If you know me you know I am a huge fan of having worn them since they first started out! The last piece of summer school prep is always shoes as my kids feet grow, what seems like, a whole size over summer. Especially important as this doula is on call and school admin is quite the list with 3 children! Today they arrived and after years of the boys wearing them I got all their sizes right first time 🙏
This week I’ve had two people ask about Leo’s barefoot shoes and delved into convo so felt a post for the gram was worth it 🤪

Are you ready for school? Where did summer go? 👀

(Not an AD just a huge fan)

I find myself quiet and mute. The birth world is shattered. It is suffering. I am suffering.
I give myself to (mostly) women everyday in support of them and their voices, their wishes and their human rights. Only for those hopes and I would say simple asking’s to be stomped on and disrupted. My heart bleeds with the everyday stories I hear. Of course there are those stories which leave me feeling “yes yes yes” but the lows are low and leave a mark on the surface of all other stories.
My only wish? Birth is unpredictable. I wish for you to be respected, heard and your journey to meeting your baby shrouded in that partnership. That your team support you and fill you with safety so any choices you make come from a place of informed decision making, evidence and individualised care. This is the bare minimum.
But the bare minimum seems to be so sadly rarely met. How can the bar be so low?
This is entrenched in a tremendous amount of issues - from political to societal.
The only advice I can give is to have a supportive team, do at least SOME evidence based reading, watch real birth videos and prioritise looking after your body and mind so you can make your journey yours.
Do not be silenced.
Pioneers of birth rise up!
RIP Michel Odent.

Appreciation post for some fellow Malaysians who have opened up the most amazing restaurant Hitchin way. I’ve never had such good food! Can not wait to come back. Was lovely for my mum to speak Malay for her lunch experience 🥰 Just amazing and the kids loved it too and learnt how to respectfully shake hands with their elders 💓

I’ve been very open about my journey with my middle son. I’ve worked a lot with him and I now can see how he struggles to work his left brain with his right. He is left brain dominant! I am throwing myself into studies and books all about how to work on the two sides of the brain working together.

Usually when we sit down and do English comprehension (he hates this) we argue, it takes ages and usually he cries. Recently I found a method where we both just clicked together. He understood it, we didn’t argue and dare I say it was enjoyable.

It’s a big journey.

If anyone has any questions, can relate or wants a virtual cuddle dm me.

Current book read : The Whole-Brain Child.

I’m all ready and saw my first reflexology client today working through my case studies 🥰 I adored seeing my client totally surrender and relax almost immediately. It’s incredible what reflexology can do, what you can feel and how it can open doors you didn’t know needed opening. I’ve got 6 more case study clients this week and I can not wait 🥰

Can you have this pregnant? With me yes 🙌 I have enough years under my belt (16 years to be exact) specialising in looking after pregnant clients. I’ve always known the reflex points but now I know how to truly work on the important ones 🙏 We will have a chat and as long as it’s after your first scan.

Do I treat you postnatally? Yes yes yes!

What about all women? Hell yeah!!!!

So why not give it a try with the special £25 offer? All you need to do is fill out a consultation form, touch base with me over the next few days and hopefully rebook 😍

Cleaning and checking the birth pool after a rental 👶 I love when babies are born in this pool as this guy was 🤩 All babies born in the pool get their name, date of birth and time of birth written on it. I saw someone else doing it and loved the idea. It feels so special to remember 🧡 Now my little water baby helps me clean and check the pool 🧡🧡🧡
