I haven't been present here for a while, I have taken some time away to reflect, and my energy has been elsewhere...

Some Midwives are being put in positions where they are unable to give women and babies the care, choice and support that they need. The system is driven by policies and procedures rather than giving evidence based care for specific individual situations. I have found that hard to deal with, how births could be handled so differently just from the decisions made at the very start of the journey - information that should be given, rather than fear mongering. Sometimes, I take this personally.

In the time I've been a little absent I haven't seen as many couples as I usually would. But in that time, I have reconnected with past clients and helped two lovely families have home births, and a first time Mum have a beautiful calm birth experience.

I feel there is hope. I know that if more women become empowered by Hypnobirthing, it will make a change.

I have missed the oxytocin boost I get from being around pregnant couples and getting them ready for birth! Selfishly, I've missed the calm feeling it gives me when I read scripts. Everytime I teach a couple I get a buzz about life and how amazing it is...I've really missed that - and underestimated how good it is for my soul.

2023 I'm ready for you! I am back and fully connected...If you know a couple who would like to take control of how they think about birth, change their mindset and the decisions they make along the journey, please send them my way! 1-2-1 sessions.

Leah Lewin: Following the investigation into the disproportionate disparities in black and brown maternal mortality rates, The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), has proposed a draft guideline which among other things, would recommend the induction of black and brown women and birthing people as a way of reducing risk. The details within the draft guidance are not supported by the knowledge and research already obtained, in which we have learnt that the pathologising of pregnant people, unnecessary interventions and an over medicalisation of birth actually increases, grief, fear and trauma.

Therefore the proposed guidelines would in fact cause harm to black and brown people.

Suggesting also that black and brown bodies are less able to birth contradicts history and does not address the original issue, instead causes another in addition.

More effectively, addressing the systemic racism, lack of knowledge and underfunding as well as affording the right support would be more effective.

Stop the implementation of NICE guidelines to induce black/brown women and birthing people

Happy world Hypnobirthing day 2021!

It always fills me with joy when couples come for sessions and then leave having had a 'lightbulb' moment, understanding how the process of birth works and what we can do to change the course of birth perhaps with just a few tiny tips in mind.

It has been a heavy week for women...for everyone.

I have just finished tonight with a lovely positive session with a second time hypno couple.

We started by talking about this week, everyday there has been something to think about or that has consumed us.

*International women's day
*Harry and Meghan
*The fallout, the difference in views and opinions
*The tragic loss of a women to a vicious man
*The protests
*And Mother's Day a time of love, but also pain for some

What a week, what turmoil we have all felt within our hearts, injustice, loss, they way in which women/people are viewed and perceived.

Be kind to yourselves, take a step back, let's be kind to each other, this world is too cruel.

It was nice to switch off tonight, talk about birth, get lost in it, nice to remind myself I have an escape from these thoughts and feelings.

Give space to your head this week, fall asleep to hypnosis/meditation let your mind have a rest from this heavy load.

The countdown has begun to school’s opening. There’s a glimmer of light at the end of a very long and chaotic tunnel; but we have to make sure that mothers are never put in this position again. We want our Government to understand that their gender blind policy making severely impacted your mental health. We want them to know that a ‘thank you’ and a little pat on the head was nowhere near enough. We want to make the invisible, visible. We’ve set up a phone line for you to call - to scream, to shout, to say whatever is on your mind as you limp towards the finish line. The messages you leave on this answerphone will be edited into a recording that will be sent to MPs, and posted across our social media channels to ensure your voices are heard; to ensure the government never allows this to happen ever, ever again. So pick up the phone next time you are losing your s**t and say or scream whatever is on your mind. The PTS SOS line is listening.

Please note that this is not a helpline. No one will call you back. This is a documentation project to make the invisible, visible.

Fantastic visual! I can relate! Sometimes just a change in position and a toilet trip is what you need to move things on! 😀
