With new local covid restrictions coming into force there’s a concern NHS trusts will also start to follow suit and restrict birth partner access to appointments and visiting again. Birth Rights and several other organisations are already all over this - urging NHSE to stop trusts imposing these restrictions again! Fantastic work👏🏻

Birthrights alongside Pregnant then Screwed, Make Birth Better, Birth Bliss Academy, the Fatherhood Institute and AIMS have today urged NHSE to issue clearer guidance to Trusts about the need to remove visiting restrictions for companions of choice in maternity services. The letter follows news at t...

OK ladies mocktails at the ready – DM me to book your place on the Hypnobirthing Happy Hour! It’s time to start feeling positive about birth!

🚫Please DON’T attend this free online session if…

❌You’d rather remain feeling anxious, scared and unprepared about the prospect of having to give birth.

❌You don’t want loads of practical tools and techniques at your disposal to help you during labour

❌You want to go through labour with a birth partner who feels as s**t scared as you do and quite frankly has no idea how to support you.

❌You don’t want signposting to research and information to help you make informed decisions about your birth.

🤔 Hmmm didn’t think so! So if you’d like to understand how you flip all the above on it’s head – then join my happy hour to find out how hypnobirthing makes you feel confident, empowered and even excited about your birth!

❌No va**na whispering – I promise!

❗️This is the last taster session of the year due to the arrival of my own baby. So if you’re expecting your baby, Jan, Feb or March please sign up so you can find out about my final course of 2020 which starts on the 12th November. 🙌🏻

DM to book your place. You won’t regret it x

What an amazing two days spent with fam and Anna le Grange, IBCLC lactation consultant, aka breastfeeding guru and all-round gorgeous human! Once I've completed my training with Anna I'll be a qualified Mindful Breastfeeding Practitioner🤱🏻👏🏻

I can't wait to be able to support you with the practical side of feeding e.g. latch and positioning but also really importantly help you prepare mentally for feeding your baby! Just like birth, stress, fear and anxiety hugely impact the mind body connection therefore impacting our feeding experiences. This breastfeeding course is different as it will prepare for a calm and connected feeding experience. AMAZING!

On a personal level I can't wait to put all I have learnt into practice when feeding baby number two and really excited to share all of this knowledge with you very soon. x

In addition, we are extending our visiting time on our antenatal/postnatal ward areas to invite partners to visit once a day for up to two hours.

How are your children reacting to your pregnancy? Max is two - he knows something is going on and there’s a baby in my tummy but not sure if he’s really grasped that soon he won’t be the only kid around here 😂.

Apologies for dodgy camera work.

⁠
▪️How on earth does hypnobirthing help you change the way you think and feel about birth?⁠⁠
⁠
▪️What’s the mind- body connection all about and how can it impact your birth?

▪️I’m feeling anxious and worried about my birth (covid is not helping either) can I seriously look forward to birthing my baby?
⁠
▪️What practical tools will it equip me with so I’m ready for birth - whatever path it takes? ⁠
⁠
▪️What’s included in the course and what does the course cover?⁠

There's absolutely no obligation to book - at the very least you'll walk away with some really interesting info about birth and understand what hypnobirthing is all about.

Clients can start my course from 20weeks onwards - so if you’re ⁠approaching that milestone or now beyond that mark please join the taster. It’s not too early🙌🏻

How was your weekend? Super busy or super chilled? Did you manage to make time for you? I always say to my clients when they sign up to my hypnobirthing course that they need to be prepared to commit to doing the homework. BUT it’s the BEST kinda homework - because a huge chunk of it is focused on relaxation. Now I’ve got your attention - not sounding so bad now is it 😉.

In this fast paced, always on world, we rarely put time aside or even understand what it takes to truly relax. This course makes you make time to do just that. To learn how to relax deeply so that when you go into labour you can relax instinctively. You will feel in tune with your body - working with it rather than against it - for a calm and confident birth 👏🏻x

Hello world! 😍

This ⬆️ Of course a healthy baby matters BUT news flash - when we say ALL that matters is a healthy baby that just isn’t right! You, the mother, matter too!

The birth you experience will stay with you for the rest of life - and we want to make sure it stays with you for all the right reasons. We want to make sure that you go into your labour feeling confident, empowered and strong and that you look back on the experience positively.

So how do you go into your birth feeling like this? Educating yourself, building knowledge, understanding your rights and equipping yourself with lots of tools and coping strategies for birth are just a few...

So what are you waiting for! 😀 DM me if you’d like to find out more about my upcoming hypnobirthing sessions! Remember you - the mother - matter too and don’t let anyone let you think otherwise!
