A good friend (and local GP) is collecting information about the 6-8 week check. She is hoping to use feedback from women and birthing people to improve the experience at this essential post-birth appointment.

If you're local to West Hampstead and could drop in to the Sherriff Centre on Wednesday to provide your input, that would be so helpful.

This online event is taking place tomorrow and it would be great to have more families participate. This is a chance to share your experience of postnatal infant feeding support within the Royal Free Trust. Your insight and experience will help shape future planning about how best to enable women and birthing people to have a positive experience of feeding their newborns. Please do sign up if you are available tomorrow morning between 10-11am (babies and children are welcome to be present).

It's been a while since I've posted a birth story (mainly because I've been on maternity leave for the past year!). So I'm thrilled to share the story of Levi's birth: it's wonderful. I am so excited to start teaching again next week!

Eleni and Ben were participants on a course I taught back in March 2019. I am so thrilled that Eleni has sent me her birth story now: as I get ready to begin teaching again after my own maternity leave, her words have reminded me why I love my job so much. It really is such an honour to work with pa...

I'm so thrilled to be posting this lovely birth story from Catalina. She attended a group hypnobirthing course in September and utilised all the skills and techniques as she welcomed her second baby.

This story fills me with such happiness. Catalina got in touch with me via Facebook, seeking an antenatal course that would prepare her for her second baby. Fr

Elsa and Carl attended my November group hypnobirthing course and were a brilliant couple to work with. Elsa's story below is so detailed and informative: she

A lovely client, Ellie, sent me her birth story last night and I was so excited to put it on my blog. She and her husband, Drew, were first time parents who completely embraced hypnobirthing. I loved getting to know them on the November group course and I so enjoyed reading the story of Phoebe's birth!

I have a few spaces left on the next group course, in May, for anyone who would like to learn the techniques and acquire the mindset to approach birth with confidence and excitement.

Ellie and Drew attended the November group hypnobirthing course and I so enjoyed getting to know them. They were curious, open, communicative and so keen to ga

I was so happy to hear from Emily that her daughter had arrived! It's so important to share birth stories that cover all types of birth. Emily was induced and had a very positive experience. I would love to share a positive caesarian birth story if any of my ex-clients would consider sending me theirs???

It's that time of the year when lots of birth stories start coming in! I was so happy to hear from Emily that she had her baby, Dora, a couple of weeks ago. Emi...

After being told her body would never go into labor on its own - it did. After being told most, young, first time moms don’t make it without pain meds - she did. After being told baby may be too big to birth vaginally - she did. Her body is not broken and she is strong.

“I love you so much.” She told him over and over again once he was finally in her arms.
