Welcome to the world, baby Calvin! 💙

This little guy made a calm and confident arrival at home in the early hours of a July morning. His mum absolutely smashed it, using her breathing, her TENS, and the pool (which she described as pure euphoria) to stay in control right to the end.

The build-up included ice cream at the local Italian, a slow wander round a golf course, some comedy heckling from strangers, and a bowl of pasta for good measure , it all kicked off properly on the Friday night, and Calvin was born just after 1am.
She stayed so connected, grounded, and in tune with her body the whole way through. It was fast, smooth, and full of those little moments that make birth truly memorable, Including rummaging around in the pool to find baby when he came out so chilled he didn’t even cry.

So proud of how she brought everything she learned into it, and so pleased I got to be part of her journey....again!!

Welcome Calvin, you’re going to be so loved. 💙

Truth bomb... babies do not need a hat put on as soon as they're born.

It hinders the bonding process and can delay the birth of the placenta.

Fins out more by swiping through.

Did your midwife put a hat on your baby?

Let me know, and I'll tell you about a challenging discussion I had with my midwife.

Is anyone else a fan of The Wizard of Oz?

Well, this is my more modern approach to ruby slippers!

I just love this quote as I really feel this when it comes to the women I am lucky to support during their pregnancy's and journeys to motherhood.

I get so many messages once the baby has arrived, with statements like...

"I couldn't have done it without you,"

"The birth would never have gone the way we'd hoped if it wasn't for your course."

"We owe it all to you,"

Now, as lovely as these quotes are, and my goodness they mean the world to me, but really, I need to stress just how much each and every woman I work with has the competency, the strength, the ability and the power to birth in the best way for her and her baby.

All I do is pass on information, and I like to think, provide safety and support, and work a wee bit like a birthy cheerleader.

I help them to learn that they hold all of the wisdom, the instinctive intuition to birth, the only thing they need me for is to help build their confidence to see their power for themselves.

It's them, the birthers who hold the power, who deserve the credit.

Not me, never me. Always and only ever them!

💜 Birth partners – you matter more than you know 💜

Supporting someone through birth can feel overwhelming – but it doesn’t have to be. That’s why I love sharing the U.M.B.R.E.L.L.A. guide – a simple, memorable way for birth partners to feel confident, connected, and truly useful during labour. 💪👶

➡ Upright positions
➡ Massage and movement
➡ Breathing techniques
➡ Rest and energy boosts
➡ And yes, even knowing when to suggest a loo break or a hug!

These aren’t just tips – they’re powerful tools that make a real difference.

🌟 Want to go deeper and learn how to really support your partner through every stage of labour and beyond? My Birth and Baby Prep online group course is the perfect next step.

✅ Practical.
✅ Honest.
✅ Supportive.
✅ For both of you.

💻 Join us this September and feel ready for birth together.

🌸 Welcome to the world, baby Nora! 🌸

I'm beyond thrilled to welcome little Nora to the world and to the Through Birth and Beyond family! 💫

Her amazing mum Emma, one of my previous Hypnobirthing clients, gave birth at home in the most beautiful way.

After giving birth in her car last time (yes, really!), Emma had the empowered home birth she hoped for.

And here’s the best bit… 💕

Nora was caught by her daddy on Father’s Day no less!

Who needs a present when you catch your new daughter as she's being born? 🤣🎁

Emma, thank you for being a joy to work with and for letting me be a small part of your journey again. Your story is incredible and so inspiring 💜

I love my job, but most of all, I love the people I get to work with.

This week has been beautiful, hard, but beautiful!

Teaching my Hypnobirthing and Antenatal course to multiple families at Scottish Water,and sending another 2 couples off into parenthood feeling empowered, confident and supported.

I never tire of it!

Receiving little notes like this means the world to me! I appreciate it so much. I love how my clients feel that I have their backs and will be there for them to help them navigate an often challenging journey through the maternity system.

Feeling ever so thankful on this beautiful Saturday morning.
