Birth Plans and Boundaries Podcast
Do you feel confident, informed and excited about your baby’s birth?
I believe that every woman deserves a positive birth experience, where you are treated as an individual and feel empowered to speak up for your preferences and choices.
You only get to birth this baby once, and you will always remember it, so taking the time to understand the process of birth can dramatically improve your experience.
I can help you to unlock the secrets of an awesome birth experience, and to feel reassured that your body knows what to do if given the time and space to do it!
Experienced Midwife, Massage Therapist, qualified Hypnobirthing & Birth Trauma Resolution Practitioner
With over three decades of experience and expertise, welcoming literally hundreds of babies into the world, both in the NHS and more recently as a private Midwife offering independent support as an alternative to the NHS model of maternity care.
I have supported numerous families through tough decisions, experienced beautiful calm births, and offered advocacy and support when the original care pathway did not unfold as expected.
My ultimate goal is to help as many couples as possible to avoid the one size fits all NHS maternity model, and to offer individualised continuity of care.
Let me show you how to
step into your power
The Complete Hypnobirthing and Newborn course.
Helping you to achieve the best birth possible.
The Complete Hypnobirthing and Newborn course is the most comprehensive and supported antenatal birth class programme, currently available in the UK.
All journeys to birth are not the same, yet we live in a world with a one size fits all maternity system where women are being told what will happen, based on policies and guidelines.
The only way to find your path to a positive birth experience, is to get prepared.
Birth Plan Appointment
Let’s take a deep dive into your current birth plan and preferences.
Together, we’ll refine your plan and ensure that all possible scenarios have been thoroughly covered.
You might have heard that you can’t plan for birth, but I believe that now, more than ever, it’s crucial to have comprehensive contingency plans in place. These plans will safeguard your birth experience and provide you with a sense of control and preparation. My birth plan service is designed to give you peace of mind, knowing that you’ve considered various possibilities and are ready to adapt to any situation.
Birth Debrief
Sometimes things don’t go to plan.
You are trying to piece together the events surrounding your birth experience. You have so many questions, and may be feeling confused and disappointed.
Take back control and start to understand and explore your feelings with either a Birth Debrief session or the Traumatic Birth Recovery 3-Step Rewind programme to help you to process your thoughts and feelings about the birth; to focus on the way forward so that you can gain closure.
“Whenever and however you give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body,and your spirit for the rest of your life.”
