Gorgeous little pub reunion this weekend ♥️ so lovely to see everyone blossom into the wonderful, confident parents I knew they would be 🫶

The motherhood juxtaposition ❤️‍🩹 Returning to teaching at three months postpartum was not on my bingo card and although I ADORE my job and feel honoured that this is my little business, I do feel a tugging guilt that my little one isn’t getting the best of me, the missed baby groups the extra time in the carrier, the missed singing and sensory sessions. Whilst not posting enough on social media I’ve accepted something has to give a little. So here I am sending love and solidarity to all the Mums and Parents out there in the difficult turmoil of building a future for your little people whilst also trying to be as present as can be in the now.
Here for the honesty, here for my beautiful families, here for my own ❤️
(Also big thanks to for the photo)

My gorgeous February group! I’ve been SO bad at taking photos and posting them of my groups but I will get better! Had the absolute pleasure of being a tiny part of these lovely humans journey into parenthood 🫶♥️

What If My Partner’s More Nervous Than Me?

Birth partners often feel pressure to have all the answers. But you don’t need to be an expert to be an incredible support. You just need some basic knowledge, a calm presence, and a willingness to be involved.

We cover everything partners need to feel confident and useful, from how to advocate, to what comfort techniques actually help.

If you’re nervous, you’re not alone. That’s why preparing together is one of the most important things you can do as a couple before baby arrives.

Lots of people ask us if they’ve left it too late to benefit from Hypnobirthing.

You haven’t!

Whether you’re 20 weeks or 39 weeks, there’s still so much value in learning calming tools and understanding what’s happening during labour.

Even a few breathing techniques can help shift fear, build confidence, and make those early signs of labour feel less overwhelming. You don’t need months of preparation to benefit from Hypnobirthing (although in an ideal world that would be great!). Sometimes just a few hours can make all the difference ❤️

Inductions are sometimes suggested unnecessarily and often get a bad rep…but there are times that an induction is absolutely medically necessary and it’s important to know you can be induced and still have a really positive birth.

Being induced doesn’t mean losing your chance at a positive, empowering birth. Yes, it might mean changes. But it doesn’t mean you’ve lost all control.

🌼 You can still use your hypnobirthing tools.
🌼 You can still use your breathing techniques, utilise some biomechanics and make informed decisions.
🌼 You still matter in every part of the process.

We cover birth planning with flexibility, including how to feel confident even if things take a different route than expected.

What’s one thing you didn’t know about Labour or birth?!

Let’s talk birth surprises…what’s one thing about labour or birth that totally shocked you?

-That your waters don’t always gush like the movies?
-That early labour can last for days?
-That you're ‘allowed’ to refuse vaginal exams?

So many things about labour never get mentioned until you're right there, googling on a yoga ball! That’s why we cover everything in our classes, the obvious, the awkward, the overlooked.

Drop yours in the comments, it might help someone else feel a little less unprepared :)
