Dragging my Nan into allllllll my harebrained schemes. Convincing her to let me turn her front bedroom into a studio for filming my Birth Planning and Pain Relief course.

This woman has proof-read the course handbook I teach with. Worked with me through severe burnout when I had to complete my MA dissertation (providing a sounding board and CAKE). She is brutally honest. And has authority that knows NO BOUNDS. She is my feeder and my enabler.

I'm waiting for her reply... 😬

Picking beans.

The vision.

Simon's vision of my vision. 🍉🍉 😆

This lovely couple worked together to achieve a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section). They had a tough time during their first labour and even though there were plenty of obstacles in their way, they used hypnobirthing techniques, such as massage and breathing to get them through the birth of their second child.

It's messages like this that make me see just how needed realistic antenatal education is- a space to help you realise that the dream birth isn't always promised and doesn't look the same for everyone. It isn't necessarily WHAT HAPPENS, it's how you ARE LEFT FEELING ABOUT YOUR BIRTH THAT MATTERS.

Now if the idea of a third baby- straight after the second one- isn't a good recommendation, I don't know what is?!

3 unpopular but realistic perspectives on birth:

1. A pain-free birth is rare.
2. Your birth plan will most likely need adapting.
3. Tearing and episiotomy are very common.

But if you expect this and arm yourself with a poweful mindset and coping mechanisms, whose to say you won't be able to cope?

I know how much effort you'll put into preparing the baby's nursery. Paint colours and the aesthetics. Damn it- i know the hours you'll have put into the

It's just what we do- we imagine the future- from the moment we decide we want a baby. And this room becomes our focus, the outpouring of love before we even get to meet them.

But when I say this, I say it with love (and from experience)- the baby won't care what colour their room is. All they care about is YOU.

And if you think you should prepare for birth- INVEST IN YOU- I say absolutely. Birth prep for you and your partner can contribute to the memories of the VERY MOMENT you get to meet your baby. Whilst it can't physically prevent birth trauma, it can certainly arm you with knowledge that can help you feel safe and calm. It can allow you to advocate for your needs and feel listened to. It is worth EVERY PENNY.

So whilst your nesting instinct might have you painting everything in sight, remember to research a good (preferably ours 🤭). And if the budget means you have to choose between a nursery and , the baby won't sleep in their own room for at least the first 6 months... 🫠🤯🙈

When we get baby news, we are always so incredibly proud of our parents. They navigated meeting their baby and did it with unbeliavable strength.

We often get thanked for helping- but really, all we share is information and how to find reliable resources. We talk about how to change your mindset during birth and practical tips and techniques.

It's the parents that take all that information and run with it. They put in the practise and pack the bags. They advocate for their needs on the day. They work as a team to become a family ❤️

So I collect these names- not to show how well we have done, but to show just how amazing the parents coped with this HUGE rite of passage. It really astounds me everytime.

Are you scared, but excited to meet your baby?

If your baby is due in February-April 2026 and you are based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire or Northants- come join us for FULL ANTENATAL PREPARATION.

We are in-person classes every Monday evening across February (2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd) in Olney. We run for 2.5 hours, so that we can cram in as much a possible- but don't worry, you'll get snacks.

To book visit the link in our bio, our website or DM us for details.

Calling all cutie patooties bebes. Does your mum need a hot drink and some time to speak to another adult? We thought so.

Bring her along to our mum-meet...

A very relaxed meet with the chance to grab a coffee and breakfast (which we all know can get forgotten amidst the nappy changes and feeding).

Drop-in for the whole time or just whenever you can make it. Bring a friend or come alone (we are a friendly bunch, I promise!) Thursday 22nd January @ 10.30AM-12.30PM. We will be upstairs in the event space at The Cafe at Willen Lake in Milton Keynes.

Whether you are practising getting out of the house for the first time or this isn't your first rodeo... there's a space for you at our table. You don't have to have completed one of our courses to attend, but we welcome our Hypno-bebes back too for a snuggle.

Why do we run free Birth Prep and Hypnobirthing tasters?

🩷It's really important that you get to here how our antenatal class can be used in any setting and during any type of birth.
🩵It matters that you get to ask questions to a real person that actually understands the mixture of fear and excitement you are feeling.
🩷 It's vital you start to hear POSITIVE birth stories and challenge the negativity we are bombarded with when it comes to birth and the UK's Maternity system.
🩵It's essential that you have an understanding of what hypnobirthing can do before you invest in ANY course (not just ours).

Take a look at what we cover in more detail by scrolling through the photos.

We would love to see you and your birth partner(s) there for a drink and a chat. No pressure, just space to ask questions.
