✨🕯️One year of Apolline 🕯️✨
I find it hard to put into words just how incredible this night was… ❤️ It really was the most magical way to welcome our daughter into the world, in the comfort of our own home, while her big brothers slept soundly upstairs.

Even one year on, I still feel like I’m floating on cloud nine…and to be honest I don’t think I’ve come down yet from the high of Apolline’s birth! 🙈

I hope you enjoy reading my baby girl’s birth story and that by sharing, I hope it provides comfort to those of you who are currently pregnant!

Thank you to .photography for these photos that we will treasure forever 🙏

And thank you to for your wonderful homebirth service and community midwives!

Tanya’s story really blew me away…the huge difference between her two births really shows the power of Hypnobirthing and preparing the mind for labour 💫 I’m super excited for Tanya to join the Rise & Glow team - she has so much knowledge and insight to share.

Tanya has already started teaching Hypnobirthing classes in Kent this weekend and will be taking over our popular group Hypnobirthing venue in later this year!

You can follow Tanya’s journey and show her your support at 🧡

The truth is, so many talented women do quietly step back from their careers after becoming mothers. It’s not because they lack ambition or ability, but because even in 2026, the system still isn’t designed with them in mind.

I can’t solve this (not today anyway! ☺️), but what I can do is create a little corner of the world that’s free from these inequalities 🌍

This is one of the reasons I’m building something new, on my own terms.

Something designed around real life for women who have families.

Something that supports women at one of the most transformative moments of their lives, while also creating opportunities for other women (like these absolute beauties! 👆👆👆) to build meaningful work themselves.

Motherhood definitely isn’t the end of ambition.
For me, it’s been the catalyst 💥

Happy International Women’s Day to all you amazing women out there making ALL the things happen! ✌️❤️

When I put my out of office on for mat leave, I genuinely thought I’d be back to the grind a year later.

Instead… somewhere between school runs, night feeds and 1am laptop sessions, I decided to quit corporate life and go all-in on my hypnobirthing business - the work that actually lights me up.

I’m definitely not sitting here like I’ve cracked motherhood or business.
I’m a mum of three, very much figuring it out as I go. Some days everything slots into place quasi-perfectly. Some days I’m answering emails while breastfeeding a baby and with somebody’s bodily fluids in my hair 😅

But what hasn’t changed is this:
I care deeply about making birth and postpartum better for women. Less fear. More trust. Real, unwavering support.
That’s the bit that keeps me going (and coffee…lotssss of coffee).

If you’re pregnant right now and just trying to make good decisions without losing your mind, I am here for you! 👏

We don’t have to have it all perfectly mapped out. But sometimes we just need to take the next step.

✨ If you want calm, evidence-based support for your birth, DM me “READY” or tap the link in my bio to join my next course.

I’m collaborating with Bexley & Greenwich MNVP (Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership) to host an online feedback session for families who have planned, had, or are considering a homebirth under:

• Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH)
• Queen Elizabeth Hospital
• Darent Valley Hospital

This is for you if you:
🏡have had a homebirth
🏥 or planned a homebirth but your plans changed
🤰or are currently exploring homebirth as an option

MNVPs exist to gather real experiences from local families and feed them directly back to maternity services. This is how change actually happens…through honest conversations about what’s working, what isn’t, and what families need.

I’ll be there as a service user representative (after my own homebirth last year), because I know how much these conversations matter… and I’d love for you to get involved!

Here are the details:
🗓 Monday 2nd March
⏰ 12:00–13:30
📍 Online (Teams)

Babies, toddlers, lunch, feeding, interruptions and general chaos are all very welcome 🤍

If you’d like to help shape the future of homebirth services in our area (for yourself or for the families coming after you) I’d really love you to join us.

Comment “HOME” and I’ll send you the sign-up link, or head to the link in my bio.

If you’re expecting a “big baby” or having to navigate difficult decisions in your pregnancy, this story is for you!!

Huge congratulations to mama Li-Li, for giving birth to a gorgeous chunky 4.9kg baby (that’s almost 11lb!!) without even a tear! 🧡 Just wow!!

Hearing Li-Li’s experience really reaffirmed to me how absolutely incredible our bodies are, and the importance of preparing your mind for birth.

I hope Li-Li’s story helps you too. You can read her story in full, plus many of my other clients’ stories at ✨www.riseandglowbirths.com/blog✨
