Feel informed. Feel confident. Feel heard.

Preparing for birth isn’t about writing the “perfect” birth plan.
It’s about understanding your options and knowing how to advocate for yourself in the moment.

In this 1:1 session, we will:

• Explore your values and priorities for birth
• Break down common interventions (benefits, risks, alternatives)
• Talk through different scenarios so nothing feels scary or unexpected
• Clarify your rights and choices
• Strengthen your confidence in communicating with your care team
• Create a clear, flexible birth preferences document

This is especially supportive if you:
– Feel overwhelmed by information
– Want to make truly informed decisions
– Struggle with speaking up in medical settings
– Want your partner to feel confident advocating too

You deserve to walk into your birth feeling prepared, not powerless.

📍 Held via Zoom
🕰 90 minutes

Your birth. Your body. Your voice.

Here are some useful questions when meeting/choosing your care provider during pregnancy. Don't be afraid to ask - this is your birth, your baby and choosing your care provider is one of the most important decisions that you will make. If your care provider's answers don't align with yours, it's ok to to change providers.

If you are not lucky enough to be able to access continuity of care, considering a doula is a good idea (ask them all the questions too!)

There are so many signs that indicate progress in labour that aren't dilation!

Dilation shows what a cervix is doing at a point in time - yes, it can show progress but we need to look at the big picture.

Not every woman wants to have a cervical exam in labour - having a healthcare provider who is open to looking at all of the other cues is vital to giving women choice in birth.

Imbolc marks the gradual transition into Springtime.
This season mirrors pregnancy and birth so beautifully.
So much of the work happens quietly, internally, before anything is visible. Trusting the process. Honouring rest. Allowing growth to unfold in its own time.

As an antenatal educator and doula, I see this Imbolc energy in every birthing person I support — the courage to listen inward, the patience to wait, the hope that grows even when things feel slow or uncertain.

May this season remind you:
❤️Your body knows what it’s doing
❤️Preparation can be gentle
❤️You don’t need to rush what is still becoming

Wishing you warmth, softness, and steady light as we move towards spring

So many people just aren't aware that our bodies release their own natural painkillers during labour and birth. I'd love to hear your experience of the amazing endorphins in labour.

Don't forget to tag a friend who might like to know about this.
