It's my birthday today. I'm 38, though I always need to work it out.

Here's some things on my heart.

Today, like every day, I pray;
For my beloved husband, my beautiful children, and my loved ones. My dear family and friends.

For the people of Palestine; that their suffering will come to an end and that their perpetrators will come to justice.

That the evils in this world are stopped and that karma runs its course. That justice is served.

For an end to the genocides; Gaza, Sudan, Congo.

I pray
That fascism, racism and colonialism ends.

That exploitation ends.

That misogyny ends.

I pray
For all the families across the world.

For anyone who is suffering.

For anyone who is being oppressed.

I pray
That we all live in honour of our beloved Mother.

For all the mothers and children; that they may live together in safety and peace.

That mothers and babies may be born in love.

For the women and girls; that violence against them may end. For the men and boys; that they hold not harm.

For the fathers; that they may live in respect and integrity.

I pray
That all souls find peace, and we can exist in love and devotion to one another.

That we are no longer violent and destructive, but that we live in humility, kindness and compassion for one another.

I pray
That we fight for what we believe and for what is right, in strength and courage, no matter how hard or uncomfortable it may feel.

For freedom of expression, for safety for all, and community in the face of increasing state control.

I pray
For all souls, in the whole of creation.
That they come back home, to love and peace.

Amen.

A most gorgeous testimonial from a most gorgeous mama 💜

We've worked together over the course of a few years, and this has felt particularly special - to witness you move through many different phases and blossom with each new wave.

Thank you, for inviting me in to your life in this vulnerable, intimate way.

What an honour this work is 🕊️🌹

P.s. I've got space for one more person for my live Birth at Peace mentorship course, before I go on a break. DM me if you wanna chat further xx

Still here. Still going.
The world is still burning.
Israel still committing genocide.
Our government still supporting it.
Racists still lining the streets.

Check on your black and brown skinned friends.
Are they okay?

I joined 'Our Party' today, became a member.
The only party with any chance of humanity; the rest are corrupt, evil bastards.

Reform, not in my name.
Reform your own arse mate.
No ingurland flag flying over here.

Double standards from the police.
Grannies arrested for holding a sign,
meanwhile thugs allowed to spout hate and set fire to buildings.

The massacre continues, nearly 2yrs on.
7th October. My birthday.

Toddlers with their guts hanging out.
Charred.
Bodies torn to shreds.

You think this doesn't affect us, 'safe at home'? You think we've not all had some hand in this, over the years, down the line?

Evil knows no bounds.

We're all being pushed in to tiny, measurable, controllable boxes.
Only the thing is, you can't put love, truth and the wild in to a box.

Light will always prevail.
In the meantime, we fight for what is right.

Off to put stickers on lampposts with the kids.

Beautiful words from a beautiful mama ❤️

Witnessing you and holding space for you (both), preparing to welcome your first baby - it's been so inspiring to see you navigate the excitement and the challenges along the way!

Diving deep in to your why, and having space and time to ask questions and explore your answers ✨

🕊️ Birth at Peace is my signature birth prep mentorship programme. Aimed at homebirth/freebirthing families, though for anyone who feels the call.

Birth prep is so, so much more than just making a birth plan.

Thank you for inviting me in ✨

I think most of us find it quite difficult to switch off from things.

As women and mothers, our to-do lists are long and never ending. It can be really difficult sometimes to make and take the space, whilst those lists are still hanging over.

How can that affect labour?

Sometimes we have a hook to the world that is still keeping us in our thinking brain and we may find it difficult to drop deep in the labour-land (the space where we are leading from our bodies, from instinct, from intuition).

Mind chatter can be loud in every day life, and without practise to quieten it, can be mega loud in birth.

(This applies for anyone supporting birth too! Your thoughts can be deafening!)

🕊️ So, what are you doing to make space so you can drop deep in to labour?

You could:
-Meditate and practise harnessing your mind
-Create a plan so you know important jobs will be taken care of
-Take time for nourishing activities even when the housework is incomplete
-Invest in secure childcare options for little ones (where appropriate)
-Explore and express boundaries ahead of time, so you feel safe to metaphorically/literally close the doors to the world

What do you do to practise switching off?

**update**

I have some news to share.

I need to step away from working with families in this way.
My last day, before at least a long-ish break, will be December 6th 2025.

My heart and soul is forever entwined with this work, and I don't think this break will be forever.

My family need more of me 💜
And having experienced extreme burnout in the past, I'm recognising the signs and not ignoring the niggles.

I am entering in to a period of rebirth, letting something old die and will be back afresh at some point.

All existing commitments still stand, and I will continue to give my quality support to families 💜

Groups/events until Dec 6th, see last slide.

All bookings and more information in my linktree, as always xx
