MUM’S THE WORD

Earlier this week I held my first Mum’s The Word taster session.

A space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings in this new chapter of life. All of its ups and downs. All the challenges and joys.

A place where babes were welcome and through creative exploration the chat moved quickly into the deeper realities of new parenthood. No sentimentality here.

One of the incredible mum’s sent me her beautiful artwork after the session with permission to share… it’s a celebration of the struggles and triumphs of her feeding journey. 💫 ‘We got there in the end’ 💫

As I deepen into this work it’s becoming clearer that my purpose is to create spaces that promote real conversation, connection and creativity in new parenthood. Supporting maternal mental health and tackling the loneliness and isolation that so many of us experience in this wild chapter of life.

I’m chatting to the good folks about creating a 6 week programme where we will cover different themes and explore various maternal journaling techniques over coffee and cake.

ONE STEP AT A TIME

I’ve had such a busy mind this September. Anyone else?!

I’m trying to practice what I preach a little more and have bought my journal down to the beach to try and order my thoughts and soak up some of this September sun.

I saw lots of footprints in the sand and it was exactly what I needed to hear.

Whether you’re pregnant, nap trapped under a newborn or juggling life with lots of small people, it’s a lot. So this is your reminder to take one step at a time.

Next Pregnant Pause creative journaling workshop is Monday 29th September. Grab your spot via link in my bio.

TAILORED HYPNOBIRTHING

Birth prep entirely catered to you.

Your preferences.
Your hopes.
Your fears.
Your style.
Your birth.
Your way.
Your tea.
Your sofa.
Your playlist.

It makes very little business sense for me to teach/share in this way 🫣🤣 but I every time I spend time with a birth team working like this I am more and more certain that this is how to prepare for your birth.

From the comfort and familiarity of your own home and with it just being the two of you, I create a safe container to explore your vulnerabilities and your desires for your birth and parenting journey beyond.

I think it’s fair to say these sessions are couples therapy as much as birth preparation!

Sure we cover all the tools and techniques so you can feel prepared, relaxed and confident going into labour, however your birth unfolds. But this is something more magical 💫

I come to you. We work with your availability. And I create a totally bespoke package to suit your circumstances and individual needs. After all, no two births are the same…

Drop me a message if you’d like to explore working together ❤️

New Baby Massage classes starting this October.

Join me for a 4 week baby massage course at SeaSpace in Porth.

Each week we will focus on a different area of their body from baby reflexology 🥹 to techniques to support common digestive issues and ways to make tummy time enjoyable! By the end of the course you will have a head to toe routine you can be practicing regularly that will support your baby’s physical development and emotional attachment.

It’s also just a lush thing to do for yourself. A real grounding moment of calm and a space away from the never ending to do list!

CAITLIN HERE

It’s been a minute since I did one of these and l’ve got a couple of new offerings and a spurt of energy since my youngest started school.

I’m Caitlin. Mum to two super energetic boys 🌀❤️

Birth changed me. I found the experience of giving birth both the hardest thing l’ve done and the most powerful badge of honour. I will never not find birthing bodies extraordinary and frequently disappear down a wormhole of birth videos and stories. Every birth is unique and there’s no right or wrong way to have a baby. Fact.

In the same breath I found the transition into parenthood some of my darkest days.
Particularly with my second baby; born during lockdown at the same time as my eldest received his autism diagnosis. I found the lack of support isolating - no baby classes, no village, and long days (even longer nights) stuck indoors with two tiny children pretty insane making.

Once the fog cleared (and lockdown lifted) | knew I wanted to do something to support people in this transitional chapter of life.

I truly believe with the right support, this can be the making of you.

💫 Tailored Hypnobirthing. Bespoke birth preparation from the comfort of your sofa.

💫 Maternal Journaling. Creative sessions to support your wellbeing in pregnancy and parenthood.

💫 Baby Massage. Bond with your baby while nurturing their development and tending to their nervous system and your own.

💫 Birth Trauma Release. Shift unwanted or uncomfortable feelings surrounding your birth, pregnancy or postnatal journey.

You’re incredible and we’re not meant to do this stuff on our own.

Let me know how I can support you? ❤️

COMMUNITY, CONNECTION, CREATIVITY

Pregnant Pause this evening was just the tonic for this wild weather we’re having.

This week we explored automatic drawing. Letting our hands work freely without any sense of striving for a ‘finished product’ and allowing our subconscious to let loose on the page.

The chatter and tea flowed as conversations leapt from birth preferences, how partners were adjusting, necessary pregnancy products v marketing ploys, heartburn remedies and the positive power of community in pregnancy.

Join us for the next Pregnant Pause on Monday 29th September, 6:30pm - 8pm

Tickets are £13.50 (snacks, materials & journal included)

AUTOMATIC DRAWING

For Monday’s Pregnant Pause we’ll be having a go at Automatic Drawing.

Automatic Drawing is a Surrealist art technique. Pure flow. No rules. No pressure. Just your hand moving. Your mind softening.

It’s a great practice for pregnancy, easing any stress or anxiety, and encouraging you to connect with yourself and your growing baby.

Pregnant Pause
Monday 15th September
6:30pm - 8pm
£13.50 (all materials provided)
Cosy vibes.
Meet other pregnant folks.
Tea and cake.

MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH

It’s maternal mental health week.

Promoting the screening of Witches has been an opportunity to have some really meaningful conversations with people about their experiences of how parenthood affected their own mental health, or of someone they know. Opening up the conversation is such a powerful way to connect and find commonalities.

It is thought 1 in 5 of us will experience mental health issues during pregnancy or postnatally. (I suspect the actual number is greater).

This photo is from the depths of Covid when I had a newborn and my eldest son’s delayed development was beginning to throw up anxiety inducing question marks. There was no support, services had shut down, no childcare, our family finances were pretty shakey; some of my darkest days the fall out of which I’m probably still processing.

A huge motivation for wanting to bring this film to Cornwall has been to explore the threads of darkness that unite so many of us. And to energise us to keep the conversation going, knowing that even though it can feel deeply lonely and isolating, there are lots of us who have gone through or are going through similar.

WITCHES SCREENING

I’m thrilled to be bringing this vital film, made by a dear pal and creative genius, Elizabeth Sankey, to the South West.

Witches is a deeply personal film which explores the compelling connection between postpartum mental health illnesses and the history and portrayal of witches throughout pop culture.

When: Tuesday 20th May
Venue: Project 83, Newquay
Doors: 7pm
Screening: 7:30pm
Running time: 90mins
Ticket: £7.50
Book tickets: budsbirthing.com/events

Please come. Bring a friend. This is an important one. Maternal mental health is something we need to keep talking about and deepen our understanding of.

PREGNANCY RELAXATION DOWNLOADS

It’s been one month of hosting my free weekly online pregnancy relaxation sessions and I’m so enjoying holding this space for you. Thank you to everyone who’s dropped in.

A few of you lovely lot have asked if you could buy downloadable recordings of the sessions so, much technological faffing later, your wish is my command. 😅

I’ve just uploaded my first script - The Mirror - written and read by me.

You can buy and download it for £3.50 via my website (link in bio). Hopefully this feels an affordable amount (price of a coffee kinda vibe) as I want this to be accessible to as many who want it. I’ll be uploading a new recording each week so you can build a little library of relaxation tracks to unwind to over the course of your pregnancy.

The live Monday evening sessions will remain free to come along to. But this way if you don’t make the session, you can still download the recording afterwards.

Happy relaxing ###
