It's been a little while since I last introduced myself, so here's a "Hi! 👋 I'm Martyna- the face behind Hey Baby! Birth & Breastfeeding Support.

And a little pop quiz to get to know me better 👇

Age ➡️ I recently turned 40!

Zodiac sign ➡️ I'm a leo ♌️ and like a true leo my family and friends would tell you I'm warm, loyal, I wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm extremely stubborn.

Family ➡️ I have 3 awesome children aged 11, 9 & 5 and an incredible husband that doesn't bat an eyelid at any of the crazy ideas I come up with.

Love languages ➡️ Quality time & touch although acts of service follows closely behind.

Favourite food ➡️ Mexican.

Favourite colour ➡️ Turquoise.

Highest values ➡️ Family, community & health.

Fears ➡️ Death and deep open water swimming.

Greatest achievements to date ➡️ Birthing my 3 babes on my terms, at home and running 2 marathons 🏃‍♀️.

Life's lowest moments ➡️ Sustaining a prolapse (of my bladder) after the birth of my 2nd baby and the impact that had on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of not only myself - but my family. Also, witnessing my hubby be diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and hit his rock bottom before finding his path to healing ✨️

What I love doing in my spare time ➡️ Being physically active and adventuring with my family and friends 🫶 I love all things outdoors. You'll find me running, out on the SUP, swimming in the bay, camping, hiking and on the hunt for the next adventure.
I also love sitting in circle with women. Connecting and sharing from the heart.

Where I want to go ➡️ My dream would be to pull the kids out of school and do a lap of this beautiful country.

What Calmbirth taught me ➡️ My power.

Why attend Calmbirth with me? ➡️ Having experienced 3 incredible births myself, I understand the ripple effect of that, not only on your postpartum and early mothering - but the years beyond that. In the process of birth, you birth the new version of yourself. So I don't take this role lightly - I want to support you in any way possible to achieve an incredibly positive experience, so you too can feel the ripple effect of that for years beyond. ✨️

Next Calmbirth 📅: Sept 13th & 14th.

There is no one right or wrong way to give birth.

Just different birth journeys.

Calmbirth isn't about 𝓱𝓸𝔀 a baby enters this world, whether intervention or medical support is needrd or not...

It's about supporting you to create connection to yourself, your intuition, your partner and your baby. It's about giving you tools to work with labour. It's about instilling trust in yourself, to be able to work with any situation, however it unfolds on the day.

If you're looking to feel prepared and confident for birth, for scenario A, B, C or Z, join me for a Calmbirth Course.

Next Group Course is September 13th & 14th. 3 spots left.

Attending a Calmbirth Course will definitely help in your preparation for birth - embodying that knowledge after, takes that preparation to the next level.

So here's your gentle reminder to find time in your day to practice your core Calmbirth skills. And here's some tips to help you with that process:

➡️ Set 10 minutes aside each day to practice your breathing techniques.
➡️ It might feel better to do this in snippets throughout the day instead.
➡️ Use any daily opportunities where you might feel discomfort to practice your Rhythmic Focused Breath (in a treatment with a body worker, in a colder shower, muscle stiffness, or soreness).
➡️ Listen to one post-course relaxation per day. I found it really nourishing to do this mid-walk in nature; sitting down on a park bench or at the beach.
➡️ If you haven't had a moment to spare throughout the day, listen to your relaxation as you are lying down in bed before going to sleep.
➡️ Take time in your day to visualise your birth experience. (For suggestions of visualisation practice see my other post "Creative visualisation: a powerful tool for birth preparation and labour".
➡️ The birth rehearsal relaxation script may be really helpful with this.

I like to use the analogy of running a marathon. Without the training - you might get through it, but practice makes it easier. Preparing for a marathon not only conditions the legs, but prepares the mind for that mental battle. It's exactly the same for birth. Your preparation creates neurological changes in the mind that support the body for the whole body task of labour.

If you'd like the tools to feel prepared for birth, come along to a Calmbirth course with me.

✨️ The next dates are: ✨️
▪️September 13th & 14 - currently 3 spots remaining.
▪️October 13th, 20th, 27th & November 3rd
▪️October 18th & 19th

"𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒃𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉, 𝑰 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒂 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆". 🫶

In an icebreaker earlier this year, I had a woman share this statement with her introduction, and it has stuck with me ever since.

Because birth is about how we come out of that experience with whatever unfolds on the day.

By attending a Calmbirth course with me, I'm not promising you a picture-perfect birth. What I dream for you - is you walking out feeling confident, excited, full of knowledge and tools that are going to support you in achieving that positive experience.

The course isn't just about breathing and visualisation techniques, I'll guide you to:
✨️ understand the physiology of labour and birth.
✨️ tap into your inner strength and intuition.
✨️ this one's for partners - to be an epic support.
✨️ understand what tools can help you work with the flow of labour.
✨️ reduce fear around the process and build trust in your body and choices.

Birth doesn't have to be perfect. But with the right preparation, it can be a beautifully, connected and positive experience, no matter what path it takes.

If this resonates with you, I'd love to see you at a Calmbirth Course ❤️
Next session: July 26th and August 2nd.

Ahh parenting can be freaking hard!

I was expecting it to happen at some point. My daughter has taken on the challenge of playing for an academy team this year in soccer, and last Thursday, before training, it all came crumbling down. "It's too hard. I don't want to do it anymore. I can't ".

There was a part of me that wanted to save her from her discomfort.

For those of us who have competed in sport, we've all been there, right? That edge of where it all feels too much. It's too hard. It just doesn't click. Or your goal feels like it's a million miles away. But with the right headspace, a growth mindset, the right support crew and determination, when you move towards that threshold and eventually break through...well, that's where the magic happens 🦋

So instead, I said "𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲. Because if it were easy, there would be no room for improvement.". That old saying - '𝕚𝕗 𝕚𝕥 𝕕𝕠𝕖𝕤𝕟'𝕥 𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕘𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦, 𝕚𝕥 𝕨𝕠𝕟'𝕥 𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦'. "You CAN do this. You have so many people that believe in you. Your coach believes in you, we believe in you, your family believes in you, now you need to believe in yourself. You've got this". I helped her out of the car and together, hand-in-hand we walked over to the pitch.

The next day, it hit me like a tonne of bricks. This is exactly like birth. When we hit those edges, it's when we lean in, we experience that potential for growth and transformation.

If you are wanting to enter birth with a confident headspace, to be able to meet the challenges that will arise (however birth unfolds) head-on with a toolbox of resources, for your team to feel solid in supporting you, join me for a Calmbirth course.

February and March dates have only a few spots left.
