Christmas gatherings hit different when you’re planning a homebirth 🎄

Maybe you’re announcing your pregnancy at a family gathering. Or maybe people are asking about your plans.

And the moment you mention homebirth?…

Suddenly everyone’s an expert 🙃

👨 Uncle Dave who’s never birthed anything: “That’s dangerous.”
👩 Your MIL who had all scheduled cesareans: “But what if something goes wrong?”
🧒 Your cousin who watches Grey’s Anatomy: “You know hospitals exist for a reason?”
🧓 Random relatives: “That’s very brave” (translation: reckless)

🎄 The festive season reveals something crucial: who actually respects your sovereignty and who thinks your pregnant body is public property

Here’s what they won’t tell you:
☀️ You’ve researched more than any of them did for their births
☀️ For low-risk pregnancies, planned homebirth is as safe as hospital birth physically and for many people it is more safe mentally and emotionally
☀️ Their fear doesn’t get to override your informed choice
☀️ Birth outcomes aren’t about location - they’re about support, autonomy, and physiological process
☀️ The judgment isn’t about your safety. It’s about their discomfort with your autonomy.

This heightened season - all that family time, all those questions, all that unsolicited advice - it’s actually preparation. Because if you can hold your ground now, you can hold it in labour.

If you’re feeling this, it might be a good time to jump into my free Plan Your Dream Homebirth webinar because one of the things we work on is exactly this: expressing your needs and advocating for yourself when everyone has an opinion.

Trust me: the judgment doesn’t stop after the gathering. You need practice 💫

Last Homebirth Community gathering for 2025 🏠✨

Today we gathered one more time before the summer break. And in this season of heightened everything - family dynamics, social expectations - this space felt even more essential.

By gathering in Community, I feel we practise something different:
🌙 Trusting ourselves even when everyone else doubts us
💫 Holding space for real questions
🌿 Building connection that strengthens rather than diminishes agency
🔥 Remembering we’re not alone in choosing differently

Gathering with other birthing people and birthworkers who are choosing autonomy, sharing resources, asking brave questions, holding complexity.

So to everyone who showed up this year: my sincere gratitude for your presence and for being part of this community 💛

We’ll be back in January 2025.

If you want to be part of this space next year - especially if you’re navigating family judgment this festive season and need community who GETS it - drop a 🏠 below. Would love to welcome you.

The "Perfectionist to Parent" Journey

I was always in a rush. 🏃‍♀️💨

And everything I did had to be done to perfection.

If you know me now as your Yoga Facilitator or Bowen Therapist, you might find this hard to believe... but in a past life, I was an Engineer. My life was a high-speed juggling act of career, long-distance running, and striving for "perfect."

It worked. Until it didn't. 🛑

My body eventually shouted what my mind wouldn't hear. From compromising my fertility due to stress, to navigating an inguinal hernia during pregnancy and the return of debilitating pelvic pain postpartum - I was forced to stop.

I remember lying in a hospital bed after surgery, realising that my pain wasn't a punishment. It was an invitation. An invitation to stop seeking perfection, and start seeking compassion. ❤️‍🩹

I’ve shared the full, personal story of my journey - from the high-stress corporate world to the hospital bed that changed everything - over on the blog today.

It’s a story about fertility, pain, and the messy, beautiful reality of matrescence.

Read the full story via the blog page on my website. 🔗

Tell me below: What is one thing you are trying to be less "perfect" about right now? 👇

We spent last week (Perinatal Mental Health Week) talking about autonomy as the foundation of perinatal mental health. But what happens when the very system designed to support you slowly strips your agency? 😔

The unspoken link between birth trauma and mental health challenges isn't always the physical outcome - it's the feeling of powerlessness. It's the moment your body becomes a subject of external management rather than your own vessel of creation. 💔

This loss of agency begins subtly, often with a measurement, a test, or a minor intervention chosen without full awareness of its implications. It erodes the belief that you know your body best. 💡

We cannot fix the perinatal mental health crisis without restoring choice to the parent. That means shifting the focus from simply coping with symptoms to proactively owning every decision about your body and your baby. 🧘‍♀️

This is not political; it's personal. This is how we reclaim perinatal mental health.

Are you ready to reclaim your agency and cultivate the inner knowing required for this journey?

Happy Monday! 👋 As the year winds down, so does my schedule, giving us all permission to embrace a little more harmony and slow living before the holidays kick in. December is quiet, intentional, and focused on community connection before my well-earned summer break! ☀️

Here’s what’s on the calendar for your final dose of connection and support at The Centre of Bright Beginnings:

🗓️ December Highlights:

Dec 12: Homebirth Community Catchup 🏡☕️ Our final gathering for the year! Come connect, share stories, and fill your cup with our warm village before the studio closes. Details via the website under Homebirth

Dec 17: End of Year Gift for Subscribers 🎁✨ My gift to you is the brand new Lunisolar Calendar for the coming year! This is an essential tool for reclaiming your natural biorhythms and stepping outside that relentless, linear 24/7 calendar hustle. Keep an eye on your inbox - you won't want to miss this!

Dec 20: Studio Closes for Summer Break 🏖️ Time for my own quiet practise and rest before a bright new year! I'll be recharging and planning so I can show up for you all in 2026.

I hope to see you at one of our final events! Let the intentional winding-down begin. 💖

What nobody seems to be talking much about during Perinatal Mental Health Week:

😭 We talk about our personal stress, but what about the secondary trauma we're all carrying? The stories of birth trauma from friends, the genocides we witness overseas, the ongoing trauma on this land we now call Australia - this is heavy, unseen emotional labour.

🔥If you are feeling profound anger, rage, and confusion when witnessing these injustices - especially while you are so viscerally aware of the sacredness of life while parenting - your feelings are valid and justified. This is not a failure of your mental health; it's a moral response to the world.

✨ Tapas is the self-respect to create a sacred boundary so you can care for your own energy. It's the discipline of rest, which allows you to show up fully for your family and for the actions you choose to take in your immediate life and community.

💖 Protecting your energy is a radical act of love for yourself and your family. What is one healthy boundary or intentional action (beyond scrolling) you can commit to today?

🌏 I believe that we cannot fix the perinatal mental health crisis in this country until we properly support the mental health of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sisters and their families.

The health outcomes are a mirror reflecting the deeper social justice issues on the land we are parenting on.

❤️💛🖤This must be a non-negotiable part of the conversation.

That is why I pledge to donate 10% of my annual profits to Ngank Yira who work closely with the WA government, contributing high level expertise to projects and initiatives which seek to ensure Aboriginal families and communities have access to culturally safe maternity care. One great example is their "Baby Coming, You Ready?" program.

Your decision to engage with The Centre of Bright Beginnings directly contributes to this essential work.

We all have a part to play in creating a nation where every parent and birthing person is safe and seen.

🗣️ We can’t talk about mental health without talking about safety.

Too often, we’re told safety is defined by the system or the clinician.

But what most people don’t realise is: Your safety is defined by you.

Safety looks different for each and every one of us so there’s no way any care provider is going to create a safe environment by doing the exact same thing for every person.

This means, we need to be having more conversations around autonomy and the freedom of choice to access care that is culturally, spiritually, and socially appropriate for each individual.

Choice is a key component in proactive mental health care.

🧘‍♀️ in my matrescence coaching and yoga offerings, I work to help you cultivate Svadhyaya (self-inquiry/self-governance) - the inner knowing needed to confidently define your boundaries and communicate your needs in birth and parenting.

💖 Your voice matters.
