A little more about The Big Birth Debrief 🤍

So many of you have been asking beautiful questions about this gathering and I wanted to share a little more about the heart behind it.
This is a private, intimate space for women to come together and gently process their birth experiences - whatever they look like. Whether you’re currently pregnant, preparing for another baby, or reflecting on a birth from years ago, you are so welcome here.

It will be a small, private circle of women, gently holding space for one another. You’ll never be put on the spot and you’re invited to share as much or as little as feels right for you. This isn’t about retelling every detail - it’s about being witnessed, releasing what you’re ready to let go of and feeling supported as we move toward a new year.

Birth stories stay in our bodies and our hearts in ways we don’t always realise, I’m so looking forward to holding this space with you alongside .and.co 🤍

If you have questions, keep them coming - my inbox is always open. Link in bio to book a spot 🎟️

Allow yourself to feel & be both 🫶🏼✨

• Caring for yourself isn’t a luxury - it’s absolutely essential. I remind my clients of this daily and I do my best to walk the walk.

• We are our own harshest critics. Self-compassion might just be the most underrated life skill we have.

• I can hold space for clients, remember the tiniest details of their stories… and still forget why I walked into a room 🤣

• So many mothers believe they’re the only ones struggling or “not doing enough.” Spoiler: they are doing so much more than they realise.

• There is such a monumental shift when couples realise it’s us against the problem, not us against each other 💕

Fellow counsellors (HK or anywhere!) what have been your big takeaways so far this year?

We need more parents communicating ✨

Partners, what most amazes you about your partner who has given birth? Have you paused to consider this? If not, will you?

Partners who have given birth, do you feel like you need to hear these? It doesn’t make you needy and it’s ok to ask to hear these things. You may also want to practice saying these things to yourself!

What is one thing you heard or wanted to hear post birth?

Excited does not express enough how I’m feeling about this event in partnership with .and.co - it’s going to be magic ✨ incredible feminine, raw, beautiful, magic!

We know it’s still a little bit away but we also know you’re busy mamas with busy schedules and planning this in for yourself for the near future will be a wonderful gift to wrap up 2025!

The BIG Birth Debrief is an invitation to make telling your story, more accessible, more intentional and more supported 💛
It’s a space to pause, breathe and honour you - your strength, your story, your becoming. Whether your birth was everything you hoped for or completely unexpected, this morning is about finding meaning, healing and connection through shared experience.

We would be honoured for you to join us for a gentle, heart-led morning of reflection, sharing and community 🌿

There are limited spots (just 20 mamas!) with a few tickets already gone, so please do not miss out if you think this might be for you!

Labour can be intense and your energy directly affects her body ⚡️

When you’re anxious → she produces adrenaline, which slows labour.
When you’re calm → she produces oxytocin, which helps labour progress.

The partners who truly support? They’re grounded. They breathe slowly. They create a bubble of calm instead of adding to the chaos.

BIRTH PARTNER BASICS 😮‍💨
1. Panic is Contagious
If you’re anxious, she’s feeling it.
Stress = adrenaline. Adrenaline cancels oxytocin.

So, what to do? Stay calm. Breathe slower than her.
😌 Your calm = her calm.

2. Don’t Ask Endless Questions
“Are you okay?” “Do you want this?” “Should I…?”
Every question pulls her out of her rhythm.

So, what to do? Observe. Offer when necessary. Support quietly.
🤫 Silence is usually golden.

3. Stop Trying to ‘Solve’ Everything
“Try this position.” “What about that one?” “Should I get the midwife?”
You’re not there to manage her labour - she knows what she needs.

So, what to do? Hold your question unless it’s absolutely necessary.
⚓️ Be her anchor, not her coach.

4. Ditch the Stopwatch
Timing obsessively creates pressure.
Birth isn’t a competition with the clock.

So, what to do? Simply, trust the process.
🛡️ Be her shield not her stress.

Save this and share it with your birth partner - it might just change their approach entirely.

Birth partners, what was the best advice you received for staying calm and supportive during labour? ⬇️

The newborn stage is full of magic but it can also test your relationship in ways you didn’t expect.

