So lovely catching up with these guys for a refresher course as they get ready for their second birth!

& completed the course with me during their first pregnancy in 2020. 4 years later we reunited to review all the techniques and get clear on their vision for this birth.

Love being able to offer short refresher sessions for previous clients ❤️❤️

The amniotic sac is a membrane that holds your baby (and their cord), placenta and amniotic fluid. As you can see, the sac is thin and transparent but is quite strong!

The amniotic fluid is made up of water, electrolytes, nutrients, hormones and antibodies, meticulously curated to nurture our bub throughout pregnancy. Initially it is mostly made up of mostly fluid from our body but later on baby’s urine contributes too. It acts as a cushion and also provides hydration and nourishment, ensuring optimal development and comfort for our growing baby!

Our sac normally ruptures during labour, causing the water to leak (or while pushing baby out) so it’s rare to see it in tact like in this AMAZING pic 😍 thank you to for capturing and sharing this!

How did your waters break? Or maybe your baby was born en caul (in the sac) like this!

The Birth of Scarlett ❤️

Thanks Ashleigh & Tom for sharing your story. I loved meeting this couple. They were super informed but also had really supportive caregivers throughout the pregnancy and birth.

“We welcomed our beautiful baby on Tuesday 12th March at 2.54am. We didn’t know the s*x, and we had a girl 🩷 we named her Scarlett. She was 3.59kg and a very long 56cm!

What a positive experience it was. Even if it didn’t go exactly to our preferences - we felt in control of our choices and everything that happened. Our birth team at the hospital were amazing - couldn’t fault it”

Anchor touch 🖐️

This simple yet effective technique can provide comfort, stability, and a sense of grounding during the intensity of labour. It’s also a physical cue to remind mum to relax the upper body and let that relaxation spread throughout her body. This will allow her uterus to draw up without resistance (and help reduce pain). Skin-to-skin from your partner will also help with the produce of oxytocin ❤️

Swipe to see the anchor touch in action during my third labour. I found it super effective during this last birth!

Learn more about this technique plus a bunch of others at my classes! Our next one starts on 16th March at - link in bio for bookings!

Why drag your partner to a hypnobirthing class?

Because not only will they feel more knowledgeable and confident, but you will also feel more connected as a couple and parents-to-be! Our techniques help release endorphins (feel good hormone) and oxytocin (the love hormone) which also flows through to your beautiful baby ❤️

And trust me, they will end up raving about the classes to your friends 😉

Accidental home birth 🥰

Congratulations to second time parents Ebony and Jon who attended my course back in 2021 in their first pregnancy. She shared her experience on my podcast (check out my highlights).

I was so excited to receive her birth story and these gorgeous images in my inbox from her second birth a few weeks ago! The hypnobirthing tools are not only helpful for hospital and home births but also “baby’s choice” births 😉

Who wants the full story?

“Overall, my birth was such an incredible and surreal experience. In comparison to my first posterior birth it was so much easier to manage and I felt incredibly present and in control for the entire labour. The tools that we learnt from your course during my first pregnancy were absolutely invaluable for us during this birth and were the reason we were able to handle ourselves so well at home for the duration of the labour.

I have absolutely no words for how Jon handled himself and supported me. I’m so grateful to have a husband who trusted my body, allowed me to do my own thing, stepped up to support me when needed and genuinely believed me when I told him I could feel things changing and that this baby was coming. He was calm and reassuring while he reminded me of my power and strength as a woman to birth our baby while remaining strong and grounded within himself. Knowing that we birthed our baby girl on our own together still seems so surreal that I can’t even put it into words and I’m so incredibly proud of us.”

This beautiful couple did my course for their first bub! When I shared Shannen’s story a lot of you were inspired to see a first time mum have a beautiful water birth.

She just had her second baby after a successful ECV(which she described as feeling like a massage!!). Read her story here:

“Another baby boy born in the water to add to your positive hypnobirthing clan!

Luca James Thurlow arrived at 12:32pm on Friday the 10th of November. Measuring 52cm and weighing 3.7kg.

Just 4 days before birth I had a breech baby! Bub has been head up and bum down since my 20 week scan and showed no signs of moving. By 34 weeks I started to get anxious and began actively trying things to turn baby like chiro, acupuncture, moxibustion sticks and spinning babies techniques. Nothing was working, so I decided to do an ECV at my hospital at 38 weeks and if that failed I was mentally prepared for a c section. Coming to terms with a c section took a few weeks, especially since my first birth was a water birth and I longed for another positive experience. I thought about being referred to our specialist birth clinic at another hospital, however the thought of things going wrong really irked me.

So at 38 weeks I had a successful ECV and baby was head down! The next two days I felt immense pressure deep into my pelvis, as if bub was just waiting to be head down the whole time.”
