Perhaps your birth was beautiful but overwhelming.
Perhaps it didn’t go to plan.
Perhaps there are moments you replay in your mind, questions that remain unanswered, or feelings that are difficult to put into words.
You may find yourself telling the story over and over again, wondering why certain parts still affect you, or feeling emotions that you thought would have faded with time.
If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone.
With over 21 years of experience supporting women through pregnancy, birth and motherhood, and many years attending births as a doula, I offer a safe, compassionate space where your story can be heard, honoured and gently explored.
Birth Story Medicine may be helpful if:
• You keep replaying parts of your birth in your mind.
• You feel emotional when talking about your birth experience.
• You struggle to make sense of what happened.
• You feel disappointed, angry, frightened or confused about aspects of your birth.
• You feel your experience was not acknowledged or understood by others.
• You had a positive birth but still feel the need to reflect and process what happened.
• You simply feel called to explore and honour your story.
There is no right or wrong way to feel about your birth. There is no judgement and no expectation. This is a space where your story can be witnessed, understood and held with compassion.
This isn’t simply about talking about your birth. It is about understanding how your birth is still living inside you, and finding a new way to hold it.
Because every birth story matters. And every mother matters too.

Embracing my bed/ beach hair combo, it is what it is and all is well 😉
Last night in my women’s practice class in Sefton Park, we touched on an idea from yogic philosophy: that the way we experience the world is often coloured by what is happening within us.
The same situation can feel completely different depending on our thoughts, emotions, fears and expectations. When the mind is busy or unsettled, we see the world through that lens. When we become quieter and more present, we may begin to see things differently.
Our practice isn’t about changing what is happening around us, but becoming aware of how we are perceiving it and what meaning we are giving to what we perceive.
A phrase I’ve found myself using a lot over the last few years is simply:
“How interesting…”
Notice. Pause. Take a step back.
Rather than immediately believing every thought or reacting to every feeling, we can become curious about what is happening within us.
This links beautifully to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras:
“Elsewhere, the seer identifies with the modifications of the mind.”
— Yoga Sutra 1.4
We don’t simply experience the world as it is. Our perceptions are influenced by our memories, fears, desires, expectations and habits.
Two people can experience exactly the same situation and have completely different experiences of it.
And perhaps this is where our practice begins.
It starts with the breath.
Notice your breath, and you begin to notice your thoughts.
Notice your thoughts, and you have choices.
Which thoughts do I follow?
Which thoughts nourish me?
Which thoughts sabotage me?
No pressure, but yes, pressure.
We owe it to ourselves to train the mind.
This is the path: awareness, presence, practice.
And every time you forget, drop off or fall by the wayside, you can always begin again.
It’s the next breath.
And then the next breath.
And little by little, as the path unfolds - and what we need to know reveals itself when we are ready to know it. 🧘‍♀️

Thanks to the super busy, beautiful mama who sent me this message after our Tuesday Sanctuary in the City last week.
This is what happens when we gather, create the space to breathe and move gently together with outpost and intention.
We create the space, we invite peace, and peace comes .
It’s always there, it’s just us, who come and go … coming back to our centre every Tuesday 🙏🏼

Take me to the river … back in 2005, an anxious new mama held her baby in her arms as she introduced him to the waters that she’d played in her whole life.
I didn’t know then but he’d be a real water baby, happiest when submerged!
I also didn’t know how my Matresence journey would shape my work for decades to come.
I didn’t live the fairytale. My experience didn’t live up to the magazines, the movies, the romantic stories I’d read.
Birth cracked me open. It was powerful & raw. Motherhood dragged me kicking and screaming (internally) through a hedge backwards.
I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat much, I had white knuckles on my pram and I desperately wanted to be ok, I wanted everyone’s approval. I wanted to be ok but for a while I really wasn’t.
I know now, that my experience is common. I had postnatal anxiety. It’s not everyone’s experience all the time, but to some degree most new mums will struggle.
And this is part of initiation. It turns us inside out. It strips us right back and plants us in a new place and invites us to grow …
Initiation is not for the faint hearted. And neither is motherhood.
A big impact on our experience is how much support we have? We help our children as they learn to walk. In the same way, we as new mums need help to find our feet.
New motherhood was never meant to happen in isolation.
Independence has no real place in early motherhood. We are not meant to be independent. We are interdependent and we need others.
Having an older more experienced mother around can be precious so long as she is kind, patient and reassures you. An older mother that whispers, ‘you are such a good mum’ can be the medicine a new mum needs.
I lived with my mum until my baby was 5 and I have such precious memories of those years.
Another women who cooked, did the washing, loved my child as much as I did 😋 I’d come home from work, to her nose to nose with my toddler fast asleep having completely ignored my bedtime instructions! 😴🙈😂 but it was love ❤️
Know a new mum? Invite her over, put the kettle on, open a packet of biscuits and give her a big hug.

New mums we were never designed to be alone with our newborn babies. Our nervous system registers that something‘s wrong if we are isolated for too long, alone with our babies. We are tribal we are communal we are women and when we connect, talk listen, share - we thrive.!
It’s a true story!
And it’s not about what we talk about it’s usually conversations about sleep about milk about poo things that you never imagined. You could talk to a woman about whom you’ve just met. But motherhood erases so many things that normally separate us in motherhood we’re all the same we’re all mums!
Come for the class, stay for the chats, keep coming back for the friendships … ❤️ and if you’ve been to my baby classes you’ll know if you come early enough, I’ll make you a cup of tea and I’ve always got a banana for anyone who skipped breakfast, and even if you haven’t skipped breakfast but you’ve been up since 5 am and you find yourself starving by 1030 I’m good for a ‘second brekkie’ snack!
