy, your body is doing extraordinary things in the dark.

A heart forming.
Lungs beginning.
Tiny toes taking shape.

And your mind - quite naturally - moves to fill the space where you can't yet see or feel very much.

The gap between appointments stretches. Every sensation becomes a question. The waiting feels longer than it should and the uncertainty feels like waves you can’t quite get over.

These are all things I hear most often from the pregnant women I work with, and I want you to know: it isn't worry for the sake of it.

It's you paying close attention. It's you already beginning to tune in.

What makes the biggest difference in these early months isn't more information - it's about you having someone calm beside you. Someone who can meet your questions without adding to the noise. Someone who can say this is normal (and sometimes not), and who can help you make a plan moving forward.
You don't have to carry this quietly on your own. 🛖

📲 If you're in those early weeks and you'd welcome a steady voice, book a free 15-minute call.

We'll just talk about where you are right now. → https://aimeestrongman.as.me/

An incredible conversation with Katharine Graves talking all about hypnobirhting on

Katharine is the founder of KGHypnobirthing, a method that has transformed the way thousands of women and families prepare for birth.

Her passion for empowering mothers with knowledge, calm, and confidence has reshaped birth experiences across the world, and her work continues to ripple out through generations of midwives, teachers, and parents.

Since recording I have also trained with Katharine and offer my Co-Creation for couples looking to work together on this journey together into family life.

Six years ago this spring, I began this expansion into the realm of Maternal Alchemy.
And as the wheel turns, I am even more determined than the last.

Birthology is a birth preparation course like no other - a holistic, live, online gathering where we explore the power, the mystery, the science and the spiritual elements of birth together.

Over six immersive weeks we go deep into what really matters:

✽ your body,
✽ your choices
✽ the metamorphosis into becoming a mother.

Because birth is not a one-time event. It is an imprint and a story that will live within you forever.

🛖 Doors are open for April's cohort.

Seven spaces remain and I wonder if one of them is yours?

I'd love to hear about how you’re doing.

Early pregnancy can feel strangely private…
like you’re carrying a whole new world inside you that nobody else can quite see yet.

You might have stared at that positive test a little longer than you expected to.
Not because you weren’t happy…but because suddenly everything felt very real.

You might feel excited one moment and strangely quiet the next.

You might already love the tiny life growing inside you…and at the same time feel completely overwhelmed by the magnitude of what’s beginning and becoming.

Maybe you’ve found yourself googling things late at night and maybe you’ve opened pregnancy apps and then closed them again because it suddenly felt like too much information, too soon.

Maybe a part of you is thinking:
Is it normal to feel like this?

So, let me tell you something gently.

Early pregnancy isn’t always glowing and certain and serene.

Sometimes it’s tender, sometimes it’s surreal and sometimes it’s a quiet emotional shift that your heart is still catching up with and you can’t quite believe life is forming within you.

Pregnancy can not be done ‘wrong’, you are crossing a threshold from maiden to mother - it's not something to be taken lightly. It's one of the most transformational experiences in life, if not the most, and becoming a mother doesn’t happen overnight.

It begins in these small, unfolding moments.
The wondering, the adjusting and in the revealing that something extraordinary has begun.

And wherever you are in that unfolding…
You are exactly where you’re meant to be.

✨ THE CO-CREATION COURSE ✨

COUPLES HYPNOBIRTHING
April / May / June spaces are open for booking

If you’re pregnant and planning your birth with your partner, there’s a way to do this that feels a lot more connected than just ticking boxes and hoping for the best.
This is your “we’ve got this” era with intention, and deep transformation.
The Co-Creation Course is more than simply hypnobirthing.

It’s a space where you both get to slow down, ask questions, understand what’s actually happening in the body… and find your rhythm as a team.

We weave together the science (so things make sense), the body (so you can feel into it), and the quieter pieces too like breath, awareness, presence… the things that shift how birth actually feels on the day and the months that follow.

Inside The Co-Creation Course, we blend:
✨ Hypnobirthing (calm, breath, mindset — your foundation)
✨ The science (biomechanics + physiology so it all clicks)
✨ Body awareness & deep relaxation
✨ Ritual, intention & that subtle alchemy that shifts everything

The co-creation was created for couples who see this pathway as a partnership; learning together, leaning on one another and being woven together in love and creation.
There’s usually a moment where it clicks for both of you…
Like, “oh… we can actually do this together.”
Those are my favourite moments.

