Your birth preparation can look like anything...

I had these gorgeous biscuits made with a few of my favourite affirmations on ❤️

Not only was this something delicious to eat, but it was completely personal...

They were my favourite affirmations, also my favourite colours AND biscuit type... shortbread 🙂

When you complete a hypnobirthing course, you really tune into what works for you as an individual which can make a WORLD of difference to your whole experience.

I've had couples:

🌟 Getting family and friends to record messages of love, affirmations and/or scripts so that they can be heard in the birthing environment 🙂

🌟 Prep their favourite meals

🌟 Download favourite stand-up comedians

🌟 Get Cameo recordings of favourite artists

🌟 Even prep tracks of each other sleep talking because it cracks them up!

And SO much more... all oxytocin fuelling activity to bring that little one into your arms 👶🏼

Do you remember what you did that was personal to you?

I'd love to hear it 🤩

How gorgeous is this??! ❤️❤️❤️

If anyone knows the artist do tag them or let me know to give credit where it is due!

Hot off the press 🎟

As I prep for my next group course tickling across March and April I realised it's been a LONG time since I've mentioned these beauties 😉

A GORGEOUS past client of mine got in touch to let me know that their close family friend is pregnant, and they knew immediately what they wanted to get them...

A gift voucher for a course with me ❤️🥰

Such a wonderful, thoughtful gift to provide them with the maximum chances of having a positive birth experience and consistency of care throughout their pregnancy and beyond.

Although typically after moving house I couldn't find the vouchers so had some more printed 😉

So I guess this is a message to all my past Bold Birthers. If you are stuck for a gift for your pregnant family member or friend, just know you can contribute towards or buy a course with me at any stage.

AND if you are pregnant and thinking "Ug. Finances are tight right now..." then rustle up friends and family to help out (besides... the baby probably won't like using the changing table anyway 😉🤣)

Sweet dreams lovelies!

"This quote resonates for so many people around the world. I was very frustrated when I first said it almost 9 years ago - and unnecessary medicalisation of childbirth is causing more harm now than ever before.

Childbirth is not a problem to solve.
It is a process to understand.

I think we are entering an era where respect for women, babies, childbirth and optimal health can be restored. Finally.

Let’s do that together."

Ok this was one I couldn't let slide...

Jumping on the AI caricature trend with my hypnobirthing classes taking place outside in my dream location - full Lord of the Rings styley!

And of course all being quality checked by the horses and cats 🤣

Wish my balloons and ping pong balls looked like that though!

Hello Bold Birthers 💛

Over the past few months I’ve been quietly exploring the future of antenatal and postnatal education and care within Bold Birthing. It’s exciting work… but it only works if it’s shaped by the people it’s for (you!)

So I’m creating a research-based group within the Bold Birthing WhatsApp community 📲
A space for questions, surveys, shared experiences, and honest insight, all aimed at understanding what truly supportive, empowering antenatal and postnatal education and care looks like.

If you’ve ever wanted your voice, experiences, or opinions to help shape the future of Bold Birthing, this is that invitation 🎟️✨

💬 Say “yes” below or send me a D-M and I’ll share the group link with you 😊

2025 softened me.

It stripped me back.

And in the quiet, I remembered who I am.

As the year of the horse begins, I am choosing forward motion that does not abandon tenderness.

Still here.
Still breathing.
Still bound to this work.

Trot on lovelies 🐎

Merry Christmas you lovely lot 🎄

Before the evening draws to a close (and now the kids are asleep with jumbo smiles on their faces) I wanted to wish you all festive love ❤️

Thank you to all the phenomenal families who have welcomed me into your homes and hearts this year.

I am forever humbled to be part of your baby's journeys in this world and in awe of your persistence, strength, and determination to have the right birth on the day for you and your baby.

For those who arrived in 2025 I hope you had a glorious 1st Christmas together ❤️

We've got some changes happening over here at Bold Birthing HQ, so I can't wait to catch up in the New Year ✨️

Lots of birthy love,

OK... I fully admit I haven't taught any dad or birth partner this technique... 🤔🤣... YET!
