Over the past 6 weeks our My Birth Recovery series has shared a whole host of tools to help some lovely mums recover after difficult pregnancy, birth and postnatal experiences.

Each week provides relaxing space to be heard and to listen to ourselves too. As well as time to practise the different tools and see which ones work for us.

Today our finale includes space to explore our story of hope to help create a Birth Hope Story, rather than horror story.

We will be offering another series in the Autumn/ Winter if you would also like the space to heal.

At The Gulbenkian, Canterbury this October:

In February 2025, the UK’s first baby was born to a mother who had received a womb transplant from a living donor.

🧭 One-to-One Birth Preparation for Men
📍Private. Focused. Symbolic. Real.

Are you becoming a father — or walking beside someone who is — and wondering what your role really is in the birth room?

This isn’t a class.
It’s a conversation.
Just you and me, one-to-one.

👤 I’ve been a midwife for over 30 years.
I’ve taught doctors, doulas, and dads.
But this isn’t about what I know. It’s about supporting you to find your ground.

You’ll get:
✔️ Three private 45-minute sessions (Zoom)
✔️ Tailored resources sent after each session
✔️ Real talk about presence, pacing, and what matters most
✔️ Optional follow-up if you want more

This is for men who don’t want a group class...
but do want to feel steady, ready, and honest in their role.

Price: £145
Booking: Just email me — mark@birthing4blokes.com
Website coming soon.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to show up.
I’ll meet you there.
