why I’ve created my 1:1 Birth throughout motherhood Empowerment Calls, heart-led sessions designed to nurture and uplift you wherever you are on your journey 👇👇👇

Pregnancy and birth are sacred, life-changing journeys, not just for baby but for mum too. I believe, with all my heart, that every woman deserves to feel empowered, informed, and held through this transformation.

I’m deeply passionate about supporting women emotionally and spiritually throughout pregnancy, birth and beyond. In a world where fear-based narratives and medical pressure often dominate, I stand for something different: trust in the body, belief in your inner wisdom and view birth as a powerful, natural rite of passage.

During our time together, we can:
✨ Explore any fears, anxieties, or past traumas around birth
✨ Manifest your perfect birth setting with intention and confidence
✨ Create affirmations and tools to help you trust your body
✨ Talk through any questions—from the physiological to the emotional
✨ Build a space where you feel heard, validated, and deeply supported
🌟Share Sources for information, information during this transition is the key

These calls aren’t just for pregnancy, they’re also here for mamas too! If you’re navigating motherhood and feel overwhelmed, confused, or just need a non-judgemental ear, I’m here for you. These sessions can be completely tailored to your needs.

Whether it’s sleep struggles, feeding worries, emotional challenges, or simply needing to talk to someone who understands, I’ll be here with open ears, real support and guidance backed by independent, holistic information, not fear or pressure.

With an HND in Child Psychology, I also help parents understand how their babies/children think, behave, and grow. From emotional development to behaviour challenges, I can offer insights to help you feel more confident and connected in your parenting journey.

Investment: £55 per hour
DM to book, or tag a mama who needs this kind of support. You don’t have to do this alone. ❤️

So the truth is out...

All murdered by the psychopaths in white coats 🙃🤷🏼‍♀️

NOT by the woman they used as a scape goat to cover their arses...

Wonder how many more babies they failed....

My heart aches for the parents 💔 😞

This is why it's so important to recognise when to and when not to engage with the medical system.

Did you know that adults don’t sleep all night? We tend to wake up, at least a little bit, to roll over, take a sip of water, use the loo, or elbow a snoring partner. We also only spend 6-8 hours sleeping. For some reason, we expect babies to sleep for 12 hours solid. This is one of those double standards that makes me pull an unflattering, confused face. Babies wake at night for lots of reasons, just like adults do. They’re hot, cold, hungry, thirsty, scared, disorientated, have a wet nappy, an itch they can’t scratch, they heard a noise, they’re lonely, or they want a cuddle.

All of the above reasons are valid. You would wake up for the same reasons. The difference is that you have learned how to help yourself go back to sleep.

Shared as its important 🫶💙

Today is International Men's Day.

Men can be traumatised by witnessing a particularly difficult birth, fearful that they are about to lose their partner or baby. Very often they are not supported, and have to go through this alone. During the birth trauma inquiry, we heard moving testimony from dads about how isolated they were after a birth trauma, and how hard it was to find help. Yet about 1% of dads develop PTSD after birth (about 6,000 a year), and others carry the trauma with them.

We work with Scott Mair of Fatherhood Solutions, who holds a Zoom drop-in for dads on the first Wednesday of each month. The next one is 4 December at 7.30.

We also have two dads on our peer support team, Steve and Dan - please do reach out to them if you feel in need of help on support@birthtraumaassociation.org.uk

Join our online event for dads seeking support and understanding after experiencing birth trauma.
