📎 This is so interesting! (link in bio) 📎 I always ask my mums to consider taking an eye mask into their birth, mainly to block out what you don’t want/need to see. It can also serve as a visual sign to others that you don’t want to be disturbed! But virtual reality headsets could be amazing to transport you to you happy Oxytocin place, help with visualisations and bring calmness. What do you think?! 👓 👀
Raising a glass tonight to Michael Monk. Many of you kind souls donated money towards his treatment @team_monk_uk, but he tragically lost his fight with cancer two weeks ago. He lost it, however, so gracefully, so bravely, and as such a huge inspiration to so many. He taught us an enormous amount about love and life during his fight, and our hearts are broken for his lovely wife and beautiful daughter. RIP Michael Monk ❤️

What an absolute JOY it was to teach this one today. I met @beckyfcj 11 years ago when she came to work for me. I was her ‘Battenburg’ and she was my ‘Petitbec’ (long story, but also as a side note-to-self, perhaps my leadership style is a touch over-friendly 😂). Fast forward to now, she’s living in Dubai with her husband, has come home to the UK to give birth, and we did my short express Hypnobirthing masterclass today in the Seaford sunshine. The difference between how she’s feeling and talking about birth even since I arrived this morning is ridiculous- such a big change and shift and I’m beyond proud (yet again) of her. Cannot wait to meet this little baby! 🥰 #hypnobirthingbrighton #brightonhypnobirthing #positivebirth #teachingfriends
This morning was my first group course since my birthday in June, when my lovely sister @lindsaycarr1 MADE and gave me this! A beautiful paper art version of my logo, framed to use when I teach. How amazing is it??!! Oh, and gorgeous garden-cut flowers from @saritabrighton earlier in the week. Lucky me! 👌🏻 💐
30th June. Every year for the last five years I’ve gone down to the section of beach in Brighton where we scattered our daughter’s ashes. It was THE most painful time of our lives; I sometimes think I’ll never recover from it, even though now I’ve met so many brave men and women going through far, far worse. Today marks the day she was born, sleeping, and tiny, but absolutely perfect. It’s made me who I am today and such a huge part of why I help women through the anxieties of pregnancy and birth because I feel them. I’ve been there and I know it. I used to worry about being someone who works with pregnant women all the time, and yet sharing such a dark part of pregnancy, but I know now that it’s just made me, me. And now, with a wine in hand and the sun shining I’m just focusing on being grateful for everything I have, and for the tiny baby who made the biggest impact on my life. ❤️
Feeling pretty emosh sitting here thinking that I went into labour this time two years ago, and had just the most wonderful home birth ahead of me. Hypnobirthing has changed my life in many ways, but boy did it chance my experience of birth. It was calm and magical, I felt completely listened to, supported, loved and non-observed. I felt relaxed and like I knew what I was doing; I felt confident and happy. With @mumlife2midwife one side of me (providing the LOLs throughout and the unending “you are breathing BEAUTIFULLY”), and my husband to the other side being my rock (ok so he made the pool flood the lounge but otherwise was amazing 😂), plus my three amazing Midwives, I could not have asked for a better team, a better environment or better preparation. My baby girl was nearrrrrly here! 2 tomorrow ⭐️⭐️ #hypnobirthingbrighton #positivebirth #hellobaby #brightonhypnobirthing
🤔 Someone said this to me today, and I’m not sure I wholly agree, although the sentiment about working to remove fear from decision making in childbirth is right up my street 🥰... Sometimes, adrenaline - and fear - can encourage us into quick reactions which may (or may not!) be a good decision. However... in birth, it’s about making *informed* decisions. If your decision is informed by choice, evidence, alternatives, risks and benefits then whatever you then decide to do is a good decision. Fear can totally inhibit this informed-decision-making-process in a big way, by shutting parts of your brain down to survive this ‘emergency’ mode. One of the exercises I set clients after session one is to physically list all their fears about birth, just for themselves. There’s power in putting it down on paper and helps us bespokely work on chipping away at those fears in our subconscious 💥

🤩 GROUP COURSE BEFORE AND AFTER 🤩 A copyrighter, a hairdresser, a surgeon, and a giftware designer (people have such cool jobs!) arrived a few weeks ago with their birth partners to embark on my May group Hypnobirthing course. On their last night, I asked them to write down how they felt before starting the course, versus how they felt now. I read them all when I got home and I actually shed a tear/some tears/lots of tears (it still gets me! Every piece of feedback and every birth story!) Literally in black and white staring at me was why I do this; to empower women to trust their body, the birthing process and to give them and their birth partners tangible, practical tools to have a positive experience, no matter how or where they give birth. Feeling pretty lucky ❤️💕🤩 —- swipe left for the ‘after’!