We do this in your home (or on Zoom), over four sessions, at a pace that feels calm and unhurried with time to ask questions and assimilate the learning!
A space to let go of some of the fear,
build trust in your body, and step into this next chapter feeling more connected to yourself, to each other, and to your baby.

If you’ve been wanting antenatal education that feels a bit more human and personal I’m here.

Spring spaces are open now.

→ If it feels like something you want to explore,
send me a message or comment “APRIL” or “COCREATE”” and I’ll personally be in touch to book a complimentary call - no pressure, at all, just a conversation.

I’d really love to hear where you’re at with it all.

⚖️ Spring Equinox is here, my love… and I am soooo ready!!! can you feel the shift?!

There’s this fresh, sparkly, slightly emotional, slightly magical energy in the air and I’m HERE for it.

Day and night are equal right now so the light and the dark in perfect balance. And as your honorary cheerleader, I need you to hear this:
You are allowed to dance between the two!

You can feel excited and overwhelmed Grounded and wobbly Ready and unsure

Especially if you’re pregnant or in the thick of motherhood… this balance? This is your work, your magic, your alchemy.

During this sacred middle of time everything begins to awaken.
The earth is stretching open
The light is growing stronger The air feels different (have you noticed?)

There is a quiet but undeniable shift happening.

And THEN (because the cosmos loves a little drama) the skies weaves its magic…Aries season incoming with a fiery punch but dreamy soft and deeply intuitive Pisces New Moon energy is swirling around calling us to think big…

Which basically means: ✔️ you’re feeling everything ✔️ your intuition is LOUD
✔️ you’ll feel like you want to do more!

so this is your moment to tune in.
To you. To your baby. To your rhythm.
This is Maternal Alchemy; feeling and flowing your way into this next version of you.

So we’re not just dreaming right now… We’re dreaming and becoming.

So let’s make this REAL and practical because it’s a moment to bring a little ritual to life.

𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘹 𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 + 𝘣𝘶𝘮𝘱 (𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 + 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘮𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵):

✨Step outside (even if it’s just your doorstep or a window moment) ✨ Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly ✨ Take 3 slow breaths (just soften those shoulders) 
Then ask: “𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏?”

Don’t overthink it just trust what arises.
And if you want to anchor it in, say it out loud (or in your head you can recite: “𝘐 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘐 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺. 𝘐 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦.”

That’s it.

Happy Spring Equinox, gorgeous!

There’s a particular kind of woman who finds her way to my work, and if you’re reading this right now, there’s a good chance you’re her.

I know you.

You’re the woman who wants to feel calm when you think about birth…
but sometimes you wake in the early hours of the morning and your mind quietly wanders into the "what-ifs".

You’re excited about meeting your baby.
You’ve imagined that moment, holding them for the first time and then quickly pulled your thoughts away because it feels almost too big to sit with.
You’re reading things.
Saving posts.
Listening to birth stories while you potter about at home, whilst driving in the car or preparing for this next chapter, trying to gather little pieces of wisdom wherever you can.

And still, underneath it all, there’s a quiet question sitting there.
But what will it actually be like for me?

I know you.

You don’t want someone telling you what to do.
You don’t want to feel silly for asking questions.
And you certainly don’t want birth to feel like something that simply happens to you while everyone else makes the decisions.

You want to feel steady.

Like the woman you are; thoughtful, curious, intuitive and who has a place in the room.

That’s what steady birth support really means.
It means I see the woman behind the due date with moments of hesitation, small flickers of excitement and who also happens to have questions that haven’t quite formed yet.

And together, we create space for you to say,
"This is what matters to me".. because you deserve to feel at the very heart of your own birth story.

Preparation isn’t about control.

Birth is wild.
Ancient.
Unfolding in rhythms far older than us and no woman can control it.

But birth preparation is not about tightening your grip.

It’s about agency and walking into that room:

Understanding your options

Trusting your intuition and your preferences

Knowing your voice matters and practising the words: 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕

So when the moment comes,
you’re not trying to control birth…

You’re simply standing at the centre of it.

Soft in your body.
Clear in your voice.
Held in your power.
