Trigger warning: fertility struggles & pregnancy loss

This feels like a vulnerable thing to share, but I wanted to let you know I am still here. Being open & honest has always been something very important to me always in this space. ♥️

The last little while I’ve been navigating fertility struggles & pregnancy loss behind the scenes.

It’s a journey so many women walk, yet when you’re in it, it can feel incredibly lonely.

Part of the reason I stepped back was because I never want to show up for the Mamas I support without my whole heart. Pregnancy & preparing for birth is such a special time in a woman’s life, and I always want to honour that fully.

But through this experience I’ve come to realise something.

Walking through fertility & loss myself has deepened my understanding of just how emotional, complex & personal the journey into motherhood can be.

And if these experiences allow me to hold space for the women I work with with even more compassion, care & understanding… then there is meaning in that.

Thank you for being here & if you stick around while I slowly find my way back 🤍

MY BABY GAL IS TWO! 🤍✨🫶🏼
Happy BIRTHday to us both 👶🏼

My birth story is one that always makes me smile & it’s one I talk about a lot 🫣 (given my job) 😂 but over the last few days I’ve really been thinking about it… last night especially, looking back on the pictures leading up to & the day of her arrival with David ♥️

It’s a moment for both of us filled with joy, pride & happiness 🫶🏼
One not without some curve balls… but one where I instantly felt like Superwoman — in absolute awe of my body, my baby & the truly mind-blowing process of birthing a tiny human 👶🏼✨

Within hours of meeting Miss Penelope, I said to David,
“I wish every Mama felt like this.”
And just six weeks later, I took the plunge into training to support others to have that ♥️✨

Penelope is the BEST thing that has ever happened to me & thanks to her I found my passion & purpose — supporting women through one of the most transformative experiences of their lives 🩷✨

You can read my birth story over on my website — link 🔗 in bio.

Happy Birthday, baby gal 🩷💕
You are so incredibly loved. Forever grateful to be your Mama ✨

At some point in your pregnancy, someone might tell you not to prepare for birth.
That it doesn’t matter anyway.

But preparation isn’t about controlling birth 🤍

It’s about understanding what’s happening in your body, feeling confident in your choices & knowing how to work with whatever unfolds. 🙌🏽✨

That’s exactly why I do what I do.

✨ My Group Hypnobirthing Course
🗓 Sunday the 11th of January
📍 , Inverness

Only 2 spaces left.

If you’re pregnant & want to approach birth feeling calm, confident & supported — this is for you.

You can also start with my FREE 30-minute introductory session on my website 🤍

This moment plays in my head over & over… seeing you for the very first time. 👶🏼🤍✨ I would do this x100 & never tire of that feeling..

The moment we hold our babies, seeing their faces is truly the most bizarre feeling. One that can feel different for us all, so don’t expect to have this instant rush & feel bad that you never. That’s ok. ♥️ sometimes it takes a minute…

The moment they passed Penelope up to me, it felt like an out of body experience, like my brain & body needed to take a minute to connect back together… 🤍✨ I remember looking at my sister like ‘did that just happen?’ 🥹

But, oh that love that came - the absolute awe of myself & my body for doing what it just done was 😍 I genuinely felt like the strongest woman ever 🤣 BADASS! 💪🏽

I knew very quickly that I had to help other Mamas feel that way. Step into motherhood feeling strong & that they can do anything. ♥️🙌🏽

P.s I feel all the feels in December as we approach Penelope’s birthday & find my self in deep scroll looking back over that time..

I done a countdown last year leading up to her birth, should I do again?

Did you know… your pelvis isn’t a fixed structure ✨

It’s designed to move! Different positions during labour can open different parts of the pelvis — helping to create more space for baby’s journey down.

🌿 Side-lying or deep lunges open the mid-pelvis
🌿 Hands & knees, knees in feet out, open the pelvic outlet
🌿 Standing & hip extension positions can help when baby is still high

Small adjustments can make a big difference. Trust your body — it’s made for this.

Want to learn more about birth positions & practical tools to support a positive birth? My Hypnobirthing courses are designed to help you feel calm, confident & ready for birth.

I’m back ✨

After 5 nights away & a weekend to recover (Penelope has well & truly lost the sleep memo 🤣), I’m feeling raring to go!

The best news… my client has welcomed her baby into the world & had a beautiful, positive birth experience 🤍 My heart is so full. Every time this happens, I’m reminded why sharing Hypnobirthing matters so much — supporting Mamas & birth partners to feel calm, confident & in control is everything.

I’m also busy getting ready for my upcoming fully booked group course 🙌🏽 I can’t wait for a full day of positive birth conversations, education & preparation for confident, informed birth experiences.
