I help mothers show up for their labour/birth with confidence, even if they secretly feel overwhelmed

What it’s like to be a 3rd generation birth doula....

Women supporting women has been the norm since the beginning of time, & especially in the birth space

It’s so great now that dads are also in the birth space (really only in the last 50 years), & doulas definitely help make the whole experience less scary for birth partners too

My name is Bonnie & I’ve been supporting families for 24 years, both in Tasmania & now in Perth, Australia but I support couples all over the world virtually

I show up here to encourage you as you prepare for birth

Love, your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎

There is SO much admin involved in being pregnant

You’d think growing an entire human would be enough to be getting on with 🤩

You’re probably also making appointments, sorting through what you need for the baby, birth prep, trying to wrap your head around maternity leave & replying to all the people asking how you’re feeling 🫠

So this is your reminder that you’re allowed to make life a little smaller for a while

Leave the message until tomorrow

Say no to the thing because you just don’t feel like going

Put your feet up without finding something productive to do at the same time

Hand something over to someone else

Turn your phone off

Sit outside

Spend ten minutes thinking about your baby instead of everything you need to get done before they arrive

Because there will ALWAYS be another thing you could be doing

But you’re also in this strange little window of time where your baby is still tucked up inside you

And one day, they won’t be

You don't have to spend the whole of your pregnancy getting ready for what's next

You're allowed to actually be here for it too

Love, your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎

One of the things I talk about a lot with my clients is having something you're in charge of that you can actually DO when a contraction starts

When you're pregnant, it’s really hard to imagine what this labour is going to feel like (& this is true even if you've given birth before - every labour is different)

You can practise breathing & positions now, (& I encourage you to) but you don’t really know what you’re going to like until you’re feeling those contractions

Maybe you’ll love your TENS

Maybe you’ll want to move constantly

Maybe you’ll find one position & refuse to move from it

Maybe the thing you thought you’d love will annoy the absolute life out of you 😂

I know you’ll find your way but you need ideas of what you can DO before you start

I teach this kind of practical prep every single day to pregnant women & right now I’ve put all three of my birth courses together into one Birth Bundle for $67 USD, so if you’re getting closer to birth & thinking I really need to get myself ready for this, I’d love to help you

Comment BUNDLE & I’ll send you the link

Love your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎

You're in the final days/weeks of pregnancy, & probably feeling ALL the things

Excited to meet your baby. Nervous about birth. Uncomfortable. Impatient. And possibly very, very ready to not be pregnant anymore!

But mumma, don’t forget to take a moment & soak it all in; you're pregnant, you're carrying brand new life. This is the most amazing thing

Yes, the weight you’re carrying (physically, emotionally, mentally) can feel heavy, but it won’t last much longer

Soon, you’ll be holding your beautiful newborn in your arms. & while you may be ready for the next chapter, don’t be surprised if you miss these moments of pregnancy (I know I do - thankfully I'm around pregnant mums on a daily basis so I get to live the incredibleness of it all through them)

You’re about to step into one of the most transformative times of your life

You’ve carried your baby, you've nurtured them, you've prepared for this

You’re so close now

The days may feel long, but soon, they’ll feel long in a different way as you hold your little one & get to know what they want & need from you

Hang in there, mumma

You’re right where you need to be 🫶

With love, your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎

Ps. I share daily encouragement here on insta, follow me Bonnie Walker • Birth Coach & Doula Mentor & let's get you ready for a great birth

Pregnant mum,

I know that you'd probably like to set aside more time each day to preparing for labour, but I also know that life is busy, & sometimes all you can manage is a quick 10-min session

So, with this plan, you're going to be well prepped & making the most out of those 10 mins (focusing on both the physical & mindset prep)

Then, when those first contractions start, you’ll feel calm, confident, & ready, rather than overwhelmed & underprepared

If you'd like the Positive Birth Video Links I mention in this post, comment "2mins" & I'll send them to you (or if instagram is glitching you can also find the link in my bio under Free Downloads)

Love, your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎

Pregnant already? You may not realise that this pressure is coming!

Know someone who’s just found out? Send it to her before she announces

Birth prep isn't just managing contractions when they come, it's also preparing for the decisions, pressure, uncertainty & noise that comes before labour

The more of that you’ve thought through beforehand, the less you’re trying to figure out for the first time when you’re tired, emotional or in labour

If that’s the kind of birth prep you’re looking for, DM me PREP & tell me how many weeks pregnant you are. I’ll point you towards the best way I can help

Love, your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎

Women now find out they’re pregnant earlier than ever before

But that also means we start thinking about everything that could happen in birth much earlier too

I’m so interested to hear; did knowing earlier make you feel more prepared…
or more worried?

Love, your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎

P.S. I’ve given birth 5 times myself, & for the past 23 years I’ve had the honour of supporting other families through birth too

Pregnant mums are great at preparing for the practical side of having a baby

They sort the cot & pram & fold the tiny clothes carefully into drawers

But there’s another kind of prep that doesn't get the same attention...

What attention are you paying to the thoughts that come up when you start thinking about birth?
..the questions you’re not quite sure who to ask after you've been to an appointment?
..the times of doubt or worry when you wonder how this labour is actually going to go?

Pregnant women DO have these thoughts, they just often don’t have a place to talk about them

Over the years I’ve noticed how powerful it is when a mum has someone she can sit with & say “Can I ask you something about birth?” with someone who understands it deeply

That kind of support means pregnant women feel so much steadier, more informed & a whole lot more capable as they prep for birth

If you’re pregnant & wishing you had someone to talk these things through with, you can learn more about my birth coaching by sending me the word COACH 🤎

Love, your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎

P.S I've given birth 5 times & l've been supporting other families to give birth for almost 24 years

A lot of women are scared of not coping in labour

But, you don’t need to “eliminate” fear to feel calm

You just need to know how to train your brain to work with you instead of against you

Inside my mindset-first audio course "Birth Doesn’t Have to Be Scary", you’ll learn exactly how to:

→ Stop fear from hijacking your birth experience
→ Shift your thoughts in a way your brain actually believes (no fake positivity here)
→ Walk into labour feeling steady, strong, & in control (no matter what twists & turns unfold)

If your brain is doing loops around “what ifs”…

Let’s give it something better to hold onto

Real tools

Lasting calm

A birth mindset that won’t crack under pressure

That’s what’s inside Birth Doesn’t Have to Be Scary

Comment READY or send me a message with the word READY & let's get you confident for birth 💛

P.S. Real confidence isn’t built by pretending fear doesn’t exist...

It’s built by learning how to meet it, work with it, & move through it

You’ve got this 🤎

Love, your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎

When my teenagers friend said I was an influencer, I didn’t really believe it

But, I’ve been thinking…

Maybe I am!

Influence (to me) is about changing someone’s life ~ not the aesthetic noise on a platform

If you’re pregnant & scared, preparation changes everything ~ message me, I can help

If you’re a birth partner unsure what to do, don’t stand back, message me & I’ll tell you what I know after 23 years in the birth space so you can really be her best support

If you’re a woman building a business & holding a household together, message me, I’d love to connect, I understand this season!

I’m not here to go viral - I’m here for the long haul

The only influence I care about is less panic, less noise, less outsourcing your instincts

In birth.
In business.
In life.

Love, your birth coach, Bonnie 🤎
