You’ve probably heard the word hypnobirthing before… but if you’re picturing whale music and being told to “just relax”, yeah… that’s not what we do.

Our free taster sessions have been running for years, and honestly, they’re the bit where things start to click for people.

You’ll learn:
• what hypnobirthing actually is (and what it isn’t)
• how your body works in labour
• what your options are within the maternity system
• how to start feeling a bit more in control of your birth

And maybe most importantly…

You get a feel for us.

Because let’s be real, this stuff only works if you actually vibe with the people teaching it.

We’re not here to sugar-coat birth or pretend everything’s perfect.
But we are here to help you understand it, question things, and feel more confident walking into it.

People often leave these sessions saying they feel lighter. Clearer. Like, “oh… maybe I do have more say in this than I thought.”

If you’re currently feeling a bit like you’ve got no options… this is your sign to come along.

No pressure. No commitment. Just solid, evidence-based info and a proper insight into what we’re about.

This book is one I wish more people knew about.

Not just parents.
Friends. Partners. Family.

Because when someone has had a traumatic birth, it’s not always obvious what to say or do. And “at least you’ve got a healthy baby” just doesn’t cut it.

Birth Shock by .scotland breaks it down in a way that actually makes sense.

It covers:
• why birth can be experienced as traumatic (even when everything “looks fine” on paper)
• what that trauma can feel like afterwards
• practical ways to cope and process it
• what support is available, both inside and outside the NHS

It’s honest, validating and it gives you something to actually do instead of just sitting there thinking “sh*t, I don’t know how to help.”

If someone you love is struggling after their birth experience, this is a really good place to start.

And if that someone is you… you’re not broken. Your experience matters. And support is out there.

Go and grab a copy.

It’s one of those books that should be on more shelves than it is.

Hypnobirthing teacher training is back… and this one fits around your actual life.

No travelling.
No weekends away.
No trying to make everything else in your world stop just so you can train.

You can do this from home.

Start with the modules in April, then join us live on Zoom June 20th and 27th to bring it all together and get you ready to actually go out and teach.

Now, quick heads up on payments because we’re doing things a bit differently this time.

If you want to use the 3 month payment plan, the deadline to book is April 19th.

That gives enough time for all payments to be completed before the live training starts, which is non-negotiable for us now. We had a lot of issues in 2025 with missed payments and as a business we just can’t carry that again.

So:

£999 total
Or split into 3
£299 deposit + 2 payments of £350

Everything paid before June.

Also… £99 off if you book before the end of March. We’ll take it straight off your deposit or full payment.

If you’ve been thinking about this for a while, this is probably your moment.

Hypnobirthing isn’t fluffy nonsense … it’s backed by science.
Research shows it can reduce fear, boost confidence, and even cut down on pain relief and labour length.

It’s not about chasing a perfect birth. It’s about being calm, confident, and in control no matter what happens.

This conversation makes people uncomfortable.

I get it.

If you’re a Black or Brown woman who had brilliant care, you might read this and think, that wasn’t my experience. And that’s important. Truly.

But…..

Systemic racism doesn’t require every individual to be racist. It doesn’t require someone to say something offensive. It often hides inside “policy” and “risk categories”.

If you’re recommended induction at 39 weeks purely because of your ethnicity, without a personalised conversation about you, your health, your history, your preferences… that isn’t individualised care. That’s a blanket decision based on race.

And when race alone drives intervention, that’s racism. Even if the intention is to reduce harm.

We can hold two truths at once:

Some Black and Brown women feel well cared for.
And the system still produces unequal outcomes.

Talking about it isn’t anti-midwife.
It isn’t anti-NHS.
It isn’t dramatic.

It’s about autonomy.
It’s about informed choice.
It’s about not reducing people to statistics.

If you work in maternity care, this is about listening without defensiveness.

If you’re pregnant, this is about knowing you are allowed to ask:

Is this recommendation based on me as an individual?
Or a category I’ve been placed in?

Let’s have the conversation properly.

🧠✨ A drop of breast milk… in the nose?
Science says it might help protect the brain!!!

A newly published clinical study explored intranasal administration of fresh mother’s breast milk for babies with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).

