HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAKE BIRTH BETTER! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

5 TODAY.

5!

As we celebrate our 5th, here are 5️⃣ things you may not know about MBB:

1️⃣ We miss the naivety of our early days when we thought we might be able to fund our work from fridge magnet sales!
2️⃣ We were born on Instagram after our co-founder Emma wrote a post about the difference between postnatal depression and postnatal PTSD - yes these squares can have very real meaning and purpose.
3️⃣ We are a totally virtual team spanning Amsterdam, Brighton, London, Kent, Norfolk, Gloucestershire, Huddersfield, Leeds and Wales and we have 19 children between us!
4️⃣ We really like circles and every time we design something new there's always... circles! Circles are the best.
5️⃣ Nikki and Emma can both burp the alphabet. Yup. It's beautiful.

One of our proudest accomplishments from the past 5 years is the trailblazing, taboo-breaking, game changing training we deliver. We see the impact and change we are driving here through praising feedback and solid survey stats.

What better way to celebrate with 5️⃣ free spots of Instant Access to our online training!

This self-paced study option gives you a 6-month access to all 5 modules of our Birth Trauma Training Programme through pre-recorded videos. You will be able to submit questions to us throughout.

Of course, we want to thank everyone who has made the last 5 years possible: our co-founders Becca & Emma, our early supporters, our organisation partners & friends, our Champions, our followers, everyone who shared their story and all our brilliant team members. Thank you Lauren, Trudi, Sakina, Jan, Lucy, Carly, Nikki, Emma, Becca and Evelien!

We are thrilled to celebrate our birthday with this beautiful illustration specially made for us by our Champion Moonlie .
