2016! This feels like yesterday and a thousand years ago all at the same time. Honestly a ridiculous amount of my 2016 photo roll is dedicated to cats and vegan food. But it’s wild how few photos I actually took that year. 226! I’m pretty sure I took that many pics in the first week of Theo’s life alone. How times have changed 🥰

Calm birth preparation still matters, but calmness without confidence often isn’t enough.

Preparing for birth today means understanding your body AND the maternity system you’re giving birth in.

It means having tools for relaxation AND guidance for real-life decisions.

A positive birth isn’t about everything going exactly “to plan”. It’s about feeling informed, supported and able to advocate for yourself, whatever path your birth takes 🤍

✨ If you’re preparing for birth and want realistic, supportive guidance alongside hypnobirthing tools, this is exactly what we focus on in my classes.

My upcoming sessions are nearly full, so if you’ve been thinking about joining, now’s a great time to reach out.

Save this for later, share with someone preparing for birth, or message me if you’d like more information 🤍

If birth feels really big and overwhelming right now, I want you to know that nothing has gone wrong. You’re not behind. You’re not failing at being calm.

It’s completely normal for excitement, fear, curiosity and uncertainty to all exist at the same time.

You don’t need to have all the answers today.

What does help is feeling supported, informed and safe. Emotionally AND physically. Birth feels less overwhelming when you understand what’s happening in your body and know how to stay calm through it.

One small thing you can try today…
Place one hand on your tummy, take one slow breath (in through your nose, out through your mouth) and remind yourself: I don’t have to do this all at once.

You are allowed to take birth preparation one gentle step at a time 🤍

✨ Save this for the days it feels heavy
✨ Share with someone who might need it
✨ And if you’d like support preparing calmly and confidently for birth, my antenatal and hypnobirthing classes are open for booking now - message me for details 🤍

Would you feel prepared, calm and excited? Or anxious, scared and nervous?

How you feel when you go into labour can have a huge impact on how labour progresses. When labour starts, if you are fearful, that has an impact on your nervous system and your whole body. We become tense when we’re scared and our muscles can’t work as efficiently (which is super important because the uterus is a muscle!).

If you feel calm and in control, your body can relax and the labour hormones can flow freely.

Get in touch to find out how I can work with you to help adjust your birth mindset. You deserve to feel calm, prepared and excited - you’re going to meet your baby soon! 🤩

Good birth preparation is about understanding what’s available to you, knowing how maternity care works and feeling confident making decisions along the way.

The Confident Birth Course is modern antenatal education designed to help you understand your options, navigate today’s maternity system and approach birth feeling calm, informed and supported.

This is comprehensive preparation, combining evidence-based information with practical tools that support your body, mind and nervous system.

No fear-mongering. No fluff.

Just honest guidance for real births, in the real world.

🤍 Because confidence comes from knowing what’s happening - and knowing you have choices.

✨ Feeling calm about birth matters - but so does knowing how to navigate the system you’re walking into ✨

Birth doesn’t happen in an ideal system, it happens in a busy one. And feeling calm, informed and heard matters more than ever.

• Preparing to care for your baby in the early days, including a dedicated infant feeding class.

This in-person, small-group antenatal preparation is for people who want to understand their options, advocate for themselves and feel confident walking into birth, whatever path it takes.

💛 LAUNCH OFFER £75 off the full course when you book before 16th January (Founding cohort · limited spaces)

Preparing for birth doesn’t mean doing everything at once.
It’s the small, consistent steps that build confidence, calm and trust in your body.

Which one of these will you try this week?

These small steps are exactly what we build on in my Hypnobirthing Masterclass: learning how birth works, practising calm techniques and building real confidence for labour.

My upcoming classes are nearly fully booked, so if you’re thinking about joining, now’s the time 🤍

Message me or check the link in my bio for details.

✨ Is 2026 the year you’re going to meet your baby? ✨

You don’t need to start the New Year feeling anxious, worried and scared about what’s to come.

You can kick start 2026 with a whole new outlook on labour and birth and arm yourself with a new set of skills that will leave you feeling empowered to navigate your birth experience with confidence, calmness and JOY!

Meeting your new baby for the first time should be something you’re excited about, not something to dread.

If you want to join me on 11th January, just drop me a message. I can’t wait to see your confidence grow in front of me! 🥰

Books and online courses can be great for learning the basic principles of hypnobirthing, but nothing compares to a face to face course with a properly trained instructor.

Just like we have practical lessons for driving, playing musical instruments, swimming, gymnastics, etc., hypnobirthing also has so many practical elements that are best delivered with one to one guidance from a trained professional.

There are still a couple of spaces left on my January Masterclass (11th Jan) - get in touch asap if you’re thinking about booking!

Here is your annual reminder that Christmas is NOT a reason for induction!

These statistics speak volumes don’t they?! Your baby does not have a calendar in there and they don’t know Bank Holidays are a thing, so the dips in births on these three days of the year can only be for one reason… hospital staffing levels are lower on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, and people are having their labours induced with the aim of giving birth on a ‘more convenient’ day.

Induction of labour is a medical procedure that carries risks like any other. It’s not a decision that should be made lightly without knowing all the possible implications, and certainly not simply for convenience.

If you are fully informed of the possible pros and cons and you still choose to go ahead with induction, that’s great! Only you know what is right for you and your family. The key is being armed with all the information needed to make an informed decision 🤍