HIE is a serious condition caused by reduced oxygen and blood flow to the brain around the time of birth and is a major cause of neonatal mortality and long-term neurological disability.

Researchers investigated whether giving a small amount of fresh breast milk into the nose could be safe and feasible for these infants.

Here’s what they did:

• Fresh mother’s milk expressed within 4 hours was used
• 0.4 mL was placed in each nostril
• Given twice daily starting within the first 48 hours of life
• Continued until day 28

The results from the clinical study showed:
✔ The treatment was feasible in both the NICU and at home
✔ It was well tolerated with no adverse events reported
✔ Parents were able to safely continue the therapy after discharge

Why might this work?
Breast milk contains stem cells, neurotrophic factors, growth factors, immune cells, and anti-inflammatory compounds that may support brain repair and neurodevelopment.

The intranasal route is particularly interesting because it may allow substances to reach the brain through pathways connected to the nasal cavity, potentially bypassing the blood-brain barrier.

This early clinical study mainly demonstrated safety and feasibility. Larger studies are still needed to determine whether it improves long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. Still, it highlights something remarkable!!
Human milk is not just nutrition. It’s biologically active medicine.

Science is still uncovering just how powerful it can be. 🧬

Everyone talks about the hospital bag.

Lists. Videos. “Essentials.”
You end up packing half your house just in case.

And then labour happens… and most of it never leaves the bag.

The extra outfit.
The fancy snacks.
The ten different toiletries.
The stuff someone on the internet swore you had to bring.

So tell us.

What did you pack in your hospital bag that you never even touched?

And on the flip side… what did you bring that you were really glad you had?

Your answers genuinely help other parents figure out what’s actually useful and what’s just clutter.

Drop it in the comments.

If you want a really practical list that cuts through the nonsense, comment BIRTH BAG PREP and we’ll send you our hospital bag checklist.

The TBU birth ball is one of the cheapest things you can buy in pregnancy that actually makes a difference.
It keeps you upright, forward and open. It helps ease back and pelvic pain. It stops the sofa slump. And in labour it becomes your little safe haven for rocking, bouncing and getting through contractions with way more comfort.

Ours is reinforced, explode proof and holds up to 250kg, so you can trust it to support you through pregnancy, birth and the newborn chaos after.

It even comes with our Movement for Pregnancy and Birth course included in the price so you know exactly how to use it from day one.

Comment UFO to get the link to buy yours. Just fifteen quid and worth every penny. It even comes with a pump.

Birth isn’t something your body needs to be rescued from.
It’s something your body already knows how to do.

Movement helps that process.
Swaying. Circling your hips. Leaning forward. Getting upright.

When you move, your baby can move.
Your pelvis creates space.
Your body stays relaxed instead of tense.

One of the easiest ways to support this is with a birth ball.

You can sit on it, lean over it, circle your hips, rest between contractions, and stay upright while your body does its thing. It’s simple but it can make a big difference to comfort and progress.

Our birth balls come in two sizes, 65cm and 75cm, and they include a FREE movement course so you actually know what to do with it during labour.

Induction gets talked about like it’s a simple next step.

“Let’s just book you in.”
“It’s safer not to wait.”
“Most people do it.”

But induction isn’t neutral. It changes the rhythm of how labour starts and unfolds.

When labour begins on its own, your body releases a careful mix of hormones that build gradually. With induction, that process is started artificially, which can mean stronger contractions, more monitoring, and sometimes a quicker move into other interventions.

That doesn’t mean induction is wrong. Sometimes it’s exactly the right call.

What matters is whether you were actually given a choice.

That means understanding:

Why it’s being recommended for you
What the benefits and risks are
What your alternatives might be
What could happen if you wait

Real decision making needs information and time to think. Not pressure in a ten minute appointment.

If you want a really clear way to weigh up decisions during pregnancy and birth, we’ve put together a simple guide you can use for things like induction, monitoring, and other interventions.

Comment clarity to get the link to our decision making guide for pregnancy and birth.

Sometimes girls just need to buy 3 lamps and a hippo bowl to get them ready for a driving test (which we will not be disclosing the date of)

This has jacksh*t to do with birth. But we do do other things. And that includes buying stuff we don’t need.

Enjoy
