Just breathe 🤍

It sounds simple, but in labour, it’s everything ✨

As a midwife, one of the first things I do when someone arrives in labour is gently bring them back to their breathing.

Because when contractions are building and everything feels intense, your breath can either work against you… or completely support you.

Breathing helps to:
🤍 Keep your body as relaxed as possible
🤍 Reduce tension (which can reduce pain)
🤍 Bring oxygen to you and your baby
🤍 Give you something to focus on when things feel overwhelming

And most importantly, it helps you feel more in control!

I’ve seen it so many times…
That moment when someone slows their breathing, softens their body, and everything just feels a little more manageable ✨

It’s not about doing it perfectly,
It’s about having something to come back to, again and again.

Because in labour, your breath is one of your most powerful tools 🤍

Save this for when you need that reminder ✨

Hello April,
✨ C-section Awareness Month ✨

A reminder that birth doesn’t have to look a certain way to be powerful.

Caesarean birth is not the “easy option”
It is strength.
It is resilience.
It is courage in its rawest form.

I’ve supported so many women through caesarean births, planned, unplanned, calm, and everything in between and every single one of them has shown just how incredible the female body and mind truly are!

And personally, my own journey has only deepened that respect.

2 Emergency c sections.
Both bringing my babies safely into the world.
Both with their difficulties and slow recoveries.
But I would do it all over again..

Because behind every scar is a story.
One of strength, love, and doing whatever it takes to bring your baby safely into the world 🤍

If you’ve had a c section, your experience matters.
Your story matters.

I’d love you to share your experience below 👇🏻

Let’s normalise all birth stories, because every single one deserves to be heard ✨

✨ HONESTY WHEN IT COMES TO BABY MASSAGE ✨

I don’t expect quietness
I don’t expect everyone to take part fully every session
I don’t expect full classes every week
I don’t expect my mats/equipment to stay clean

What I do expect is:
Babies crying
Babies feeding
Nappies for me to collect at the end of the class
Coffee cups to wash and put away
Mum chat and honest conversations

This class is just as much for YOU as it is for your baby!

I have 2 young kids, I get what it’s like. Everyday can feel like a battle but know I have coffee, real expectations when it comes to babies and also a lot of time to listen.

Limited spaces available for April!

I don’t care ✨

Throughout my career, I’ve seen how many women worry about things that truly don’t matter in labour.

I don’t care if you haven’t shaved.
- I haven’t either.

I don’t care if you poo during labour.
- It means baby is so close!

I don’t care what you look like.
- I definitely look worse than you!

I don’t care if you scream or cry.
- Let it out, it might even help.

I don’t care if you ask me for pain relief.
- You need it, I’ll get it 🫶

These are all completely normal parts of birth.

But I DO CARE that you feel supported, listened to, and safe throughout your experience.

And I care about how you feel when you look back on your birth.

You deserve to feel informed, respected, and confident, not worried about things that don’t matter.

So gal, don’t attempt to shave, poo, cry and stick your hair up. I’ll be there every step of the way!

✨ CLAIRE & CIARAN ✨

Supporting this couple was extra special for me.
They were clients but also friends.

Claire and Ciaran trusted me in helping them prepare for their birth and for their baby and for that, I’ll be forever grateful.

They both joined me in Antenatal classes where we discussed stages of labour, pain relief, nappy care, cord care and feeding their baby!
Claire then joined me during my Aquanatal classes! (She was in fact the first person to ever to sign up!)

I have loved every second of these classes together and I cannot wait to see you both as parents.

Thank you so much for beautiful feedback!

Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

Motherhood has been the most beautiful, challenging, and transformative journey of my life. This year marks my 5th Mother’s Day, and every year I feel like I grow a little more, learn a little more, and understand motherhood in a deeper way.

My babies have taught me patience, love, resilience, and perspective in ways nothing else ever could. They have also taught me the love and need for caffeine!

“There is no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one.”
- Jill Churchill

To my own mum, the incredible women who attend my classes, to my friends, colleagues and to every mother navigating this journey in her own way, Happy Mother’s Day.

Whether today is full of cuddles, chaos, reflection, or a mix of everything in between, I hope you feel appreciated for the amazing job you’re doing 🤍

Motherhood is a journey we grow into, together.

✨ International Women’s Day ✨

I feel incredibly lucky to spend my life surrounded by women.

Women bringing life into the world.
Women supporting other women through some of their most vulnerable and powerful moments.
Women who show strength, softness, resilience and courage every single day.

Midwifery has given me the privilege of witnessing women do the most extraordinary things, often without even realising their own power.

But today is also about the women beside me.

The colleagues who hold the line in a system that can be incredibly challenging.
The friends who remind me who I am outside of work and motherhood.
The mothers, daughters, sisters and mentors who shape the way we care for one another.

And the women who trust me with their pregnancies, births and babies!
That trust will never be something I take for granted.

Supporting women isn’t just my job, it’s the heart of everything I do.

Today and every day, I’m proud to stand alongside you 🤍
