This is me last weekend, preparing for a couple for a private hypnobirthing course. It was such a lovely day and some much needed calm before half term fun began!

I've been quiet on here whilst I've been settling back in to secondary teaching. It's been an intense month helping prepare the students for their exams but loving being back in the classroom and being surrounded by people. I'm so lucky to be able to do both jobs and hopefully I'll be able to post a bit more over the next month.

Enjoy the last day of the bank holiday weekend,

BIG NEWS, SUNSHINE AND 4 🥳

Enjoying the sunshine today on my son's 4th birthday! 🌞 🦕 He's been looking forward to this day for so long, so much seems to happen at 4! Lots of change happening for him AND for me.

The big news is that next week I'm returning to be a secondary school teacher! 🤯🥰 There are so many reasons I've decided to go back after 6 years of working as a therapist and hypnobirthing teacher. I've love LOVED supporting couples and women on their journey into parenthood and I'm definitely not ready to leave that behind. Luckily my teaching post is part time so I can still see private clients for hypnobirthing refresher sessions and birth trauma but definitely worth booking early. I'm hoping to host workshops and of course continue with hypnobirthing parents meet ups. I will keep you posted on these.

Enjoy the gorgeous Bank Holiday weekend and wish me luck for next week 😅🥰

Happy Mother's Day to all of you, I hope you are having a lovely day with your families. I am lucky enough to have met so many incredible people on their journey into motherhood 🥰🤩🙌

I've been quite quiet on here the past few weeks as big things have been happening. I look forward to sharing with you soon.

I'm organising a last minute group Essentials Hypnobirthing Course (6 hours) in the next couple of weeks. This would be perfect for second/third (etc) time parents or someone in the last trimester. Get in touch if you are interested.

I had a wonderful message from Laura on Christmas Eve saying their baby had arrived and she has said I can share 🥰

"You said to also prepare myself in case she was a late arrival and she was, she really kept me waiting! She finally turned up today at 8.55am this morning. The plan had been to check my waters at triage and then return home for the community midwives to deliver but she had other ideas. They told me I was 4cm at 8.25am and she arrived 30 minutes later!

Thank you again for the refresher. My fourth and final sweep yesterday followed by a long walk, a nice bath listening to the Hypnobirthing tracks seemed to finally encourage a spontaneous arrival 12 days after “due date”. We’re just about to be discharged. I hope you have a lovely Christmas with your family. Laura ###"

Last night we had a night as a family of four. We looked through photos from the last year to remind ourselves of all the things we done, people we'd seen and chatted about what we'd learnt. It definitely helped me see what although 2021 was a tough year, that we still made some wonderful memories. I really hope you did too.

We finished off by playing some family games including a new one, pirate hide and seek because when two head strong little people don't agree you desperately try and come up with creative solutions ☠ 🙈 😆 Took us a while to find Elsy under the tree!

Wishing you all an healthy and happy 2022!

We need to stop talking about women's bodies especially postpartum...

I want to hear more about how she overcame her mental health struggles like postpartum depression and anxiety 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬.⁣

I want to hear more about how she was able to find her balance with a newborn 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬.⁣

I want to hear more about her feeding journey and support her through that 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬.⁣

Because to be honest,⁣
between bonding with her newborn and other children,⁣
learning to trust herself,⁣
taking the bad days in stride,⁣
learning how to deal with feeling overwhelmed,⁣
the least important thing is how she got her body back.⁣
⁣
So, tell me about ANYTHING but that.
