Originally trained as a Hypnobirthing childbirth educator but after working with 100's of birth and postnatal doula clients, I have realised that women need MORE than Hypnobirthing.....they need a full childbirth education course that DOES talk about pain and how to cope, and IS inclusive and helps you prepare for c-sections and IS DEFINATELY supportive of pain relief drugs

My digital childbirth course is a full antenatal course that covers EVERYTHING you need to know to prepare confidently for your birth, feeling empowered to make informed decisions along the way, for a positive experience centered around autonomy

Girl, trust WHAT process? The one nobody explained to you?? 💀

Trust isn't something you manifest at 2am while googling "is this normal" for the 45th time.

You know what actually builds trust? Understanding what's happening in your own body. The hormones. The stages of birth. The whole wild ride.

Once you get it, you stop needing to "trust the process" because you just... KNOW the process. 🔥

So let's have more of that "oh THAT'S why that happens" energy. 💪

I know I keep saying it but KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

17/09/2026

I will NOT apologise for:

1. Standing up for my clients
If a system is talking over you, I will not stay quiet.

2. Being a feminist
Women deserve autonomy, respect, and a real say over what happens to their bodies. I will shout about it until the cows come home

3. Questioning everything
The protocols, the way things have always been done, everything.

4. Believing in physiological birth
Trusting that your body already knows how to do this, even when the system around you suggests otherwise.

5. Believing in my clients' power
Every single one of them is more capable than they've been told. I will say it as many times as it takes for them to believe it too. 🔥

None of this makes me difficult. It makes me exactly who you need in your corner. 💪

I remember sitting in the waiting room, with my questions scribbled in a notebook 💕

The obstetrician shaking my hand and leading me into his office. Sitting opposite him, with his big wide desk between us.

To be honest, I felt really intimidated. Every single question I had? Gone. Swallowed.

I didn't want to be a nuisance, or labeled "that mum."

Afterwards, I had a good talking to myself and in the next appointment I felt empowered to ask those damn questions with my head help up high

You are a powerful, autonomous woman, with questions about your own body, your own baby, your own birth.

Informed consent isn't a nice-to-have. It's yours. Every appointment. No exceptions. 🙌

So here's your one line for next time:

"I have a few specific questions I'd like to go through today"

and if you get answers full of medical jargon, you can always ask:

"Can you explain that in simple words?"

Save this for your next appointment, birthing queen 💕

Tell me....what question have you been too scared to ask?

I’m so tired of women not being heard or respected

A recent client of mine said no to vaginal exams. During birth I lost count of the number of times her gynecologist asked to do a vaginal exam.

My client is a strong baddass woman and she KNEW what she wanted and what she didn’t want….she said no, FIRMLY and FIRMLY…she did not want to be touched…but the gynecologist wasn’t comfortable with that and had zero trust in the process and the birthing woman and asked her over and over again and wouldn’t take no for an answer

The doctor attempted to coerce, manipulate and threaten because she “just want to do a little check so I know how to help you”

My client did not need helping or rescuing. She was a strong and empowered woman birthing her baby with autonomy.

She said no and she meant it. That took a lot of strength when being asked multiple times over and over

Soon after, without “help” she birthed her baby into the world like the incredibly powerful woman that she is 🙌🔥

🌟 BIG NEWS!!! 🌟

I’ve got something EXCITING to share!!

I’ve had a little makeover (not a facial or anything 😂)…..

A fresh new business name!! Whoop whoop!!

Why?

Well, after 12 years of the old name, I’ve realised what women need is so much more than “HypnoBirthing” (*GASP!!)

“HypnoBirthing” stopped growing while I continued and I now know women need MORE…they need support and education that is realistic and inclusive…

I’ll explain more soon…but know I’m still here, it’s still me, but now it’s a fresh start to something beautiful that I feel proud to offer to pregnant people all around the world 💗

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey with me!!

Stayed tuned for more exciting updates 😁💕

Warm, cosy hot chocolate!!

Perfect for when my kids cycle home from school in the rain.

Perfect for recovery after birth 🥰

Why hot chocolate? Well cacao is packed with magnesium which helps calm your nervous system and release endorphins and serotonin- your feel-good hormones.

This hot chocolate recipe contains healthy fats too to give you extra energy and support hormone balance - perfect for breastfeeding!

Ingredients:

2 cups (500ml) of your favourite milk
3 tablespoon of cacao
1/4 or 1/2 chilli powder (if you like spice)
1 tablespoon cornmeal or cornflour
Honey, sugar or maple syrup

How to prepare: warm the milk in a saucepan, add all the ingredients and whisk until smooth

Voila! Cosy, warm hot chocolate!

Now snuggle up with your favourite blankets and your baby and ENJOY ❤️

🌸 autonomy in birth 🌸

It starts with asking questions so you can make informed decisions 🙌

Daisy recently had an appointment at the hospital about a spot on her cheek. She sat down and made a list of all the questions she wanted to ask the doctor 👍

During her appointment, Daisy asked her questions loud and clear and with confidence. The doctor was amazing and answered Daisy’s questions and asked Daisy about HER preferences

THIS is what informed decision making looks like, using your autonomy and taking control 🔥

(I’m super proud of 9 year old little Daisy Doo)

Autonomy in birth is about having and knowing the options and having the freedom and support to make informed decisions 💕

❤️ A cosy little home ❤️

Ever wondered what your baby’s amniotic membranes look like?

Well, here’s a beautiful clear photo of a complete placenta with membranes and umbilical cord attached. What a beauty! 🥰

Here are some interesting facts:

👉 the membranes are stretchy and strong and keep your baby safe and surrounded by amniotic fluid

👉the membranes (sac) is made from layers of tissue, mainly consisting of collagen fibers

👉 the membranes are attached to the placenta and completely surround your baby

👉 at some point during labour, the membranes might weaken and with the added pressure from your baby and your contractions, the membranes might release (break)

👉 sometimes the membranes don’t release during labour and your baby might be born inside the intact sac of membranes. This is called “en-caul”

👉 artificial rupture of membranes (AROM) is where your midwife or doctor breaks your membranes for you, either to start or speed up your birth

And another AMAZING FACT:

🔥 membranes contain stem cells, growth factors and collagen which are being used for reconstructive surgery! 🔥

Daisy was nearly born inside her membranes! In some cultures it’s thought to bring good luck.

Was your baby born en-caul?

Like & share! 💗
