🌻 Flexibility is part of the process 🌻

Birth plans change. Circumstances change. Support changes.

Responding in real time isn’t failure…it’s strength and courage realised 💛

🌻 Parent life 🌻

Okay, but seriously how…open to suggestions 😆

🌻 Silver is the new black 🌻

I’ve coloured my hair for over 20 years.
Mostly for fun. Recently though…it’s become another ‘job’, and I have enough of them!!

The grey at the front is getting BOLD.
Which, historically, women are not encouraged to be 🙃

So instead of panicking about whether it “ages me” or looks like I’ve stopped making an effort…I’m just going to let it grow.

You’ve heard of a silver fox.
I’m trialling silver vixen.
(Admittedly slightly tired and occasionally chaotic).

I am fully aware men just quietly go grey and nobody gathers them for a debrief. I’ll not be writing a press release about this 😆

It’s hair. Not a moral decision ✌🏻🕺🏼🪩

🌻 You have time 🌻

Urgency is often treated as ‘neutral’ in maternity care.

But you’re allowed time - to think, to ask, to just be.

Pressure isn’t the same as importance.

🌻 Make it make sense 🌻

No further comment.

🌻 It’s okay 🌻

You’re not failing. You’re trying to adapt - and perhaps without much support.

I see this a lot in pregnancy, early parenthood, and even later.
People doing their best in systems that don’t slow down 💛

🌻 Siobhán 🌻

When you know you were there - but can’t quite believe the words are about you 🥹 supporting this family wasn’t about doing more, but about being with.

Holding the emotional weight, reading the room, and knowing when to step in…and when to stay quiet 🤫 I never want to be the main character in someone else’s story - my aim is to be present, steady, and mostly invisible.

Birth is intense, vulnerable, and powerful - and I feel so very grateful to do this work, with families who let me show up exactly as I am 🤍🌻

(Coffee and baby cuddles pending.)

🌻 Working with me 🌻

If you’re new here - hey 🥰

I support people in pregnancy, birth and postpartum, in ways that centre choice, consent, nervous systems and snacks!

…sometimes that’s in person.
…sometimes it’s virtual.
…sometimes it’s just a one conversation power hour to help things feel clearer.

There’s no “right” level of support…just what feels useful to you…no pressure, no performance 💛

🌻 Birth prep = unique 🌻

I did some prep recently for an antenatal session that reminded me why personalised birth support is so important.

Before we even met, I spent time sitting with their intake form - noticing not just preferences, but patterns: what helps when things feel intense, what reassurance actually lands, what makes someone feel safe and held 🫶🏼

I’m not trying to cram in as much as possible. I’m trying to create a space where someone can show up as themselves - without masking, without rushing, without feeling like they have to ‘do birth right’.

Every family brings their own history, nervous system, strengths and worries into the room. My prep reflects that. Cookie cutter support isn’t helpful.

Thoughtful, flexible, person-centred care - always 🌻

🌻 Snacks first 🌻

Opinions later (actually, maybe never) ✌🏻
