Tomorrow I turn 40 🎈

How did that happen?

It's a milestone that’s been a mix of reflection, gratitude, and excitement. My life is full—of children, community, messy moments, deep conversations, birth stories, coffee mornings, dancing, woodland walks, and the privilege of supporting women through life-changing transitions.

I’ve walked alongside women through some of the most powerful and vulnerable moments of their lives, while also navigating my own journey as a mum of three, a home educator, a space holder, and a woman learning to soften and stand strong at the same time.

I’ve learned that birth and motherhood aren’t about perfection—they’re about trust, connection, and having the right support around you. And honestly, that lesson applies to life too.

I’m stepping into 40 with a stronger sense of self, clearer boundaries, and a heart full of purpose. Still learning. Still growing. Still holding space 🤍Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far.
I’ve lived, learned, birthed, healed, unlearned, and reclaimed parts of myself I didn’t even know I’d lost.

Here’s to trusting my intuition, honouring my body, and continuing to hold space—for myself and others.
Hello 40… let’s go 💃✨

✨ A Christmas Reflection & Thank You ✨

As the year gently comes to a close and Christmas is almost here, I just want to take a moment to say thank you.

This year has been full of growth, learning, deep conversations, big emotions, and so much connection. I’ve had the absolute privilege of holding space for women and families through pregnancy, birth, the postnatal period, baby groups, relaxation sessions, coffee mornings, and everything in between. It never fails to humble me how much trust is placed in me during such a powerful, vulnerable, and transformational time in life.

Christmas can be a mixed bag — joyful for some, tender or heavy for others. If this season brings excitement, I hope it’s filled with warmth, rest, and connection. If it feels hard, please know you are not alone, and it’s okay to take things slowly and gently 🤍

As we head into a new year, my intention remains the same:
✨ to continue supporting women with compassion and honesty
✨ to help families feel informed, confident, and respected
✨ to advocate, nurture, and remind you of the wisdom you already hold

Thank you to everyone who has followed, supported, shared, attended sessions, trusted me with your stories, or simply cheered me on quietly from the sidelines. Your support means more than you know.

Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a gentle New Year ✨
Much love,
Kelly 🤍

🌿 Hello lovely people! I’m Kelly from Holding Space Beginnings🌿

I just wanted to reintroduce myself and share the support I offer to families in our community. If you or someone you know is pregnant, preparing for birth, or navigating those early baby days, I’d love to help. 💛

✨ What I Offer:

👣 Reflexology (Mobile – in the comfort of your home!)
Relaxation, hormone balance, easing pregnancy aches, better sleep, emotional wellbeing… reflexology supports it all. I offer treatments for all ages — from babies to the elderly.

🧘‍♀️ Hypnobirthing Courses (1:1 in your home)
• Full 8–10 hr Course
• Intensive 4 hr
• Caesarean Birth Course
• Refresher
Hypnobirthing teaches you how your body works in labour, how to reduce fear, build confidence, make informed choices, and feel calm, positive and prepared no matter how you birth.

🤱 Doula Support
Emotional support, advocacy, information, reassurance, and a grounding presence throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
I’m there solely for *you* — whether you birth at home, in hospital, in theatre, or anywhere in between. Your choices, your body, your birth… and I stand beside you every step of the way.

If you’re looking for:
🌿 Confidence
🌿 Support
🌿 Education
🌿 Calm
🌿 And someone fully in your corner…

I’d love to chat. 💛

I had two lovely reflexology clients yesterday, both relaxing in the comfort of their own home while enjoying a beautiful treatment ✨💆‍♀️
I'm looking forward to seeing 2 more lovely clients this evening 💖

There’s nothing better than seeing someone switch off in their own space and come away with calmer energy, softer shoulders and a lighter mind. 🌿

If you’re in need of a little reset, some quiet time, or just want to give your body + mind a treat, I can come to you. 💛

🦶 Mobile Reflexology
🕯️ Calm, cosy treatments at home
🌙 Support for stress, sleep, hormones & overall wellbeing

DM to book or ask any questions ✨

Much love
Kelly

Love this visual 😍
I highly recommend: Dr Sara Wickham's book Birthing Your Placenta
This book will truly help you make an informed choice on how you want to birth the placenta and what is important to you in regards to the placenta being detached from your baby.

When I birthed my last child the placenta stayed attached for about 2hrs. Why the rush 💖

When it comes to clamping the cord, our motto is “what’s the rush?” 🤷‍♀️

The blood volume in the placenta & cord at the time of birth is BABY’S blood. It’s simply mid-circulation in the placenta at the time of birth. It just makes sense to leave it be & let it finish its job.

🚫No, the blood won’t drain out of baby and go backwards into the placenta.
🚫No, your baby is not more likely to get sick from jaundice.
✅Yes, your baby will still be getting oxygen while they figure out breathing, especially important if they need resuscitation.
✅Yes, your baby will have better iron levels for the first year of their life.

Look at how thick and engorged this cord still is at 4 and 18 minutes after baby was born. Just imagine how much blood baby would have lost if the cord had been clamped immediately, or at 60sec, 90sec, or 3mins!

The placenta was expelled immediately before the 18 minute photo was taken.

⚡️⚡️The pulse in the cord could still be felt even AFTER THE PLACENTA HAD BEEN DELIVERED! ⚡️⚡️

The cord was finally clamped & cut more than an hour after birth at 73 minutes.

💞 A beautiful placenta made by a beautiful woman. 💞

🌿✨ Checking in…how’s your week been?✨🌿
I’ve been easing myself back into posting and reconnecting here, and I’m honestly loving the slower pace of it.
Today I’ve been thinking about how much we all carry — physically, mentally, emotionally — and how little space we often give ourselves to just pause.
So here’s your little reminder (and mine too):💛 Take one slow breath
💛 Stretch your shoulders
💛 Drink some water
💛 And notice one thing you’re grateful for today

It doesn’t fix everything… but it softens things.

Tell me something small that’s made you smile this week. 💛

Much Love
Kelly x