You’re both running on little sleep.
You’re both giving it your all.
And some days, it feels like you’re speaking completely different languages.

I often hear things like:
💬 “I just want to feel like we’re in this together.”
💬 “We’re doing everything for the baby…but nothing for us.”
💬 “I don’t know who I am, or who we are anymore”

You likely don’t need long date nights or 2 a.m. heart-to-hearts to reconnect. Sometimes, all it takes is a small pause.

These 5 simple questions are an easy, doable way to check in with each other - even in the chaos of postpartum life.

Think you might want to take your reconnection a little further? Reach out, I’d love to help 🫶🏼

You’re dealing with sleepless nights, shifting roles, new responsibilities and less time for each other 💛 It’s completely normal to feel more distant, find communication harder or notice new patterns of stress after baby arrives. These moments don’t mean something is “wrong” - they’re a natural part of adjusting to your new life together.

The Couples Reset is a supportive therapy session designed to help you and your partner reconnect, communicate more effectively and care for your relationship as you care for your baby.

Together, we’ll explore how to:
🌿 Rebuild closeness and intimacy
🌿 Navigate changing roles and expectations
🌿 Strengthen communication and teamwork
🌿 Support one another with compassion

Think of it as pressing pause - and gently resetting - so you can move forward as a stronger, more connected team!

Are You Prepared for Plan C?

When it comes to birth, we often spend most of our time preparing for Plan A - the ideal birth experience. Maybe you’ve thought about Plan B too, for when certain interventions or changes are needed.

But what about Plan C?

Plan C usually refers to a caesarean birth, often an emergency situation. It’s not something we hope for but it’s worth preparing for because being informed helps reduce stress, regret and even the risk of postpartum depression linked to feeling uninvolved in birth decisions.

If Plan C becomes necessary, the most powerful thing you and your partner can do is ask questions.
Use the BRAIN acronym as your guide:
🧠 B – What are the Benefits?
⚖️ R – What are the Risks?
🔄 A – Are there Alternatives?
💗 I – What does your Intuition say?
⏸️ N – What happens if we do Nothing for now?
You don’t have to know every possible scenario but you can plan how to communicate and who will speak up (often your birth partner)!

You can also think ahead about your preferences during a C-section:
-Introductions and being talked through the process
-Delayed cord clamping
-Immediate skin-to-skin contact, if possible

And remember: your focus should always be on Plan A, your ideal birth.
Plans B and C are simply there to support you - discussed once or twice with your doctor and kept tucked away until you need them.
No matter what path your birth takes, preparation and calm communication can help you feel informed, confident, and connected every step of the way 💛

Birth trauma doesn’t always sound like trauma ⬇️

Sometimes it sounds like a mother joking about her “trainwreck” birth.
A partner glossing over how terrified they felt.
Or a nervous laugh that hides something much deeper.
These moments are easy to miss - especially when the outside world is quick to reassure, minimise or move on, but what’s left unspoken often lingers.

Unprocessed experiences can quietly shape how someone feels about their body, their baby, their relationships and even their sense of safety in the world.

Talking with someone trained to listen can help.
Unlike friends or family who might rush to comfort or point to the positives, a counsellor can help you find words for what happened, understand why it still feels heavy and explore what healing might look like for you.

With birth being one of the most profound transitions a person can go through, it’s so important to create space to reflect and be heard. It can make all the difference between carrying the weight alone and moving forward with more clarity and care.

If this resonates and you’d like to speak with someone, please do reach out 🫶🏼✨

🌬️ Breathwork is not just for birth!

Our breath is one of the simplest yet most powerful tools we have to regulate stress, calm the nervous system and return to the present moment ✨
When we slow down and breathe mindfully, we remind the body: I am safe 💛

Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating early parenthood or simply moving through a busy day, your breath can ground you, soothe you and support you.

Take a deep breath right now - notice how it feels in your chest and belly - and let your body know you’re okay 🌿

Have you tried using breathwork outside of a class setting? I’d love to hear how it’s supported you 💬
