Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m juggling so many balls - work, home, two little ones with totally different needs… and somewhere in there, trying to look after myself too.
Some days it feels doable. Other days? Not so easy…

But one thing that’s really helped me (both as a perinatal mental health specialist and as a mum actually living this) is the rubber and glass balls idea.
It’s a reminder that not everything we carry is meant to be held with the same pressure. Some things matter deeply… and some things can bounce for a while. And that’s OK.

If you’re pregnant or in those early postpartum months and feeling overwhelmed, or just tired from carrying so much - please know you don’t have to do it alone.
I support mums with gentle tools and space to breathe again.

💛 My DMs are always open if you need support or want to chat.

There’s so much noise about the “right” and “wrong” ways to give birth, feed, or parent – but not nearly enough about how unsupported women so often feel in the process.

Maybe it’s time to quiet the noise, and really listen to one another… 🧡

Brunch is on this month ! ✨🧡

This time of year is made for comforting food, cosy vibes, and the warmth of togetherness. 🍁

Our theme this month is ‘sleep’, with the lovely Becky joining us. 😴💛

Up for delicious food (and coffees, of course!), nourishing chats, new mum mates, and all the other bits that make our brunches so special? Only a few tickets left - book now via the link in bio. ✌️

Can’t wait to see you there with your bumps, babes, and/or toddlers. 💛

With love,
Charlotte

Our little October sunshine escape has come to an end ☀️
Now we’re back to grey skies, soggy socks, and a bit of post holiday blues - but my heart feels so full after a week in 🇲🇹

Loved
💛 the warmth and blue skies this time of year
🩵 stunning and easily accessible swimming and snorkelling spots
💛 not cooking a single meal (pure bliss!)
💛 all the contact naps with my girl 🌸
💛 the excitement and pure joy on O’s face every day 🤩
💛 discovering new places and making precious memories together

But also…
😴 not much sleep (it feels like holidays always happen during a sleep regression)
👀 no 1:1 time with hubby - we were both wiped out once the kids were down
🫣 planning anything beyond the pool and sea requires a fair bit of bribing with a 6 YO
😵‍💫 and the amount of laundry we brought home is genuinely terrifying

Still - we’d do it all again in a heartbeat - obviously 😊.

What’s your favourite and most missed part of holidaying abroad since having little ones? 💛

In a few days, my baby 🌸 will turn 1, and my desire for life to slow down has never been so strong. Such a wild mix of feelings - love (of course), pride, and gratitude for the past 12 months, but also fear and sadness. The truth is, I’m scared that I’ll never feel this intensely happy again, and sad knowing I’ll never get to relive what feels like the most beautiful, raw, and purposeful chapter of my life.

In my latest blog post, I wrote about grief in motherhood, and how mindfulness can be such a powerful tool to navigate the difficult emotions that come with constantly letting go of something so precious.

This morning, I found peace and comfort watching the sunrise while holding my girl in my arms. So much has changed for us lately. I’m still learning to allow myself to feel it all - the grief, the sadness, and the joy - all at once.

I hope you find that peace too, mamas.

With love,
Charlotte 💛

At the heart of it all is this: discovering how to birth your baby in your power, with trust, calm, and confidence 🤰

The Hypnobirthing Power Course is a well-loved, nurturing space designed to help you feel prepared and supported - emotionally, mentally, and practically.
I’m so looking forward to guiding a new group on Sunday, 30 November .

All 2024 course dates so far have been fully booked, so if 30 November feels right for you, it’s best to book a spot sooner rather than later.

Hi there! 🌺 I’d love to share something new with you! ✨

Over the past few years, I’ve been holding space for women in two ways:
🌿 through Poppy & Jack Hypnobirthing, helping Mamas prepare for birth and those early days of motherhood…
💛 and through MindKind Hypnotherapy, supporting women with their wellbeing, healing, and mental health.

These parts of my work have always been connected in my heart - and now I’m bringing them together here under one name: 🌸

Nothing is going away. Poppy & Jack and MindKind will still exist as their own things. But here on this page, you’ll find it all in one place:
✨ empowering birth prep
✨ postpartum support
✨ tools for calm, confidence, and emotional wellbeing

Think of a kind space for every stage of mamahood where you can feel seen, supported and celebrated.

I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to share this new chapter with you.

With love,
Charlotte x
