What a beautiful day in circle with mothers 𖣠 It’s always amazing to witness what unfolds in these spaces, how as women we support each other and share the realities of birth and motherhood. I’m so grateful to do this work.

Plus these goodie bags showcase the wonderful community we have around.

Let me know if you’re interested in joining the next one!

I love this so much.

Those early days can be so HARD. Sometimes we need advice and information but sometimes all we need is a safe space to feel it all and to know you are loved and doing your best ❤️

Thank you for sharing

This day 15 years ago was my ‘due date’. Little did I know that she wouldn’t arrive for another couple of weeks...

Infact did you know that only around 4% of babies arrive on their due date? So statistically it’s a date you probably WON’T meet your baby! The concept of due dates is based on the work of a German obstetrician from 1812 known as Naegele’s Rule. Despite many flaws with this outdated approach it is still used today. The assumption here is that:

- All women have a 28 day cycle
- Ovulation occurs on day 14
- Babies are ready for birth at the same time

It is simply not an evidence-based approach. From 37 weeks a pregnancy is considered a term and a baby may arrive anytime from then. Most first time mothers carry their babies to 41+weeks. Some babies need longer and some don’t.

One of the biggest reasons for induction of labour is based on concerns around being ‘overdue’. Again a huge topic and I highly recommend reading the book ‘In Your Own Time’ by to understand more about this.

Leaning into the unknown is part of what our children come to teach us. To release control, to trust the process and to be present, however hard that may be...can you see how worn out I look!? 😆

Schedule yourself a fun appointment for your due date - lunch at your favourite restaurant, a nourishing pregnancy massage, a walk with a friend. You’re more likely to make this appointment!

For Christmas my mum made me my very own Yogi Midwife tote bag with an embroidered logo and a colourful v***a background. Can you tell that I absolutely LOVE it!?

Keep an eye out because this bag will be accompanying me on all my workshops and midwife adventures soon!

As the year winds down, I want to take a moment to pause, reflect, and say thank you to this wonderful community!

Thank you for being here, for trusting me with your stories, your pregnancies, your births, your questions, your becoming. I will never not recognise the privilege this work is.

Thank you for walking alongside me as I grow my offerings organically and intentionally. I’m so excited for what’s to come in the new year, I’m full of ideas and I’m so grateful you’re part of it! Watch this space.

Wishing you a gentle, nourishing Christmas season 𖦹

Don’t get me wrong, I love all the questions and discussions! But often people ask very general questions and expect specific answers. Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. And I know it can be frustrating and some people just want the midwife to ‘tell them’ what to do. But I simply can’t.

Any birth education or discussion is hypothetical. We can never know exactly what will unfold. So it’s all about preparing for the unknown and learning how to navigate from there…

Do you agree?

Last December at 40+2 weeks of pregnancy, my sister birthed her twin girls vaginally in hospital.

It has been one of the biggest privileges of my life to have been there at her side and witness her birth on her terms. She was well informed, she was incredibly connected to her own intuition and she made the decisions that were right for her. Labour started spontaneously, she laboured intuitively using various active birth positions and gave birth vaginally to two healthy, beautiful 3 kg babies born exactly one hour apart!

She kindly gave me permission to share this image showing the rawness and reality of birth. One powerful mama and two beautiful girls.

There are moments in life that will impact you forever. This is one of mine.

I can’t quite believe my adorable nieces are 1 whole year old.

Big shout out to the amazing twins mamas. You are superheroes!

Yup midwife life. Best tree topper ever. Although my 14 year old daughter does not agree 🤣

Breastfeeding isn’t a one-way process – it’s a living, responsive conversation between mother and baby. Breast milk is literally magic.

Every feed is an exchange of communication: your baby’s saliva sending signals through the ni**le, your body constantly adjusting the milk to meet their needs in real time. If they’re fighting a cold, your milk increases antibodies. If they’re growing fast, the composition shifts to offer more energy. On hot days, your milk becomes more hydrating. During times of stress, rest, illness, or recovery, it adapts again. Its an ongoing fluid intelligence.

This is why feeding looks different from day to day and from one mother-baby dyad to the next. There is no “right” pattern, only a relationship, responding moment by moment.

Thank you to for this amazing video!

Oh how I wish more people understand this. Unfortunately I see many peoples feeding journeys derailed before it’s really begun because they assume that no milk straight after birth is abnormal. It’s not! It’s part of the incredible design…

After the birth of the placenta, the body begins to prepare the milk which takes around 3 days to come in. Until then your baby feeds on colostrum, a powerful magical substance that acts as part of their transition into the world. Colostrum offers a boost of antibody support to set up their immune system, as well as lining their gut to get ready for milk digestion.

It’s an all part of the beautiful, intense dance of establishing breastfeeding in that early postpartum window.
