When you’re upright or moving, you’re working with your body.

Gravity helps your baby move down.
Your pelvis has more space to open.
Your baby can rotate more easily into a position that works for birth.
When you’re on your back, all of that can become harder.

Your sacrum can’t move as freely.
The weight of your baby is distributed differently.
And your body is working against gravity instead of with it.

This is why things like:

* leaning forward
* being on all fours
* using a birth ball
* standing, swaying, lunging
* getting in the shower or bath

can make a difference.

Not because they’re magic positions.
Just because they give your body space to do what it’s already trying to do.

You might have heard of Spinning Babies. Their whole approach is based on how positioning and movement can help your baby get into a more optimal position for birth.

It’s not about forcing anything.
It’s about creating the conditions for things to work more easily.

And then there’s intuitive movement.

This is the bit people don’t talk about enough.
In labour, your body will often guide you.
You might feel like you want to move, sway, lean, shift position.

That’s not random.
That’s your body responding to what’s happening and helping your baby move.
And if your body tells you to lie on your back at some point?
That’s fine. Listen to it.

This isn’t about banning any position.
It’s about not being put on your back just because it’s routine or convenient.

A lot of people end up on their backs because:

* it’s standard practice
* it’s easier for monitoring
* or no one’s told them they’ve got other options

You don’t need to memorise loads of positions.
You just need to know you’re allowed to move.

That alone can change a lot.

You don’t need to wait until labour to start using this.

These mats are for pregnancy too.
Resting. Stretching. Getting into positions that actually feel good on your body instead of fighting it.

Alix is using it here for upright and forward-leaning positions because they support baby’s positioning, take pressure off your back, and give your body space to do its thing.

But also... sometimes you just want to lie down without feeling like your hips are being personally attacked by the floor.

These are super practical.
Grippy. Comfortable. Easy to move around. Something you’ll actually use, not shove in a cupboard.

And full transparency... we’ve got a lot of them to shift before we move office and we really can’t be arsed to pack them all up

So they’re currently £20.50 with free shipping.

If you’ve been thinking about one, now’s a good time to grab it.

Use it in pregnancy.
Use it in labour.
Use it postpartum when you’re sat on the floor wondering how your life got this chaotic.
Sit baby on it to play and a toddler on it to nap.

They’re simple. They work. And they make a difference.

You’ll also get a FREE Movement for Pregnancy and Birth course alongside it.

This is a picture of Jade’s placenta that she grew during her pregnancy with River.

And yeah, it was huge. The lovely and .doula can attest to that.

But beyond the size, placentas are doing some serious work.

Your body grows this entire organ from scratch in pregnancy.

It:

* transfers oxygen and nutrients
* removes waste
* produces hormones that keep pregnancy going
* supports your baby’s immune system

And then after your baby is born, you still have the placenta to birth. That’s the third stage of labour, and it’s something a lot of people aren’t properly told about.

There are a few different ways this can happen.

Physiological third stage means you wait for your body to birth the placenta on its own. No routine drugs, just letting your body do its thing. It can take a bit longer than may be wanted by others, but that doesn’t automatically mean soemthing isn’t right.

Active management is where you’re given an injection to help your uterus contract, and the placenta is delivered with support from your care provider. This is often quicker, and it’s what’s routinely offered in hospital.

But routine doesn’t automatically mean necessary.

If you’ve had a straightforward birth and you and your baby are well, it doesn’t mean you have to have active management just because it’s the standard approach. Routine care and normal physiology aren’t always the same thing.

Then there’s a middle ground. You can start off waiting for a physiological third stage, and if things aren’t progressing or you change your mind, you can move to active management.

None of these options are automatically better than the others.

What matters is that you actually know they exist, and that you get to make a decision based on what feels right for you and your situation.

It’s a comb. That’s it.

And yet… it works.

Birth combs use gate control theory, which is just a fancy way of saying your brain can only focus on so much sensation at once. When you squeeze the comb into your hand during a contraction, it gives your brain something else to process. For a lot of people, that takes the edge off the intensity.

They’re simple, portable, and you can use them literally anywhere. At home in early labour, in the car, in hospital corridors, sat waiting for a room, waiting for a pool to fill, waiting for anything. You don’t need the perfect setup to cope with contractions. You can still do something.

We’ve sold thousands of these and the feedback is always the same. People don’t expect much from something so small, and then end up using it constantly.

They’re £5. No big investment, no complicated technique. Just something practical you can have in your hand when things start to ramp up.

We won’t be running any more hypnobirthing teacher training intakes this year, and realistically, probably not next year either.

Life is just a bit full on.

Between school transitions (primary and secondary in both our houses across the next two years), family stuff, and other big changes behind the scenes, we know we can’t give the training the time and energy it deserves.

And we’re not willing to do it half-heartedly.

So this intake is the one.

If you’ve been thinking about training with us, this is your chance to do it before we press pause for a while.

You can get started right away with the online modules, then come together live in June on Zoom.

What’s the one thing you were absolutely convinced you’d never do in labour… and then did anyway?

Be honest.

The noises?
The positions?
The “don’t touch me… actually don’t leave me”?

Labour has a way of humbling us real quick. And most of the time, it’s because we go into it without really knowing what our body might need, or how to work with it instead of fighting it.

That’s where hypnobirthing comes in.

Not the fluffy, sit-on-a-yoga-mat kind. The kind that actually helps you stay grounded, cope with intensity, and feel a bit more in control when things ramp up.

The stuff that has you asking the relevant questions and getting the information you need to formulate a plan that works for you and makes you feel genuinely excited to birth your baby.

We’re running a free taster session this Thursday where we’ll show you exactly how Birth Prep works and how it can support you in labour.

No pressure. No weird vibes. Just proper, useful tools you can actually use.

Come and see what it’s all about.

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.

What is Hypnobirthing

Giving birth is an incredible empowering experience. You’ve grown this whole new person from scratch and can’t wait to see their little face for the first time. But before that life changing moment you’ve got to give birth. You are not alone if this thought fills you with anxiety and thoughts of women laying on their backs screaming.... HOWEVER I’m here to tell you that doesn't have to be your reality. Through series of techniques aimed at dismantling your fear and showing you what a badass you really are, you can have a positive birth that you’ll harp on about for years.

And don’t worry, at no point am I going to align you’re chakkra or tell you your va**na is going to open up like a flower (because it won’t) I’m a science kind of women, so you’ll get fact, science and a sprinkling of girl power!

You’ve got this! And I can’t wait to tell you why!!!
