I love to plan. In fact, I’m a serial planner. I have lists of lists of lists and calendars full of 1‑year, 5‑year and 10‑year plans. Do any of these plans ever get completed? Do any of them ever go to “plan”? A few. A very few follow their projected path. Most of them take detours — some of them go on long summer holidays and only return when I least expect them.

I wonder then why we expect birth to “follow the plan”.

At Wild Hare Rising I don’t talk about birth plans. I talk about Value‑Based Birth Preferences. It sounds complicated but it isn’t. It’s what happens when we stop trying to plan every last moment and instead start thinking about how we might react, feel and adjust when things do change.

If you’d like to explore this, get in touch.

How is it Autumn already? I blinked and Summer vanished. Wild Hare Rising has had its holiday and now I’m getting things lined up for the next few months.

New antenatal courses are starting in October, November and December. If you’re expecting and want something clear, calm and actually useful, you can find out more here: https://www.wildharerising.co.uk/wild-hare-antenatal-courses/

I’m also running workshops at The Nest Holmfirth every other week until November. Their Instagram has the details if you want to see what’s on or drop me a message for more details.

Friday Flock starts back on Friday 4th September, 9.30–10.30am. It’s a simple drop‑in for expectant parents and those with non‑mobile babies. Turn up, sit down, have a chat if you want to. No need to book and the session is payf (guide price £5).

This review, among others, has meant I’m heading into my summer holiday with a spring in my step. I don’t think there’s a job in the world that can make you feel this happy.

Even though I’m away, you can still contact me through all the usual means. I may be a little slower in responding, but you can still book, enquire about our Autumn courses, or arrange a Discovery Call.

I’ll also still be available to any of my clients who have questions or want information for their upcoming births. You’re never left without support.

If you are interested in the antenatal course starting 3rd September please direct message me. There are still places available.

Doing new things often feels overwhelming. Add in some hormones and it's not surprising pregnancy can feel a little like a roller-coaster. That's why taking a moment for yourselves on an antenatal course and talking to other parents to be can be so useful. That moment when another person says 'I feel that too' or 'I hear you' can make all the difference.

From September I will be offering a set of expectant and early parenthood workshops with The Nest Holmfirth. These are standalone workshops focusing in on one aspect of the parenting journey running across twelve weeks.

I thought it might be helpful to introduce who the workshops are for and the difference between them and the longer form antenatal courses I do at The Nest Holmfirth.

The workshops are perfect if you want focused support on a single topic. They’re ideal for first‑time parents, returning parents, or anyone who wants to revisit an aspect of pregnancy, birth, or early parenthood with fresh eyes. You can dip in and out as life allows. They’re flexible, accessible, and designed to meet you exactly where you are.

My antenatal courses are different in feel and purpose. They run over six weeks with the same group of parents, which allows for layered learning and deeper conversations. Each week builds on the last. You get time to settle, time to ask questions, and time to grow confidence in your own way of thinking. These courses also create something workshops cannot: a small community of parents who walk into early parenthood together. Many of my groups stay connected long after the course ends.

There is some overlap in content, because the foundations of pregnancy and early parenthood matter no matter how you access them. But the experience is different. Workshops give you quick, focused support. Courses give you depth, continuity, and a network.

Both are valuable. Both are designed with care. And both are here to support you in the way that feels right for your stage, your needs, and your life.

If you’re unsure which option fits you best, you’re always welcome to reach out or book a Discovery Call so we can talk it through.

I feel so lucky to have customers say such lovely things about their courses. If you want to see the our most recent reviews check out our profile on Google. Thank you everyone who has left a message we appreciate it more than words can say.

One of the best things about running courses from The Nest Holmfirth is that it's a space already used for parents. It's spacious and welcoming with lots of light. Added to that there are activities throughout the week to support you once your baby arrives. To find out more drop me a message.
