Born to Birth Cornwall

27/09/2025

Two and half years in, I still get messages from groups of friends that met at Bump Brunch (now Bump Club) hanging out with their now toddlers, and it’s a beautiful thing.

Finding some friends who have started noticing these same things too, who are thinking about the same things, and are on the same pregnancy journey as you can make everything so much easier.

At the very least, you feel less crazy.
At the very best, you’ll have a crew to go through it all with.

That’s what The Bump Club does: around our coffee table, you’ll meet, chat and connect with other parents-to-be who know what it’s like to be you.

Sound good? We welcome all pregnant people at any stage of the journey, so whether you’re 2 weeks in or 2 weeks over, we’d love to meet you.

Bump Club is free to attend (just pay for your order), but booking is essential. To join us next Saturday, grab your space here…

Why would you need me? Good question. Let's dig into it.

Yes, humans have been giving birth for millions of years.
Yes, your body & brain are designed to do this.
But how much do you understand & trust the process?

We've grown-up in a world that's encouraged us to turn to experts, before ourselves. We live in a way that prioritises technology over our bodies' natural abilities. We exist in a culture that focuses on avoiding risk over pursuing possibility.

And the more I work in the birth world, the more I see this impacting the way people navigate their pregnancies, births and postpartum journeys.

The reality is that modern life is unlikely to have set you up for the powerful, positive birth you want and deserve; achieving it needs preparation.

That's where I come in.

My antenatal classes, social spaces & doula support will never tell you what do to; they something far more powerful than that. Our discussions, questions & explorations give you the tools and time to reconnect with the knowledge and instincts you need to do all of the things you're capable of in the birth and baby space.

Be that birthing, feeding or parenting: whatever route you take, positivity starts with understanding, options and confidence.

Giving you that is what I do best. That's why you need me.

Sound good? DM me or comment below to start the conversation that'll make your birth & baby journey so much better.

Preparing for birth isn't about controlling it...

Understanding all of your options, exploring your preferences and building a toolkit to do things your way makes things so much easier.

Humans aren't meant to do the birth & baby journey alone; my mission is to make sure you don't have to...

From low-key social stuff, to game-changing courses and 1-2-1 doula support, I spend my working days making pregnancy, birth and postpartum life better for families in Cornwall.

No fluff, no woo-woo, no crystals: just the knowledge, skills & insights that help you see how born for this you are.

Curious? Follow me and get a flavour for the way I help or DM me for the chat that could be the beginning of everything.

Pregnant? Here's three reasons to come to Bump Club...

1. You want to meet other parents-to-be...
2. So that you can talk about this wild right with people who GET it...
3. And you pick my doula brain about the questions & worries you have.

And that's not even mentioning the fact that it's free to attend, fuelled by the Buttermarket's excellent coffee, and (if you choose to stay on for a natter with your new preggo buddies) top notch lunch time foods.

Okay, that's six reasons. Fancy it? Then join us!
Bump Club is free to attend (just pay for what you order) but booking is essential so I know how many seats I need.

Of course you're excited to be pregnant, give birth and have your baby.

BUT that doesn't mean it's always easy.
BUT it also doesn't mean you should shy away from it.

Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, this phase of life is going to reshape and redefine your whole existence and it's MEANT to push you into new spaces, and do things that feel scary.

So whatever that scary things is...

- coming to Bump Club (OMG a table of complete strangers?!)
- learning about birth (OMG talking about vaginas with a stranger?!)
- coming out and about with your baby (OMG driving and roads?!)

Facing it is part of the process. And if you're being drawn to it, and are curious about it, I'd put money on this being the next step in your journey to becoming the absolutely kick-ass parent you were born to be.

Good birth preparation gives both of you confidence...

From the birthing process to the feeding schedule, it always goes smoother if you both know what's needed. And that starts with how you get ready for birth and baby life.

"We both feel so empowered, confident, calm and informed!"
(Mike & Carrianne)

My 5* antenatal classes aren't fluffy and my approach to birth preparation isn't about perfection. I'm a practising birth doula: I know there's no use in any of that.

No, my mission is to give you what you really need to get the positive birth you deserve.

Bringing your baby into the world is the single most incredible challenge you'll ever face & I believe you deserve to be as prepared for that as it's possible to be. Which is why my courses are filled with...

- the reality of birth in all it's forms
- the knowledge you need to make strong, confident choices
- the skills and techniques that can everything more manageable, from pain relief to breastfeeding, hypnobirthing to nappies.

Whether you're a first time parent, or a third; wanting a group setting or a course delivered in your own home, my 5* rated antenatal classes will get you feeling really ready for the next part of your birth and baby adventure.

Curious? DM me and we'll start the conversation.

If I could go back 6 years and tell my first-time-pregnant self anything, it'd be this...

That community you're craving? It's not silly. You'll need this to thrive... Building it during pregnancy will help.

BUT ALSO, it doesn't exist yet. Not here. Not unless you want to spend acres of time and money on trying to find your vibe.

BUT ALSO, one day, you'll know this and create it for others.

Birth Space Cornwall is a collective of pregnant & new-parent people who want to learn, talk and connect as they take a step into this new phase of life. And it's good.

Feeling those community cravings? Join us for less than a cost of a Costa... What have you got to lose?
