This got lots of love and laughs on stories, I thought it deserved a grid post 😆.
I've decided that in 2025 I'm going to be unapologetically me. Sometimes, that means carrying around a tote bag with b@ on it 🤣
My teenage daughters were just glad it wasn't our local McDonald's 😄

♡ Birth Story ♡

I first met this incredible woman when she was 38+6! A little later than we normally start hypnobirthing 😅
But it felt exactly right for her. We completed the course over 2 sessions. She already knew exactly what was right for her and her baby, and was full of positivity about her birth. I just knew that advocating for herself would not be a problem. Read until the last slide to see how she did this, even at the most vulnerable moment.
I am in complete awe of her! ♡♡♡

♡ Baby Massage ♡

You may have seen on my stories that I am thinking about adding baby massage to my offerings. I qualified as an infant massage instructor in 2020 and taught it in a group setting until last year. Recently I have been teaching some of the course to the families I support 1:1.
I would love to offer this more widely....but with a twist!
I want to combine my knowledge as a breastfeeding peer supporter, infant massage instructor and postnatal doula into one package. This will look different for each family as I tailor it to your needs.
♡ Weekly visits for 4 weeks
♡ Learn baby massage
♡ Have space to share how you are feeling
♡ Support to navigate the 4th trimester
♡ Feeding support if needed
♡ A spare pair of hands for a couple of hours
♡ In your own home

Does this sound like it would be useful?
Or would you rather learn baby massage in a group?
I would LOVE if you could pop your answer in my poll below.

♡ Testimonial ♡

"I genuinely don't think we could have meddled through without Linzi by our side. Thank you so much for all your support and even coming to visit Lewis after he was born." 
Nicole & David xx

When I received this feedback I may have shed a wee tear. It honestly means so much to hear how being a tiny part of someone's journey can have such a positive impact. It was an absolute pleasure working with Nicole and David. I have loved watching their confidence soar and hearing how amazing they were at advocating for themselves. Lewis is just a wee dream and a very lucky baby to have such wonderful parents.
Thank you for your lovely words Nicole and David. Xx

♡ Feedback ♡

This makes my heart sing!
Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love and believe in what I do.
Testimonials like this just put even more fire in my belly! Everyone should feel informed and prepared for birth. There are so many ways to prepare, so many courses, books and online content...
So when someone chooses me, I want them to really see the value and difference it can make.

Thank you for these beautiful words and scrummy cuddles Elaine. They mean so much 😘 xx

Some parents choose to share a bed (known as co-sleeping) with their babies. Read our advice on how to co-sleep more safely.

Every part of your body and your baby has been perfectly designed. Just look at this umbilical cord!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
For anyone who doesn't know, the umbilical cord attaches your baby to the placenta.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
They commonly have 3 vessels - 2 arteries and a vein.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The blood, oxygen and nutrients are taken from the placenta to the baby, and then the deoxygenated blood is returned back to your placenta.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This cord is literally carrying everything your baby needs to grow!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When your baby is born, the cord (and placenta) remains filled with a significant amount of blood. Where possible, this blood will be given time to move into the baby, known as optimal cord clamping. This gives your baby up to 1/3 more blood than if the cord is cut immediately!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The cord will then be cut, (PS there are other options such as Lotus Birth) it will shrivel and dry up in the first few days after birth, usually falling off in the first 2 weeks.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Our bodies are incredible.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How do you feel about umbilical cords? Some people freak out about them, which is understandable if you have never seen one before 😂 Personally I LOVE them they are fascinating! ​​​​​​​​
