This need action people. If you want homebirth to be a safe option for those who choose it. These changes will rule out mentorship and rural homebirth options. Without mentorship I wouldn’t be supporting women as I do now šŸ’•

Are you a birth worker or practitioner supporting women through pregnancy, birth, or the early postpartum journey? šŸ¤

I’d love to share something with you.

For a short time, I’m offering practitioners the opportunity to explore Journey to Motherhood with 5 days of complimentary access.

This course was created to support women and families to better understand birth physiology, feel more informed in their choices, and approach their birth journey with greater confidence and connection.

Inside, you’ll explore:

- The physiology of birth and what supports it
- Preparing for a positive and empowered birth experience
- Understanding fear, trust, and the emotional layers surrounding birth
- Navigating decisions when birth doesn’t unfold as expected
- Supporting connection, recovery, and the early postpartum period

If you support pregnant women and families as a:

šŸ¤ Midwife
šŸ¤ Doula

šŸ¤ Lactation consultant
šŸ¤ Women’s health physiotherapist
šŸ¤ GP or nurse
šŸ¤ Chiropractor or osteopath
šŸ¤ Perinatal practitioner
šŸ¤ Birth worker

…I’d love to hear from you. 🌱

If you’re curious to explore the course and see whether it feels aligned with the way you support families, comment PRAC below or send me a DM.

I’d also love to hear your thoughts and feedback after exploring it. šŸ¤

After literally months and nearly years of writing, filming, editing,rethinking, learning and creating… I’d love to celebrate with you. šŸ¤

The launch of Journey to Motherhood isn’t just about an online course.

It’s about celebrating the community that surrounds families as they become parents.

Whether you’re planning a baby, expecting one, have little ones in tow, work alongside families, or you’ve simply been cheering me on from the sidelines, I’d genuinely love to see you there.

This afternoon is about connection, conversation and celebrating something that has been years in the making.

See you there. šŸ¤

Do you work with women supporting an empowered physiological birth experience?

I’ve created a toolkit based on over 20 years of experience working alongside women planning both home and hospital births.

This is the kind of support I’ve developed through years of walking with families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum - where physiology, informed choice, and continuity of care really matter.

This toolkit brings together practical guidance and grounded insight into how to support physiological birth in a way that is calm, informed, and centred around the woman’s experience.

It’s designed to support you in your work - whether you’re guiding women through pregnancy, birth preparation, or the early postpartum period.

Because the way we hold women in birth matters.

And having clear, grounded tools can make all the difference in how supported they feel.

If this feels aligned with the way you work…

This is for practitioners who want to support birth in a way that feels informed, physiological, and deeply respectful of the woman’s experience.

Are you pregnant and wanting an empowered birth experience?

I’m Abbey, a midwife with over 20 years of experience supporting women through both hospital and home births.

Over the years, I’ve worked closely with families preparing for physiological birth and one thing has become very clear:
I simply can’t work with everyone who reaches out.

But I didn’t want that depth of care, guidance, and preparation to only exist within my one-to-one work.

So I’ve created this course.
It brings together everything I teach my private clients on how to prepare for a physiological birth, how to feel confident in your choices, and how to move through pregnancy and birth feeling supported rather than overwhelmed.

You don’t need to have all the answers right now.

You just need a steady place to begin.

If you’re currently pregnant and wanting to feel more informed, more prepared, and more confident in your birth journey…

Because empowered birth starts long before labour - it begins with understanding, support, and the way you’re held along the way.

My name’s Abbey, and I’ve spent over 20 years walking alongside women through hospital and home births - supporting them to feel informed, calm, and connected to their choices.

I’ve created this course because I can’t work one-to-one with everyone who reaches out… but I didn’t want that support to only belong to the women I see privately.

This is everything I teach and share with my clients around physiological birth, birth preparation, and feeling safe in your body during pregnancy - brought together in one gentle, accessible space.

You don’t need to do everything differently.

You don’t need to become someone else.

You just need the right information, the right support, and a steady place to come back to as you move through your pregnancy.

If you’re currently pregnant and wanting to feel more prepared, more grounded, and more confident in your birth journey…

Because birth isn’t something you control - it’s something you prepare for with care, knowledge, and support.

If you've ever felt the weight of trying to make the "right" decisions in pregnancy, I've been creating something for you.

The Journey to Motherhood is opening soon.

A space to help you prepare for birth with more clarity, more confidence, and more trust in yourself.

One of the hardest things about being pregnant is carrying the weight of responsibility.

Suddenly, every decision feels more important than it ever did.

What you eat.

How you sleep.

Which care provider you choose.

Whether you have a test.

Whether you decline one.

Whether you're doing enough.

Whether you're doing too much.

And underneath it all is a quiet question many women carry:

"What if I get something wrong?"

It can feel as though your baby's wellbeing rests entirely on your shoulders.

But pregnancy was never meant to be carried alone.

This is one of the reasons continuity of care can feel so supportive.

Not because someone else makes the decisions for you.

But because you have someone beside you to help you understand your options, explore your concerns, and navigate the uncertainty.

Someone who reminds you that you don't need to have all the answers today.

That you're allowed to ask questions.

Allowed to take your time.

Allowed to change your mind when new information becomes available.

Allowed to seek support.

Preparing for birth isn't about making perfect decisions.

It's about making informed decisions with the support, information, and care you need along the way.

If you're looking for this kind of birth preparation, The Journey to Motherhood was created with you in mind.
