So blessed to have gathered with women yesterday, in celebration, love, grief, and joy.

To have shared this with my daughter (and my son who hovered on the edges) is an extra blessing.

I want them to know about the power and the beauty of a community of authentic women, sharing their truth and being held in sisterhood.

Thanks to for holding space, and to and for the community 🫶🏻✨💕

I've stepped away from socials a fair bit over the summer, but I'm still here if you'd like to chat!
You can book a call through my website, or send me a message.
I've got availability to support more births from September so if you're growing a baby and want gentle but strong support, care and companionship through any of it, get in touch 🫶🏻

I don’t share birth outcomes anymore — because the outcome isn’t the whole story. A “good” birth isn’t about how it unfolded on paper, but how she felt through it all. When a mother feels empowered, supported, and respected — that’s a positive birth. Every time. 💥✨

If you want to talk specifics then of course get in touch. I'll gladly tell you about the many women I've supported to have beautiful undisturbed births, or to achieve powerful and beautiful vaginal or surgical births when their plans have had to change. I'm not keeping secrets I just don't love the reduction to statistics!

Let’s stop judging solely by outcome and start honouring the experience 💕✨

🔥Mindset for birth🔥
Birth is not just physical, the subconscious mind plays a crucial role. Subconscious fear can disrupt birth when the body's fight-or-flight response releases adrenaline, inhibiting oxytocin production and stalling progress.

Bringing your fears into consciousness, having strategies to reduce fear and help you feel calm, and a team who understands what's really important to you can reduce fear, allowing labor to flow!

If you can process and address fear it can help you to reclaim birth, find self-trust, and inner strength.

I've been off the radar so the algorithm will probably put me back on the bottom of the pile. I've been parenting, resting a painful back, supporting my clients and just living my life! Last night I was having a lil soak in my dear friend's hot tub, it was cold outside but so lovely and warm in there. Kids were tucked up in bed, nothing needed doing in that moment. Bliss ☺️

How can you find some rest time and treat yourself with gentleness today?

Brand new leaf incoming on my favourite house plant!
I get giddy when this babe sprouts forth new life 🌱🌈

And guess what? I don't need to hurry it up, try and prize it open, or force it out. It'll do it's thing when it's good and ready! Funny how nature just works like that, eh!?

Eight wonderful women gathered with me in a circle this evening, I am beyond grateful for their generosity of spirit, openness, vulnerability and strength. It was warm, cosy, comfy and beautiful.

I find such healing, replenishment, and comfort from joining together in circle with women, I genuinely feel it's essential for me to function as a woman, mother and doula, and especially as a motherless mother. It's a dream come true to hold a space of my own and bring women together in this way.

This weekend I'll be off to Suffolk to be held in absolute safety, love, joy, connection and curiosity my soul sister , The Queen of women's gatherings. I can't wait to see what unfolds ✨💞

This is your birth, your baby, your family, and your health.

No one is more invested in this pregnancy than you, and no one knows your unique circumstances and history as well as you do. No one else has the instinctive and Intrinsic connection with your baby and body that you do.

In order to feel empowered for birth, you need to understand your rights. Frustrating as it may be, during routine maternity care you are pretty likely to encounter pressure, coercion, misinformation and fear mongering at some point during pregnancy or birth.

You need to be prepared with information and strategies to ensure that your wishes are heard, your autonomy is respected and your choices are followed. And this goes for ALL types of birth, in all locations.

It is possible to have the empowered, ecstatic, joyful birth that you deserve, but it takes some work! Message me if you'd like to chat more ✨
