Birth With Choice

25/10/2025

I’m not here to scare you, I’m here to make sure you don’t walk in blind.

You deserve to know how birth really works, what actually helps, and how to stay in control even in a hospital setting.

Prep smart. Birth strong.
Comment BIRTH and I’ll send you a whole week of free prep that will give you a boost of confidence and a tonne of resources!

“Your body knows what to do.”
Sure, but try telling the system that when they’re booking your induction at 40+0 even though you’ve already said no.

Birth prep isn’t about learning how to give birth.
It’s about staying calm, confident and in control when the system starts throwing curveballs.

Because your body does know what to do, you just need to know how to protect its space to do it. ✨

Everyone talks about breathing and playlists.
No one talks about the fact you’re more likely to have an intervention than not.

And that’s exactly why your birth prep has to go deeper than calm music and “just go with the flow.”

It’s not about “manifesting calm” or hoping for the best.
It’s about actually understanding what’s going on, so when things change, you still feel calm, confident and in control.

That’s what we do inside my monthly group antenatal course in Lytham.

We talk about what really happens in birth.
How to tell the difference between what’s necessary and what’s just routine.
How to ask questions and advocate for yourself with confidence.
And how to walk away from birth bursting with “I just did that” energy, not feeling broken.

Because birth trauma isn’t always about what happened, it’s about how you were made to feel.
And when you understand your choices, you don’t just survive birth, you shape it and you grow from it.

That’s what I’m seeing with the families I work with.
✨ They’re having spontaneous births that go against the national stats.
✨ They’re saying yes to interventions when they need them (not just because they were told to).
✨ And they’re embracing calm caesarean births that still feel theirs.

🙌🏻 First-time mums rave about this course because it changes how they see birth.
🫶🏻 Second-time mums book months ahead because they get it now.

You deserve to grow from your birth, not heal from it, and that’s exactly what Birth With Choice is here for.

Book your space for November today ♥️

📸 A huge thank you to my October group for letting capture these moments, your smiles and energy say it all.

Had a much needed postnatal massage with Janine today. 🥰

Wherever you are on your pregnancy journey, get yourself booked in and take some time out for you! 🫶🏻🤰🏻

✨️ Csection Scar Recovery and Back Pain Management ✨️

This week is one busy week in clinic with a lot of back pain management and scar tissue massage for csection recovery.

Im looking forward to fixing tummies and backs this week and supporting you all in becoming pain-free, correcting postures, and loosening tight and stuck scar tissue.

My favourite part about these sessions is seeing the progression made as we journey through each session.

We can't remove weeks, months, or years worth of tightness in one session. Now that would be magic ✨️

What we can do is create a plan, have consistency, and do the homework. And if you do this, the results will come.

I only have 3 appointments left for October. If you would like to start your journey, I look forward to welcoming you to clinic 😊

✨ Booking is open for October Bump & Brew✨

Last time, mums told us how much they NEEDED this.
How cosy it felt to just sit with other women who get it.
For so many, it was the first time they’d ventured out alone with their baby and the relief of walking into a room full of “me too” nods was everything.

This isn’t a class, it’s a supportive space for you to exhale, feel held, and fill up your cup.

Whether you’re…
🤍 Pregnant and feeling a little overwhelmed by what’s to come
🤍 A new mum craving connection and reassurance
🤍 Or just ready to start building that “mum village” everyone talks about

- this is for YOU!

And because these evenings have been such a success (we’ve literally run out of room!), we’re moving to a new venue: Lytham Assembly Rooms. Home of my Group Antenatal Courses!

A relaxed evening, a cosy drink in hand, and a circle of mums-to-be and new mums who just get it.

That’s Bump & Brew. 🫶🏻

POV: You prepped for birth and now you’re ✨fearless✨

Most mums walk into labour hoping for calm but end up blindsided when things get intense.

Confidence in birth isn’t luck.
It’s knowing what’s happening in your body, what your options really are, and how to say yes or no without guilt.

That’s exactly why I created The Confident Birth Reset.
It’s a week of my award-winning birth prep - delivered straight to you.
So you can:
🫶🏻 stop nodding along when you’re unsure
🫶🏻 feel proud of the decisions you make
🫶🏻 and walk out of birth with zero regrets

Comment RESET and I’ll DM it straight to you 💌

Because calm, confident, powerful births don’t “just happen”… they’re prepared for. ✨

Whether you’re…
🤍 Pregnant and secretly feeling a little overwhelmed by all the changes
🤍 A new mum craving connection and reassurance
🤍 Or just ready to start building that “mum village” everyone talks about

- this is your space. 🫶🏻

After my daughter was born, the postnatal depression I’d been brushing off for 3 years finally swallowed me whole.

It felt confusing because I’d had two empowering births, was surrounded by support in every direction… and yet I really wasn’t okay.

For five months I pushed a pram around, crying behind sunglasses. Avoiding friends and family. Wondering why I felt so broken when I had everything I’d ever wanted.

Getting help changed everything. It gave me my life back and it gave me a whole new purpose.

I certified as a Hypnobirthing teacher. I trained as a 3-Step Rewind practitioner. I started supporting families not just through their births, but through the emotional waves afterwards too.

Over this past year, I’ve been the voice at the end of the phone during the wobbles, the celebrations, and everything in between. I’ve been a safe space for mums and birth partners. I’ve offered the kind of support every mum deserves, but doesn’t always get.

I teamed up with Janine at to launch our sell-out Bump & Brew events, giving mums a space to connect before baby even arrived. I collaborated with Demi at so more families can have this time captured and treasured.

Somehow, I went on to win Antenatal Education Service of the Year for Manchester and the North West and I’ve had the privilege of supporting mums to heal from previous birth trauma.

I’ve also had a front row seat to the reality of what the maternity system can throw at them. I’ve seen women dismissed, gaslit, and left doubting their instincts. I’ve seen mental health brushed aside under the banner of “healthy mum, healthy baby.”

But I’ve also seen what’s possible when they’re supported differently.
When they’re given tools, education, and advocacy.
When they’re surrounded by people who believe their birth experience matters, because it does.

I can’t wait for this next year; Birth With Choice will be stepping into a whole new way of carrying this mission forward.

Thank you to every family who’s trusted me. You’re incredible. ✨

You deserve better.

Better than the stories you’ve heard and better than ‘okay’.

You deserve a birth experience that gives you the best start to your parenting journey and one that makes you feel unstoppable.

That is what I’m all about that’s exactly why I don’t sugarcoat those tricky conversations or shy away from telling you what you need to know.

Follow for daily birth tips and the support that stands strong, even when plans change. 🫶🏻

It’s okay to find the well-meaning messages really annoying.

So yes, you can mute the chat.
Set the boundaries, hide your phone even and go into your own little bubble.
You’re not being selfish and you’re not being rude.

You’re putting yourself first. 🫶🏻

Comment CALM and I’ll message you with some free support from afar. ✨
