So sad to hear the news that Marie Mongan has passed away. She inspired me and so many other women to prepare for a calm and positive birth and led me on the path to teach her wonderful course to others. Her memory and legacy will certainly live on

It was a quiet moment in time, no movement, no breath, as they gazed at one another through two worlds. As they eased her face into The World, they remained silent, staring at her. Forever changed! Thank you for being an amazing and intuitive Doula!

CATHERINE, the Duchess of Cambridge, is a hypnobirther who uses techniques including self-hypnosis and visualisation during labour, leaving her ready to appear before the world’s media looking fresh faced and camera ready just seven hours after giving birth.

Amen! Labour is hard work! But it is also power, strength and determination!

✨👊🏻✨💪🏼✨🙌🏻✨
What do you see here?

Pain or Power?

What would you do if you saw a women looking like this?

Rush to her assistance? Offer an epidural?

No, you would stand back, humbled at her raw, unapologetic power and strength.

You would bow down to these goddesses whose bodies are pushed beyond all limits and still go on.

You would be inspired by their force and awed by their determination.

A woman in labour doesn’t need to be rescued, no more than the marathon runner, the triathlete or weight lifter. She needs to be prepared and supported so that she can achieve greatness. "Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them." .

Thank you to Diana at for her 'Roaring Goddess' photo xo.

Fantastic video demonstrating how beneficial it is to be upright and active during labour and birth! Use gravity to help baby manoeuvre through the pelvis!

A few worried supporters sent us the link to a Daily Mirror article this morning, which is about baby movement. Despite it containing some accurate information, there were also elements that were completely untrue or very easy to misinterpret, including this. Please, please remember that babies don't slow down because they are getting bigger or ready for labour, a baby should remain in their normal pattern of movement up to and even during labour. If your baby's movement slows down or stops always speak to your midwife or maternity unit.
