Birth With Choice

11/11/2025

If more first-time mums knew how the maternity system really worked, they’d take their birth prep more seriously than their baby shower planning.

Most people assume they’ll be told the full truth about their choices.
But unless you know what to ask, you’ll only ever hear the standard options.

This isn’t about being difficult. It’s about being informed.

Because when you understand how the system works, you stop feeling like a passenger in your own birth and start feeling like the one in charge.

That’s exactly what we cover inside my Group Hypnobirthing & Antenatal Course- the calm, confident version of birth prep that helps you feel ready, not naïve.

💬 Comment GROUP below for all the info on my next in-person course in Lytham, Lancashire.

Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve had parents travel over three hours to join my one-day course.
Was it worth it?
They said they’d “do it again in a heartbeat.”

That first week after birth hits different.

You’re tired, emotional, leaking from at least two places, and wondering why no one told you sitting down would feel like an extreme sport.

So here’s your no-fluff list of things that actually help.
Stuff that keeps you comfortable, clean, and just a little bit sane.

Save this for later (your future self will thank you when you’re googling “why does everything hurt?” at 3 a.m. 🤍)

Postpartum mums what were your essentials one week in??

Pregnant? Post-partum? Somewhere in the middle of “what day is it?”

PSA: some time out for you isn’t a luxury, it’s essential.

Food, friendship, and a room full of women who just get it.

Sometimes you need a night that isn’t about birth plans, feeding schedules, or finding the muslin.
Just a plate of good food, a proper laugh, and a reminder that you’re still you.

Forget the sugar-coated version of birth prep.
This is the real one.

The one that tells you what actually happens inside the system and shows you how to walk in calm, confident, and completely in charge.

You can’t control how birth unfolds.
But you can control how ready you are for it.

My in-person birth prep in Lytham is supportive, informative, and invaluable.
It’s suitable from 20 weeks of pregnancy onwards and gives you the answers you expected from your antenatal appointments but didn’t get.

If that hit home, comment READY and I’ll send you my free masterclass - the one that shows you exactly how to prepare for your birth and the system you’ll give birth in. 🤍

I’m not here to scare you, I’m here to make sure you don’t walk in blind.

You deserve to know how birth really works, what actually helps, and how to stay in control even in a hospital setting.

Prep smart. Birth strong.
Comment BIRTH and I’ll send you a whole week of free prep that will give you a boost of confidence and a tonne of resources!

“Your body knows what to do.”
Sure, but try telling the system that when they’re booking your induction at 40+0 even though you’ve already said no.

Birth prep isn’t about learning how to give birth.
It’s about staying calm, confident and in control when the system starts throwing curveballs.

Because your body does know what to do, you just need to know how to protect its space to do it. ✨

What’s the worst bit of birth advice you were given? Spilll 🫖

Everyone talks about breathing and playlists.
No one talks about the fact you’re more likely to have an intervention than not.

And that’s exactly why your birth prep has to go deeper than calm music and “just go with the flow.”

It’s not about “manifesting calm” or hoping for the best.
It’s about actually understanding what’s going on, so when things change, you still feel calm, confident and in control.

That’s what we do inside my monthly group antenatal course in Lytham.

We talk about what really happens in birth.
How to tell the difference between what’s necessary and what’s just routine.
How to ask questions and advocate for yourself with confidence.
And how to walk away from birth bursting with “I just did that” energy, not feeling broken.

Because birth trauma isn’t always about what happened, it’s about how you were made to feel.
And when you understand your choices, you don’t just survive birth, you shape it and you grow from it.

That’s what I’m seeing with the families I work with.
✨ They’re having spontaneous births that go against the national stats.
✨ They’re saying yes to interventions when they need them (not just because they were told to).
✨ And they’re embracing calm caesarean births that still feel theirs.

🙌🏻 First-time mums rave about this course because it changes how they see birth.
🫶🏻 Second-time mums book months ahead because they get it now.

You deserve to grow from your birth, not heal from it, and that’s exactly what Birth With Choice is here for.

Book your space for November today ♥️

📸 A huge thank you to my October group for letting capture these moments, your smiles and energy say it all.

Had a much needed postnatal massage with Janine today. 🥰

Wherever you are on your pregnancy journey, get yourself booked in and take some time out for you! 🫶🏻🤰🏻

✨️ Csection Scar Recovery and Back Pain Management ✨️

This week is one busy week in clinic with a lot of back pain management and scar tissue massage for csection recovery.

Im looking forward to fixing tummies and backs this week and supporting you all in becoming pain-free, correcting postures, and loosening tight and stuck scar tissue.

My favourite part about these sessions is seeing the progression made as we journey through each session.

We can't remove weeks, months, or years worth of tightness in one session. Now that would be magic ✨️

What we can do is create a plan, have consistency, and do the homework. And if you do this, the results will come.

I only have 3 appointments left for October. If you would like to start your journey, I look forward to welcoming you to clinic 😊

✨ Booking is open for October Bump & Brew✨

Last time, mums told us how much they NEEDED this.
How cosy it felt to just sit with other women who get it.
For so many, it was the first time they’d ventured out alone with their baby and the relief of walking into a room full of “me too” nods was everything.

This isn’t a class, it’s a supportive space for you to exhale, feel held, and fill up your cup.

Whether you’re…
🤍 Pregnant and feeling a little overwhelmed by what’s to come
🤍 A new mum craving connection and reassurance
🤍 Or just ready to start building that “mum village” everyone talks about

- this is for YOU!

And because these evenings have been such a success (we’ve literally run out of room!), we’re moving to a new venue: Lytham Assembly Rooms. Home of my Group Antenatal Courses!

A relaxed evening, a cosy drink in hand, and a circle of mums-to-be and new mums who just get it.

That’s Bump & Brew. 🫶🏻

POV: You prepped for birth and now you’re ✨fearless✨

Most mums walk into labour hoping for calm but end up blindsided when things get intense.

Confidence in birth isn’t luck.
It’s knowing what’s happening in your body, what your options really are, and how to say yes or no without guilt.

That’s exactly why I created The Confident Birth Reset.
It’s a week of my award-winning birth prep - delivered straight to you.
So you can:
🫶🏻 stop nodding along when you’re unsure
🫶🏻 feel proud of the decisions you make
🫶🏻 and walk out of birth with zero regrets

Comment RESET and I’ll DM it straight to you 💌

Because calm, confident, powerful births don’t “just happen”… they’re prepared for. ✨
