Everyone prepares for the birth. Almost no one prepares for what comes after.

Postpartum nearly broke me—and my marriage. We were just surviving, not really talking. Then I found this 5-minute ritual (thanks ) and it changed everything.

It’s not fancy. It doesn’t “fix” things. But it stops the silent resentment that builds when you’re both stretched thin. Honestly? It saved us.

Save this for those early days, or any time things feel heavy ❤️

Come and join in for this free welcome session to the Radiant Birth Club!

This is not your regular antenatal class, nor a pregnancy exercise class. This is a space to feel held and supported whilst you explore your birth options, infused with simple and effective hypnobirthing techniques that will give you the power to have a peaceful and positive path through pregnancy and labour. You will come away feeling relaxed, and more informed.

In this welcome session we will also be joined by Kendra from the Massage Mission, who will guide you through all things pregnancy massage and essential oils. If you’re willing, you might even get a massage!

Prepping for a vbac is like a military campaign but it shouldn’t be.

Comment ‘vbac’ and I’ll send you a list of my favourite vbac resources.

There is risk involved in any birth, the key is to understand the research, contemplate your own needs, and calculate your own personal risk.

My consultant wanted me to birth on labour ward, hooked up to all the machines (again! That’s exactly what got me into this situation the time before).

Instead I chose to birth at home with my children present.

Birthing out of guidelines went against my ‘good girl complex’ but I did what I knew was right for me, my family and my baby.

Don’t forget comment ‘vbac’ for a nudge in the right direction.

Have you experienced much push back to your vbac plans?

You’re not “being difficult.”
You’re asking for the basic level of care that should’ve been offered from the start.

But in a system built on routine and protocol, real choice can feel like rebellion.

This post is for the woman sitting across from a consultant, feeling like she’s supposed to nod and agree while her gut says “wait.”

It’s for the one who doesn’t know if she’s “allowed” to ask questions.

✨ You don’t need permission.
You need time, information, and someone who won’t flinch when you say,
“That doesn’t feel right for me.”

Let’s get you there.
DM me READY and let’s walk through your options together, one informed choice at a time.
