This is a comprehensive one day course that offers a very personal approach and an opportunity to discuss any concerns that you may have.
I refer to this course as a blended approach as I also include some hypnobirthing strategies as well as some affirmation cards and a relaxation script (mp3).

The perfect gift from one of my doula clients 🥰
As a midwife I have spent many hours wafting a bedpan over a birthing woman to cool them down and this client also benefited from my wafting😊
So it was really thoughtful of her to buy me a fan(along with flowers) to benefit other birthing women and also save my poor arms and wrists.

Labour Hopscotch
✨Labour Hopscotch (like the game we used to play as kids) was created and designed by a community midwife Sinead Thompson in 2015.
✨This was designed to assist women achieve physiological births and remain as active as possible.
✨The premise is that you have to train for the physicality of labour. Just like you would if you were training for a marathon. The same preparation applies to labour and birth to achieve a positive experience.
✨There are 7 stations in LH that are aimed at optimal fetal positioning
✨The first station is called ‘mobilise’ and it encourages you to;
🔹do pelvic tilts
🔹squats
🔹sideways on the stairs (stepping up and down a stair)
🔹lunges
These should be done during pregnancy and can also be helpful to encourage spontaneous labour.

If you know a new mum who is breastfeeding think about how you help her.
It might be simple things like making a meal or doing a bit of shopping or if they have other children, taking them for a walk.
Let’s support new mums and increase our breastfeeding rates in the UK!
Traditionally, we all focus on the date our baby is due. However, it can put immense pressure on you. As soon as your due date is here, friends and family will start messaging you or you may get fed up waiting for baby to arrive.
Take the pressure off yourself. We know babies come between 37-42 weeks, so focusing on your due date is of no help whatsoever!
